IUCN Status: Endangered

Mako sharks are apex predators that help regulate the populations of smaller fish and squid, ensuring a balanced ecosystem. By preying on weak or sick individuals, they contribute to the overall health of marine species and maintain the stability of the food chain.

Fun fact: Mako sharks are the fastest in the ocean, capable of swimming at speeds up to 60 miles per hour!
