Alopias superciliosus, commonly known as the longfin mako shark, is a species of shark found in warm and temperate ocean waters worldwide. It is characterized by its elongated body, long pectoral fins, and a pointed snout. This shark can grow up to 4 meters (13 feet) in length and is known for its speed and agility, making it one of the fastest shark species.
The longfin mako primarily feeds on fish, including tuna and sardines, and is known for its impressive leaping ability when hunting. It is a pelagic species, often found in open waters, and is considered a vulnerable species due to overfishing and habitat loss. Conservation efforts are underway to protect its populations.
