Pacific angelsharks are not what you would call, the fastest swimmer. Much like rays, the pacific angelshark glides along the bottom of the ocean, but can give quick burst of speed when need be. A pacific angelshark's prey can swim faster then the shark itself.

Can you explain how you got that?

Thresher sharks can swim at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour (48 kilometers per hour) in short bursts. They use their long tail fins to stun and capture prey, such as small fish and squid.

Will there ever be a boy born that can swim faster than a shark?

It is highly unlikely for a human boy to be born with the innate abilities to swim faster than a shark. Sharks are incredibly fast and efficient swimmers, adapted for life in the water in ways that humans are not.


What is the fastest shark and how fast can it swim?

The Shortfin Mako is the fastest species of shark. It's speed has been recorded at 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph) with bursts of up to 74 kilometres per hour (46 mph). They can leap approximate 9 metres (30 ft) high or higher in the air. Some scientists suggest that the shortfin mako can swim up to 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph), though scientists are still in debate over exactly how fast the shortfin mako shark can swim. This high-leaping fish is a highly sought-after game fish worldwide. There are cases when an angry mako jumped into a boat after having been hooked.


How do you scare a shark away?

To scare a shark away, you can try making loud noises by banging on tanks or using a noise-making device. You can also try to maintain eye contact with the shark and slowly back away if possible. Using a shark repellent device or a shark shield can also deter sharks from approaching.
