Actually a good example of sensationalism

"The fact that it leaped from the water is a strong indicator that it was a Mako, as it is one of only a handful of sharks, including the Great White, to have this ability, and has been known to land on fishing boats as it reaches a height of 20 feet in the air".

What they don't mention is that it is also typical behaviour for harmless basking sharks which we get every year.
