Fat dog's WEIRD, WONDERFUL AND UNUSUAL COLLECTABLES MAKO SHARK TOOTH FOSSIL |
As one of the fastest sharks in the ocean, this powerful shark can attain burst swimming speeds of up to 50 km/h and can leap clear of the water to heights of up to 6 meters. These qualities have made this species a sought after sport fish. The shortfin mako can grow to lengths of 3.9 meters. There is still some uncertainty about its life-span, but it is suspected to reach ages of between 11-23 years. |
