The lemon shark, ''Negaprion brevirostris'', is a shark in the family Carcharhinidae, can grow to 10 feet long. It is known as the lemon shark because light interacting at certain depths with the local seawater can give this shark a tanned and yellow, pitted appearance, much like the surface of a lemon.
