Better off with a great white or a mako?
We told you it's a strange question. Both species are indigenous
to the waters off New England. It’s like wondering if it would be
better to drown in 100 feet of water or 200 feet of water. The mako
can hit 30 knots, is visually keen with those giant eyes, and can
sever any type of flesh with those spiked teeth made for impaling
bluefin tunas. In comparison, the great white is like a lumbering
school bus. It’s only trick is that it can shoot up from 40 feet
beneath the surface like a Saturn V rocket with a nose cone
bristling with steak knives.

The Great White Shark, or... Mr. Tuxedo, if you will.
But seriously, despite the fact that we’ve succeeded in decimating
so many of the world’s shark populations (in some cases due to
activities as shameful as slicing off shark fins to make that
“delicacy” known as shark fin soup), encountering a shark while
swimming is still most people’s worst nightmare. Maybe that’s
the reason we’re so fascinated by sharks and other predators of
the deep. To read more about sharks and other fish, go to
Underwater Times, link above in the box.

The Shortfin Mako Shark, nature's closest thing to a torpedo.
If answers to questions like this keep you up at night (instead
of more mundane things like how will you line up an interview,
or squeeze in a car inspection next month) you might be
interested in visiting Underwater Times, a compilation of news
stories about sharks, fish, crocodiles and more.
