Friendly Little Lemon Shark

[@albinogingerblackman7739]

Apparently lemon sharks can not only recognize a human but will sometimes even bond with divers, becoming visibly excited when they see them and following their human around

[@BetsyGood]

True story!!! It's happened to me on several trips. They are so cooly curious!

Sometimes when people are giving attention to a tiger shark the lemon shark will swoop in and chase it off just so the human will give it attention

[@BetsyGood]

I have some videos on here showing me getting photo bombed by a lemon while getting some amazing tiger footage four freaking times. Pretty hilarious then and now!!

[@its_ezralol]

No That’s not True.Lemons Try and lay on the floor with divers.And the Tiger Sharks come and nudge and scare them off.

@@its_ezralol Uhhm, I have plenty of videos on here of them swimming all around me; one has two coming right at me, side-by-side, and they split to either side when they got right in front of me. I'm going again in three weeks so I'm hoping for the same interaction. They were everywhere and not a single one was on the floor.

No. But it does take wisdom to know which species to not go near like this. White tip reef sharks are notorious for attacking divers unporovoked.

@@a-ramenartist9734 You tell 'em!!!!!! Spot on and thank you. I have way too much experience diving with them all around me to even consider them "killing machines." They are an incredible species that gets a horrible rap almost always from mistaken identity. Seals instead of paddling surfboarders, something yummy in very murky water... And oceanic white tips are NO DIFFERENT. Some of my friends are researchers that are always in shark week; you may be entitled to your opinions, but not your own FACTS.

[@shareavonbarroza]

Its cute to see a swimming lemon shark with fishes But that fish with the lemon shark might be suckerfish

[@BetsyGood]

It is a suckerfish, you are correct! But the type is called a remora. It's actually a parasite, but the relationship is symbiotic. The remora cleans the shark (I have some footage of them cleaning the teeth in a wide open mouth!) and in turn the shark let's them feed off its scraps. But if they annoy the shark, they're donesies. 😂

[@BetsyGood]

Agreed; however, I come from a school of thought that says to disturb your underwater environment, especially the creatures, as little as is possible. I have wanted to rub their heads forever, but when humans start to interact with wildlife, their behavior inevitably changes and often to its detriment. Still... totally agree with you!!! It's just why I personally don't do it. 😊

[@aydenrodfishing9153]

I love sharks. They are not as aggressive as people think they are. If they attack it is because you really pissed them off or they thought you were a seal or sea turtle. There have been very few cases of sharks actually acting people for no reason. Although just in my opinion I would stay away from great whites, bull sharks, tiger sharks, and black tips as they are the one who if they do attack for some random reason it would be them. 🦈🏝🐠🐟🌊
