I'd love some lemon shark facts 💛
Lemon Shark or Negaprion brevirostris
They get their name from their yellowish brown coloring. Lemon sharks, unlike the lone-shark stereotype, enjoy hanging out in groups! They even have preferred individuals to hang out with!
Lemon sharks are also one of the most well-understood shark species and this is because they do well in captivity. Additionally, most of our knowledge of shark physiology and biology stems from studies of lemon sharks!
Unfortunately, this species is nearly threatened; this is mostly due to overfishing. They're not only caught as bycatch, but are a target for some fisheries. Their meat, skin, and squalene are used for human consumption. It's estimated that between 70-90% of shark squalene harvested each year is used in cosmetics. (Make sure to do your research before buying makeup). To harvest the amount of squalene used for our consumption, almost 3 million sharks are killed every year. But there's a great new alternative source that's gaining traction: olives!

Damian and the pets reaction to finding Alfred the cat with illegal catnip?
[in the barn]
Alfred the cat: *drags a pouch in*
Bat-Cow: What is that?
Alfred: Catnip. It's medicinal.
Titus, opening the bag: Why is it glowing?
Alfred: Those are the medicinal properties.
Ace: Have you been seeing Dex-Starr again? I told you, that cat is bad news.
Haley: Who's Dex-Starr?
Alfred: Not relevant. Just help me hide it before our human sees.
Bat-Cow: How about inside the haystack?
Ace: No, it's from a Red Lantern. It could catch fire. Under the floorboards, perhaps.
Alfred: Absolutely not. I was instructed to keep it away from damp environments.
Haley: Why does it matter? Doesn't Damian let you have catnip?
Alfred: Catnip is fine. Damian doesn't want me being around Dex-Starr.
Haley: Why?
Alfred: It's complicated. Are you gonna help or not?
Titus: I know, Goliath! We can hide it under his bedding.
Alfred: Great idea.
Jerry: *squawks*
Alfred: That's Jerry's signal. Damian's coming. Act natural.
Damian, entering: I thought I would find you here. Titus, your bath has been drawn.
Damian: *looks around*
Damian: What's going on?
Alfred: Uh... meow?
Damian: *shrugs and leaves with Titus*
Alfred: Phew, that was a close one. Remember, guys. What happens in the barn, stays in the barn.
[meanwhile in Metropolis]
Krypto, who was listening: Adding that to the blackmail file.
Jon: What is it, boy?
Krypto: Uh... bark?
Jon: *shrugs and goes back to texting Damian*

Jason: Due to the nature of my vocabulary, many of you have expressed concern that I might receive consequences enforced by a certain Bat.
Jason: *glares at Bruce*
Jason: However, I can assure you I am perfectly safe, because what’s he going to do? Ground me? He already let me die once, I just crawled right back again.
