Willy Volk captured this shot in the Bahamas. Theses sharks are called 'lemon sharks' and despite their dangerous look, lemon sharks are actually very docile creatures and swim among divers for hours without even a sideways glance. in the Bahamas. The shark in the foreground was coming by to check things out, and the shark in the background must've wanted his portrait taken, too.

Lemon sharks have powerful jaws and several rows of triangular, curved teeth. Lemon sharks use these long, thin, extremely sharp teeth to hold and catch slippery fish, which are the main diet of these wonderful sharks.

Willy Volk: "Other than that, they're really nice fish…"
