Can any shark experts out there identify this species? It can't be very big or the aquarium is much larger than it looks in the photo.

Which one shall we eat for dinner?

Not sure about exact shark species but could be a lemon shark. They don't grow big and are harmless. Reason why they are often used in exhibits where a diver enters a tank.

Just look at the wonder & excitment on the little girls face. That alone makes this picture special.

It's deathly hot in the city, they're not looking at fish.. they're wishing they were in that nice, cool tank.
