Negaprion is a genus of requiem sharks (Carcharhinidae) known as lemon sharks. It contains 2 extant species, the lemon shark (N. brevirostris) of the Americas, and the sicklefin lemon shark (N. acutidens) of the Indo-Pacific. Both species are large, slow moving, bulky sharks that inhabit shallow coastal waters, and can be identified by their short, blunt snouts, two dorsal fins of near equal size, and uniform yellowish brown or grey coloration.
