Information
The
Mako Shark is on of the worlds fastest sharks. It can
travel up to 22 miles per hour. Most large Make sharks
are found in colder waters and the mako is at the top
of the food chain in the Atlantic ocean. They are also
great for leaping out of water. Fishing groups go out
trying to catch them to see their great 30 inch jumps
out of water. Makos average 5-8 feet (1.5-2.5 m) long
but can reach 12 feet (3.7 m) long, about weighing 1,000
pounds (450 kg). Mako's are found in temperate and tropical
seas and not in arctic ones. They are deep ocean swimmers
and hunters but they are also found to come inshore
often. Makos diet includes school fish, tuna, herring,
mackerel, swordfish and dolphins. But they are not picky
eaters when hungry and will eat almost anything.
