Shark Gifts

Well-known species such as the great white shark, tiger shark, and the hammerhead are apex predators, at the top of the underwater food chain.

How High Can Sharks Jump?

How High Can Sharks Jump?

It is uncommon for a shark to jump out of the water. However, some sharks, like blacktip sharks, are known to make spinning leaps out of the water while attacking fish. There have also been cases of sharks jumping regularly, like a certain great white that leapt to heights of 10 feet. However, the shortfin mako shark appears to hold the record; they can leap over 30 feet in the air. There are even cases when an angry shortfin mako shark jumped into a boat after having been hooked.
