Fast and fearsome, the mako shark is considered the sprinter of the ocean. Thanks to its streamlined body and powerful fins, it can reach speeds of over 70 km/h.
Surprisingly, the mako shark is one of the few sharks to partially regulate its body temperature, allowing it to thrive in both temperate and tropical waters. An agile predator, it feeds on tuna, swordfish, and sometimes other sharks. Its jaws, lined with sharp teeth, visible even when closed, make it one of the most impressive hunters in the sea. Although feared, it plays a vital role in the balance of marine ecosystems.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the mako shark: slender silhouette, mouth full of teeth and realistic details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent spectacular stories or educate children about the diversity and power of sharks.
