Did you read their article about the lemon shark? Laughable!
Not only does the site fail to mention the pale yellow skin of the lemon shark, but their page shows a photo of the wrong shark!
Everyone knows what a real lemon shark looks like:
The lemon shark is often mistaken for a lemonhead shark, which was named after Lemonhead® candy in the 1960s.
This is a lemonhead shark:
Someone should fix Wikipedia and correct their shameful errors & omissions about lemon sharks. Until then, I'll be getting my facts about citrus fish elsewhere!
Sourly yours,

Oh that is so cute. really creative.
Very beautiful, I really like what you do.
Ha ha ha!!! Your brain must be full of strange ideas - very very cool!!
I love the bow tie! :-)
Your work is amazing.
Too funny! Love the post and your citrus creatures! It's wonderful that they have such great smiles when they are mis-referenced in our society. Kudos to you for righting this wrong! : )
As always you did not disappoint! Such a cute blog entry... love the homage to Lemonhead!
All right. Dude. You've made some cute things here. But that lemon shark? That is the CUTEST so far. I love those crazy teeth!
(Mmmm . . . I wonder if he'd be sweet and sour inside . . . )
PaisleyJade: I wish my brain had stranger ideas, so thanks for encouraging the production of more strangeness-serotonin! :D
orgucuoyuncakcınine: Your crochet work is beautiful too, thank you!
Thea: Thanks! And please say hi to Bunny for me :)
Anonymous: I appreciate the bow-tie love! That lemonhead mascot is a dandy dresser, isn't he?
Shorty: Yes, we should all stick up for society's mis-referenced victims, especially when they're citrusy and sharky! Thanks for recognizing this important fight! ;D
Maven: It's always fun to pay homage to childhood candy :) I visited a fancy candy store yesterday and asked for Lemonhead candy. The owner hadn't heard of it before, so the sweet search continues!
JenGoPop: haha I'm glad you find the lemon shark cute! MJ says it's scary looking. It kinda reminds me of Bat Boy :)
You're not alone in wondering what a lemon shark tastes like. At the very least, it wouldn't be necessary to add extra lemon to those fish fillets? ;)
Thanks for clearing up the whole lemon shark debarkle. I don't think I would like to eat something as cute as that though, it would be like eating a panda. definately a no-no.
howie, is it true that lemon sharks are distantly related to orange roughy?
This is great, I love it.
Mel Makes Pretty: You're right, critters aren't as appetizing when they're cute. But would you eat a Panda Hot Pocket? I hear they're delicious! ;)
Anonymous: I read that lemon sharks prey on orange roughy fish. And though I don't know any better, I hereby declare that lemon sharks and orange roughy are also related. Does Wikipedia mention that fact? Of course not, those wrongy wrongertons!
Cinthya: Thank you for your citrus love! :)
Yay! Lemonhead sharks!! Hope they move into the gulf down here 'cause I'm going fishin'!!
You are hilarious & clever, as always!!
Miss Julep: If you went shark-fishin', I can imagine you attracting a dozen of them on your hook! You have lemonhead sharks in your future! :D
Is there any chance of a pattern for this lovely? I work at an aquarium (Sadly, no Lemon sharks for us, only Nurse sharks and Sand-Tiger sharks.), and this would make a fabulous gift for my Secret Santa giftee (we start early). If there's no pattern, perhaps for purchase?
Ana: Thanks for your interest! I haven't skipped along the path to writing patterns or selling crochet, but if I do, I'll email you and remember your association with the sharks! Wow, you have a dream job! :)
