Perfect predator: The mako shark is one of nature's deadliest sea creatures. The beasts can weigh as much as 1,300 pounds and swim as fast as 22mph

The camera is set up facing the back of the boat and puts the viewer in the shoes of the baitfish trailing behind.



A shadow can at first be seen as just a speck in the murky distance. Little by little the size of the beast becomes more clear.

Then like a bolt of lightning, the creature reveals itself: a huge, hungry mako shark.



These intimidating fish are found throughout the Mid-Atlantic and the largest specimens have been found to tip the scales at over 1,200 pounds.
