Welcome yo!
Hola! my name is Anita and my organism is the Blue Pointer, or more commonly called Shortfin Mako Shark. The Mako Shark lives in Tropical offshore waters with a depth of about 490 feet. They are found all over the world but mainly in the Western Atlantic. These amazing Sharks mostly feed on Tunas, Mackerels, Swordfish, Sea turtles, Seals, Bonitos, and other Sharks. As frightening as they might sound, they are one of the most interesting creatures in the world.
