Description: Experience the breathtaking world of lemon and blacktip sharks up close! These fascinating marine creatures are on the prowl for food in the shallow waters of Shark Point in Walker's Cay, the northernmost of the Bahamas. Lemon sharks can grow up to three meters in length and mature slowly. It takes 12-15 years for them to reach sexual maturity, and their reproduction rate is low. Lemon sharks primarily feed on bony fish and mollusks, but they also prey on small sharks, rays, and seabirds. Nocturnal and coastal dwellers, they can even tolerate fresh water for short periods. Immerse yourself in the world of these captivating marine creatures!
