The Mako shark grows to about 11 feet long. It is light blue on the bottom of its body and dark blue on the top of its body, with a pointed nose,and long teeth.
Mako sharks live off shore and close to the surface of the water.
That's why divers consider them dangerous. The Mako shark is very streamlined and has bumps on its tail for traveling quickly through the water. Mako sharks also have sharp teeth for tearing through flesh. The Mako shark will eat anything including large swordfish. One time a large 750 pound Mako was found with a 150 pound swordfish in its stomach, sword and all.
