The scientific name for the Lemon Shark is Negaprion brevirostris

# data[].attributes.body
Lemon sharks inhabit coastal inshore waters from New Jersey to South Brazil, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean in the northwest Atlantic Ocean and along the Ivory Coast of Africa in eastern Atlantic. Lemon sharks can also be found at depths up to 300 feet (90 m).

The largest lemon shark ever recorded was around 12.1 feet (3.7 m) long.

The Lemon Sharks diet consists of a very broad range of preys eating rays, seabirds, others sharks, and all kinds of fish species

They tend to prefer a prey when it is more abundant and available. Lemon sharks feed selectively on species that are slower and more easily captured by using a stalking technique. Lemon sharks feed on prey that are intermediate in size compared to other available prey. This tendency can be explained by the tradeoff between the probability of capture and the profitability when it comes to prey size

The Lemon shark is viviparous, meaning that they give live birth. After a gestation period of 10 to 12 months, pregnant females enter shallow nursery areas in spring and summer to give birth to litters of 4 to 17 pups.

Lemon sharks are one of the most studied sea animal and shark on the planet. Therefore, scientists have had the opportunity to observe more of their behavior than any other shark

The upper teeth are narrow and broad with triangular smooth-edged cusps and finely serrated bases. These teeth get more oblique as they get closer to the corner of the mouth. The lower teeth are narrow and triangular with smooth-edged cusps

It is believed that this shark has a special set up with the retina. This enables them to be able to see very clearly even in the murky depths under the water

# data[].attributes.body
Lemon sharks can weigh up to 551 pounds (250 kg), 10 feet in length, and they can live up to 30 years

Lemon sharks have an unusual yellow-brown coloring that resembles a lemon. Their yellow skin helps camouflage them against the sea floor in shallow-waters when hunting. Their undetectability allows for easy hunting on prey

The mangroves that the young mainly inhabit are highly productive waters, creating an excellent area for feeding, but also an area of very low oxygen content. However, the Lemon shark has many adaptations that increase oxygen uptake, such as blood with an unusually high affinity for oxygen
