Description

Isurus Xiphodon was a very active shark, with enormous strength and great speed. The shark could reach top speeds of more than 77 miles per hour which gives it the position of the fastest animal in the ocean. The secret of such power and speed was its perfect hydrodynamics, its powerful muscle mass, its tail fin in the shape of a crescent and the fact that it is homeothermic, which triples its muscular power, allowing it to also make sudden starts. This combination of strength and speed gives these animals the ability to jump very high out of the water.
