  • I finally found a Mako shark with my drone! This brief episode was filmed in the Sea of Cortez. The area is known for Mako sharks but they are quite elusive to find.

    It always fascinates me how much display of energy the Makos embody, even when they're not hunting but just swimming casually, they still maintain a high pace and high energy movement that is seldom found in most larger sharks. To always be so active and paced is something to behold.

    These videos help in a very particular way. I'm used to being out in nature and have seen wolves and bears (both black and grizzly.) Never seen a mountain lion, but have 'heard' one at nite (a very scary sound.) However - they are wild animals that I actually admire, and they have never bothered me. These shark videos remove the atavistic terror that these fish have inspired since "Jaws" in 1973. They can be viewed as simply an aquatic version of leopards or lions or what have you. Please continue to create these films.

    So great seeing a Mako! Other kinds of sharks tend to get a lot of the focus ie Great Whites, Orcas, Tigers (especially Emma!!), Hammerhead and more recently, Whale Sharks but we don't hear much about Mako's. Thanks for sharing a glimpse of this beauty!

    Had a Long Fin Mako take my Tuna off the Coast of The Big Island of Hawaii many years ago ,, I only wish we had cell phones back then to video it was an amazing site , after it took a chunk we hauled the rest onto the boat and started cutting it up and pretty much tossed chunks into it mouth as it just stayed around the entire time No Fear it’s eyes we’re mesmerizing 🤙🏻🌴

I recently found a web page from the California Fish and Wildlife Department that says that the short fin Mako grows to around 19 feet. I want to know what your or anyone’s opinion is on this information. Again thanks for this rare gem.
