Mako vs Black tip




The Mako shark and the Black tip reef shark are both predators of the ocean, and they both eat bony fish. The Mako is built for speed, agility and can grow to 13 ft, 1,750 lbs. The black tip can grow to 5.2 ft and can weigh up to 25 lbs. They live in tropical coral reefs while the Mako's live in the gulf and Canadian waters. Makos have long slender smooth teeth while the black tip's teeth have serrated edges with a smooth base.
