Lemon Shark Author: Ghirin

The lemon shark (Negaprion brevirostris) is a large shark that inhabits the coastal waters of the Atlantic ocean, primary the coasts of the Americas and western Africa. A second population is also found in the Pacific coastal waters off of North and South America.

Lemon sharks form loose, same-sex groups that may come inshore during the day, but usually return to deeper waters at night. They are often found near the bottoms of of the bodies of water where they feed on bony fishes and crustaceans.

This species of shark is viviparous, giving birth to live pups (litter size ranges 4-17 pups). The pups live in shallow waters for the first years before venturing out into deeper waters.
