Mako and Whale Sharks Are “Racing” to Help Save Their Fellow Sharks

The Great Shark Race is Back!

It’s a race unlike any other, and it includes some of the fastest competitors (mako sharks) as well as some of the, well, slowest (whale sharks). It’s currently underway – running until July 14, which is International Shark Awareness Day – with the goal to help further key scientific research aimed at saving endangered sharks. And something that’s really cool – people around the world can follow the “racing sharks” ONLINE via the race’s official website.
