There are currently two known living [[species]] in this genus: the [[Lemon shark]], and the [[Sicklefin lemon shark]]. Both species are large and stocky, have a wide, blunt snout, and have two large [[dorsal fin]]s of similar size. They are both yellowish-brown on their dorsal surface, and have a white belly. They also both have a similar diet consisting of [[bony fish]], [[crustacean]]s, [[stingray]]s, and smaller [[shark]]s. Also, both species are [[viviparous]]. == Lemon shark== The Lemon shark is the smaller of the two species, reaching a maximum length of 3.4 metres, but usually ranges between the lengths of 2.4 to 3 metres long. Pups are around 24 to 26 inches long when born. The Lemon shark inhabits [[tropical]] and [[subtropical]] shallow waters of [[coastal]] areas of the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] and [[Pacific Ocean]]. It is often found in [[coral reef]]s, [[mangrove]]s, enclosed [[bay]]s, and even [[river]]
