Negaprion
Negaprion is a genus of requiem sharks in the family Carcharhinidae.[2] It contains the two extant species of lemon sharks: the lemon shark (N. brevirostris) of the Americas, and the sicklefin lemon shark (N. acutidens) of the Indo-Pacific. Both species are large, slow-moving, bulky sharks inhabiting shallow coastal waters, and can be identified by their short, blunt snouts, two dorsal fins of nearly equal size, and uniform yellowish brown or gray coloration.

gollark: I'm sure there are libraries for it.
gollark: Just.... use SSH?
gollark: And if you've written the JSON database thing in the way everyone does it, it is opening the file, writing whatever array is in memory to that file, and closing it.
gollark: They create a temporary file, write their buffer to that, and then move the temporary file over the original, so that if they get interrupted in the middle of writing there's less chance of data loss.
gollark: Nope. No good text editor actually works like that.
