The Mako Shark is a fast-swimming species known for its streamlined body and sharp teeth. It belongs to the family Lamnidae and is found in both temperate and tropical oceans. There are two main species: the shortfin mako and the longfin mako, with the shortfin being the more common of the two. Mako sharks are recognized for their impressive speed, capable of reaching up to 45 miles per hour. They primarily feed on fish, including tuna and sardines, and are known for their acrobatic jumps when hooked. Their unique adaptations make them effective predators in the ocean.
