The Sharks

About

One of the most famous programs from National Geographic, 'The Sharks' takes you below the ocean's surface to observe sharks at close range, from Australia to the Red Sea. Check out these fish with attitude and the scientists who study them. Watch terrifying footage of divers petting "sleeping" tiger sharks and teasing great whites from within dive cages. Then meet the fearless Ron and Valerie Taylor, who experiment with a stainless steel mesh suit by submitting to multiple attacks. In Japan, experience a day in the lives of commercial shark fishermen who turn out meat, leather, and medicine for an eager market. Meet these living symbols of terror face-to-face and learn the truth about these creatures of the deep.
