But then we saw the clear mackerel like markings of a Mako. A big Mako!
Phillipe Gallabert, our roving correspondent floating around and over the East Indian Ocean tropics, sent in this series of pics he shot in the Comores.
Unfortunately for Mako Sharks, as vicious and as fast as they are, they taste really good – much like a marlin. And so fall foul of the apex predators that inhabit these islands and tropical areas. As the coastal populations grow chasing the tourism dollar, protein becomes a big problem and the sea life in these areas suffers directly.
Thanks Phillipe!
