Lemon Sharks (Negaprion Brevirostris) are sharks recognizable by their yellow skin that helps them camouflage against the sandy waters of their habitat. They live in subtropical waters and are known to return to specific nursery sites to breed. Lemon Sharks often feed at night and use electroreceptors to find their prey.
They eat a variety of fish, rays, crustaceans, seabirds, and other sharks. Lemon sharks live in groups that allow them to have communication, courtship, and protection among one another. They are near threatened with extinction.
Lemon Sharks have a total length between 7.5’-11’ (2.3-3.4 m) and an overall weight in the range of 190-400 lb (86-181 kg). The typical lifespan of the Lemon Shark is 25-35 years.
