Lemon Shark Jaw

The jaws of a lemon shark are designed to eat fish. The bottom teeth are skinny and pointy to grip the thrashing fish while the top teeth are serrated and efficient at cutting flesh. Lemon sharks depend on mangroves for the survival of the first 5-8 years of their lives. Mangroves are disappearing throughout the world and the fate of the lemon shark is left in the balance. We need to get proper protections for the world's mangroves and then enforce them.
