    #1 - Caught! When Sharks Attack

    Loading...
    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.

    #8 - Ultimate Air Jaws

    Loading...
    S23:E1

    Off the coast of South Africa, massive great white sharks blast from the water, pulling a sneak attack on their seal prey. Shark expert Chris Fallows and filmmaker Jeff Kurr arrive on the scene to investigate the aerial attacks using state-of-the-art technology including an HD camera that shoots in super slow motion - 2,000 frames per second. This enables the team to slow down a breaching shark from one second of real time to almost a minute - and in so much detail you can literally count every tooth in the shark's mouth! Fallows and Kurr also employ a submarine and remotely-operated helicopter to capture this incredible footage.

    In the summer of 2008 an unprecedented wave of shark attacks sweeps the eastern coast of Australia. Australian shark experts and fishery managers scramble to understand what is happening.

Will the summer of 2008 be a prelude of things to come?
