Fascinating encounter with Lemon shark and Bull sharks off Walker's Cay, Bahamas (00003045)

Lemon shark and Bull sharks hunting for food in the Bahamas

Description: The Lemon shark (Negaprion brevirostris) and Bull sharks are spotted hunting in the shallow waters off Walker's Cay, one of the 700 islands of the Bahamas. These dangerous shark species are both fascinating and impressive. Bull sharks, also known as common ground sharks, can survive in freshwater and can be found in various waters such as lakes and rivers in Africa, Central, and South America. With their stout appearance and self-confidence, they are a sight to behold. Lemon sharks are nocturnal and prefer shallow coastal areas. They are slow-growing predators that mainly feed on bony fish and mollusks, but can also hunt smaller sharks, rays, and seabirds. Their potential danger to humans makes them fascinating yet awe-inspiring sea creatures.
