The shortfin mako is often hailed as the fastest shark in the ocean, but is it truly the speed champion? Let's dive into the depths and uncover the truth behind this exhilarating predator's speed prowess.  Joshua Schellenberg https://www.facebook.com/joshschellenbergtattoo | Diving Specials Shop | Facebook

Considered the fastest species of shark in the world, shortfin mako sharks are built for speed. They have a hydrodynamic, torpedo-shaped body with a pointed snout and large, black eyes. Found globally in temperate and tropical seas, their population has declined rapidly due to overfishing. They are also caught accidentally as by-catch by fisheries targeting their preferred prey species, tuna and swordfish. 🎥: @lukesaddler #saveourseasfoundation #makoshark #mako #conservationvideography #builtfo
