10. Mako shark
Taking up the 10th spot is the mako shark, a predatory fish that can reach 45 miles per hour (74 kilometers per hour). Its athletics transcend speed alone—the sharks are also known for their ability to leap out of the water, as seen above and in this article. They even eat other sharks, showing their indiscriminate appetite. The mako shark is a terrifying animal, but it can be overlooked for more massive predators (I’m looking at you, great whites).
