The Mako Shark

The Mako Shark, known as the speed demon of the ocean, is a sleek, beautiful creature with a torpedo-shaped body and a long, pointy snout. This deep-blue and white shark is the fastest shark in the ocean, able to swim at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. Did you know they can even leap out of the water? With teeth sharp as razors, they love to snack on fish, squids, and even other sharks. But don't worry, they typically stay far away from humans!
