Sharks are fish so, like all fish, they have scales. In the case of sharks, these scales are somewhat different in composition, and actually make up a yep of skin. Shark skin is made up of tiny, hard, tooth-like structures known as dermal denticles or placoid scales.

What is the mako sharks favorite meal?

If you ask for THE favorite meal of a Mako, I would guess tuna is in the top of the menu. Specially with mayonnaise.Please note there are several species of Mako Sharks, the shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) and the longfin mako shark (Isurus paucus).Both species are VERY fast swimers (the more common shortfin is one of the fastest fishes in the oceans), and they do not have we can call a gourmet style at the table...They eat everything from the menu - including the menu itself - cephalopods, mackerels, swordfish, other sharks, porpoises, sea turtles, and seabirds.
