Scientists have found that lemon sharks have the ability to learn from each other’s behavior. When comparing the performance of inexperienced juvenile sharks working with both trained and untrained partners, it was found that those working with trained partners could complete tasks more quickly and successfully. The study is thought to be the first to demonstrate social learning in any cartilaginous fish.
