The mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus), also known as the shortfin mako, is one of the fastest fish in the ocean, capable of reaching speeds of up to 45 miles per hour (72 km/h). This speed, combined with its agility, makes the mako a formidable predator, preying on fish such as tuna and mackerel as well as squid. Found in temperate and tropical oceans worldwide, makos are streamlined and built for efficiency, with a pointed snout and powerful tail fin.
Known for their ability to leap out of the water, makos are highly sought after by sport fishers and are a frequent subject in marine research due to their impressive physiology. Despite their prowess, they face threats from overfishing and habitat degradation, making conservation efforts critical for their survival. These sharks are also known for their role in maintaining oceanic ecosystems as apex predators.
