Sharks

Notice the handler has his hands full

This lemon shark was circling me, just an arm's reach away

Usually found buried in the sand

Nurse sharks are very tame

See my teeth!  This was taken from about a foot away from the shark, with a fisheye lens

There are 19 reef sharks in this picture, but there were a total of 32.  they ranged in size from about 3 feet to over 6 feet.
