    #1 - Caught! When Sharks Attack

    S37:E15

    For the first time, shark attacks are being caught on video thanks to smartphones. Experts analyze these shark encounters to reveal surprising new insights into their behavior and dangerous warning signs. While some shark attacks may result from foolish behavior—such as someone sticking their hand inside a live shark—the reality is we swim beside sharks every day without even realizing it.

    #2 - Shark-Croc Showdown

    S30:E3

    Dr. Mark Meekan and conservationist Paul de Gelder go on an expedition to one the sharkiest places in the world - a remote wilderness called the Cobourg Peninsula in the Northern Territory of Australia. Meekan is there to count sharks and species as part of Vulcan’s Global FinPrint project – Paul de Gelder’s going because he heard that sharks and crocs fight over sea turtles out there. What happens when 14-foot crocodiles move into shark infested waters? That’s what they’re going to find out! Produced by Big Wave.
