Sharks!
About
Smooth, fast, four hundred million years old. One shark at a time, brought close enough to look at without getting wet.
Episodes
1. The Great White: Top of the Food Chain
The most famous shark in the sea isn't quite what the movies say. Meet the great white: its enormous body, its hidden senses, the trick that lets it sneak up from below, and the truth about why it almost never hunts people.
2. Hammerhead: The Strangest Head in the Sea
A hammerhead shark has the strangest head in the sea. Find out why that wide, flat head is really a hunting tool, how it lets the shark see almost all the way around itself, and why scalloped hammerheads gather in huge swirling schools.
3. The Whale Shark: The Biggest Fish in the Sea
Meet the whale shark — as long as a school bus, heavier than an elephant, and built to eat creatures smaller than a grain of rice. The biggest fish in the sea turns out to be the gentlest.
4. The Greenland Shark: Slow and Cold
Far below the Arctic ice, a giant gray shark glides through near-freezing water in no hurry at all. Meet the Greenland shark: slow, nearly blind, almost invisible in the dark, and quite possibly the longest-living animal with a backbone on Earth.
5. The Tiger Shark: Striped Hunter
A tiger shark cruises a warm reef at sundown. Follow its slow, patient hunt — and meet the curved, saw-edged teeth that can crack a turtle's shell.
6. The Goblin Shark: A Living Fossil
Far below the waves, where sunlight cannot reach, drifts the strangest shark of all. The goblin shark has pink skin, a snout that can feel electricity, and a jaw that shoots out of its face to catch prey. Meet a living fossil from the deep dark sea.
