Bitten by a baby Lemon shark

It took many hours of sitting perfectly still and waiting patiently for these juvenile Lemon sharks to come and interact with me. When they eventually came over, the slightest movement from me would scare them off. After circling me for ages they would eventually come closer and occasionally head butt me or whack me with their tails and on one occasion actually tried to test bite me to see if I was food. (I literally lost a hair follicle and that is all. It was not a successful or aggressive bite) Once they realised that I am not food or a threat they would come in closer and search for the source of the fish scent that is coming from a small piece of fish placed inside a perorated water bottle, then eventually a loose piece of fish placed directly in front of me.
