13. Lemon shark
The lemon shark (Negaprion brevirostris) doesn’t get enough love. Looking particularly yellow in the above image, the shark’s coloration helps it blend into the shallow seabeds where it forages for food. I like the lemon shark because it reminds me of a sugar cookie: that is, it may seem bland, but it’s an archetype of what to expect (from a shark, not a cookie). Unlike some sharks on this list, the lemon shark doesn’t have any particularly unique characteristics, aside from its skin color. It’s just a classic-looking shark.
