The mangrove roots provide shelter from larger predators (including larger lemons), as well as plenty of prey fish to practice hunting. • • • #bimini #bahamas #biminisharklab #lemonshark #lemon #mangrove #mangroves #biminisharks #sharkresearch #sharkconservation #ocean #conservation #oceanconservation #oceanscience #savethesharks #sharksdaily #marinebiology #marinescience #freediving #womeninSTEM #womeninoceanscience #uwphoto #uwphotography #underwater #photography #gopro #shotongopro #goprohero9
