Fast and formidable, the mako shark is considered the sprinter of the oceans. Thanks to its streamlined body and powerful fins, it can reach speeds of over 70 km/h.

Amazingly, the mako shark is one of the few sharks that can 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 jaw, lined with sharp teeth visible even when closed, makes it one of the most impressive hunters in the seas. Although feared, it plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems.

This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the mako shark: its slender silhouette, toothy mouth, and realistic details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent spectacular stories or raise children’s awareness of the diversity and power of sharks.
