Fast and fearsome, the mako shark is considered the sprinter of the ocean. Thanks to its streamlined body and powerful fins, it can reach speeds of over 70 km/h.
Surprisingly, the mako shark is one of the few sharks to partially regulate its body temperature, allowing it to thrive in both temperate and tropical waters. An agile predator, it feeds on tuna, swordfish, and sometimes other sharks. Its jaws, lined with sharp teeth, visible even when closed, make it one of the most impressive hunters in the sea. Although feared, it plays a vital role in the balance of marine ecosystems.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the mako shark: slender silhouette, mouth full of teeth and realistic details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent spectacular stories or educate children about the diversity and power of sharks.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
