Isurus Glaucus

Isn't there another species of mako called Isurus glaucus? I thought there was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.97.102.214 (talk • contribs)

There used to be but it is now called Isurus oxyrinchus, i.e. short fin mako. --Stefan ^talk 00:34, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Skin

I think I heard somewhere that their skin has a special texture and helps them move fast in the water. 72.155.50.42 (talk) 00:10, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Picture

I think it would be better to find pictures with living specimens instead of the dead sharks. Can someone modify it?Citizen of the USA (talk) 01:35, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

removing Behavior section

The Behavior section is just an advertisement for a TV stunt conducted by Discovery Channel. It does not give any useful information at all about the normal behavior of these animals. The section is already tagged for its lack of supporting references; since the section as it exists now would be inappropriate even if it did contain references, I am going to remove it.--Jim10701 (talk) 01:20, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

World Record Shark caught

There was a world-record mako shark caught this week. Someone posted about it on this page. I didn't feel it fit (probably should be somewhere in the shortfin mako shark page, if anywhere), but here is the sentence I removed from the article: Jaardon (talk) 05:21, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

• On June 3, 2013, Jason Johnson from Mesquite, Texas caught an 11-foot-long mako shark, weighing in at 1,323.5 pounds off Huntington Beach, California, which could be a world record.

Moved to right place, thanks. Kennvido (talk) 06:06, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

No Isurus hastalis?

Just noticed that this species isn't listed here at all...why is that? --82.11.180.235 (talk) 06:12, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Warm blooded?

Watching shark week and the hosts said that they were warm-blooded. Is that true?141.156.187.235 (talk) 02:23, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
