The Shortfin Mako is a species of shark known for its speed and agility, making it one of the fastest fish in the ocean. It can reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) and is characterized by its streamlined body and pointed snout. This shark typically inhabits warm, temperate waters and is often found in both coastal and offshore environments. Shortfin Makos are carnivorous and primarily feed on fish, including tuna and mackerel, as well as squid. They are known for their impressive leaping ability, often breaching the surface when hooked. Despite their speed and strength, they face threats from overfishing and habitat loss, leading to concerns about their conservation status.
