“The World's Fastest Shark Against The World's Fastest Killer Of Species" - 🔵Maestro's Notes: Known for it's exhilirating bursts of speed clocked at about 74kph, the Short Fin Mako Shark is no match to the rate MAN, "The Self-Proclaimed Ruler of This Planet", is decimating his and his cousins species all over the world. With shark products present in almost all our everyday products, from lipstick; lotion; creams; placebos (food supplements with no therapeutic claims); petfood; farmed animal feed and that innocent can of tuna on man's dinner table, the world continues to turn a blind eye. That factor alone keeps greedy businesses alive because there are people who continue to ignore their impact on this planet and keep on purchasing and consuming shark products. If you're into economics, it follows the simple "Rule Of Supply and Demand". • This incredible footage of a Short Fin Mako Shark was filmed on location in South Africa courtesy of Marine Conservationist, Underwater Wildlife Photographer and Videographer, Good Friend, Steve Woods @steve_woods_photography - Here is a little behind the scenes clip from yesterday. We had 3 or 4 beautiful Shortfin Mako sharks investigating us for nearly an hour. We also had numerous Blue Sharks and huge Yellowfin Tuna. • The shortfin mako is the fastest species of shark. Its speed has been recorded at 40 km/h (25 mph), with bursts of up to 74 km/h (46 mph) allowing it to jump to heights of approximately 9 m (30 ft). These characteristics have made the shortfin mako a highly sought-after game fish worldwide. Some cases of shortfin mako jumping into a boat after having been hooked have been reported. The shortfin mako is currently classified as Endangered by the IUCN, having been uplisted from Vulnerable in 2019 and Near threatenedin 2007. The species is being targeted by both sport and commercial fisheries, and there is a substantial proportion of bycatch in driftnet fisheries for other species. In June 2018 the New Zealand Department of Conservation classified the shortfin mako shark as "Not Threatened" with the qualifier "Uncertain whether Secure Overseas" @maestro320 (at South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx78tvFFq0B/?igshid=1umf1qoo46eq9
