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
