They are yellow with sharp teeth, and resemble tiger sharks.


Like regular Snaggles, they leap out of the water at regular intervals, but will make a quick additional leap right afterwards without any warning. They appear in the [[Beach]] world, and in some other levels, including [[Damp Dungeon]]. They can only be defeated by being struck with a [[barrel]]. If the [[Kong]]s are snatched by a Yellow Snaggles, they will lose a heart from their health meter. Yellow Snaggles make dog noises when they jump out of the water, just like their relatives.

===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' and its Nintendo Switch port, Yellow Snaggles are only encountered underwater, where they chase after the [[Kong]]s. As such, they no longer jump out of the water. They are found in [[Shoal Atoll]] and [[Panicky Paddles]]. Yellow Snaggles can be defeated with [[Cranky Kong]]'s underwater cane attack or by throwing a projectile at it, such as a [[barrel]], a [[Watermelon Fuse Bomb]], or a [[Tuff Tucks]], while on land.


In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', Yellow Snaggles chase the Kongs through the water, much like their relatives do. Unlike standard Snaggles, which post themselves in a specific spot while the Kongs are above, Yellow Snaggles will try to keep track of the characters even when they are above the water, although without being able to jump out. These enemies can only be defeated with a swipe of [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]]'s cane. Attacking a Yellow Snaggles with a [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|corkscrew]] move will not affect the enemy, and will result in the Kongs getting damaged instead.
