BBC's Shark
I am not a huge fan of nature programs generally but this series is simply incredible!
Extraordinary underwater photography, superb narration and, most importantly, amazing creatures!
- There is a shark that walks! When it is caught out at low tide it simply closes down its organs and walks back to the sea!
- A Camera team got in the sea - no cage - with a load of Great White Sharks. Bonkers you would think. But the team purposely picked out the biggest fish they could find (and thus one that would not be afraid of the humans) and then proceeded to film them literally a couple of feet away. They could tell when the lady shark had had enough and wanted her space back - she dipped her pectoral fins and slightly showed her teeth. That was the cue for the divers to make their leave!
- Some species of shark get their teeth cleaned by little fish they allow in their mouths to get at the food caught in their teeth. The shark slows down by tilting its whole body almost to the vertical and then invites the fish in.....
Amazing.
