Makos have particularly long teeth, which are not serrated like those of their infamous cousin, the great white, nor are they cusped like those of their relative, the porbeagle.

The Shortfin Mako's teeth are highly distinctive: smooth-edged and - at the front of the jaw, at least - gracefully recurved: the efficient grasping teeth of a fish-eater.

Mako joined them at the age of 15 and studied at the Pratt Institute in New York with plans to become an architect, but a friend's request that he design the sets and lighting for an off-Broadway children's play began a love of theatre.

Mako appeared on screen as the Wizard with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian (1982) and its sequel Conan the Destroyer (1984), and he was a Singaporean in Seven Years in Tibet (1997) with Brad Pitt.
