Shortfin mako shark
The Shortfin mako shark, (''Isurus oxyrinchus''), also known as Blue pointer, is a large mackerel shark. It is commonly referred to as the mako shark together with the longfin mako shark (''Isurus paucus'').〔
==Etymology==
"Mako" comes from the Māori language,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Maori language – a glossary of useful words from the language of the Maori New Zealand )〕 meaning either the shark or a shark tooth. It may have originated in a dialectal variation as it is similar to the common words for shark in a number of Polynesian languages—''makō'' in the Kāi Tahu Māori dialect, ''mangō'' in other Māori dialects,〔 "mago" in Samoan, ''ma'o'' in Tahitian, and ''mano'' in Hawaiian. The first written usage is in Lee and Kendall's ''Grammar and vocabulary of the language of New Zealand'' (1820), which simply states, "Máko; A certain fish".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymology Dictionary )〕 Richard Taylor's ''A leaf from the natural history of New Zealand'' (1848) is more elaborate: "Mako, the shark which has the tooth so highly prized by the Maoris".
In 1809, Constantine Rafinesque gave the shortfin mako the scientific name ''Isurus oxyrinchus'' (''isurus'' means "the same tail", ''oxyrinchus'' means "pointy snout").
