Intro

Was in Delaware and saw the fin of the Atlantic mako shark and I swam out of the water so fast, I didn't think twice, just swam away. My mom kept trying to tell me it was a baby dolphin? But obviously had a shark dorsal fin

Up to 55mph actually and they swim all the way round the UK which means they survive in cold waters also
