Mako, built you are for speed
Sleek dynamic awe
Everything so beautiful
All except your jaw

Quite simply the shortfin mako is built for speed. Over 400 million years of evolution, it has developed specific adaptations giving it the edge over all other sharks. With a conical snout like a bullet, small pectoral and dorsal fins, and a slim, but muscular streamlined body, the shortfin mako is built like a torpedo
Awesome! Hope I never meet you, Mako.

I believe this shark features in Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.
