There are two species of lemon shark, which is distinguished by the sickle shape of its pectoral fins.
It is a shark quite slow and quite "nice", You can easily approach and photograph it. It is rather irascible and can turn against you if you do not eat too much.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
