Summary of National Geographic's The Sharks
One of the most famous programs from the National Geographic Society, THE SHARKS takes you on a special expedition to study these fish of fearful legend and challenge the myths surrounding them. Journey below the ocean's surface in a specially-designed cage to observe sharks at close range. Witness as Ron and Valerie Taylor, underwater filmmakers, test a mesh stainless steel suit which enables her to survive a shark attack. Meet these living symbols of terror face-to-face and learn the truth about these remarkable creatures.What does a 12,000-pound whale shark eat? Anything it wants--fortunately, plankton will do nicely. National Geographic's The Sharks takes us from Australia to the Red Sea to check out these fish with attitude and the scientists who study them. Sharks' reputation as man-eaters is certainly overstated--fewer than 10 people are killed by them each year--but the daring of the researchers sometimes seems to approach lunacy. Terrific footage of divers petting "sleeping" tiger sharks, teasing great whites from within dive cages, and testing metal-mesh suits by submitting to multiple attacks are riveting and simply scream out, "Don't try this at home!" But ultimately the scientists emerge mostly unscathed, more knowledgeable, and less fearful. In fact, we see the tables turned in Japan, where commercial shark fishermen are highly efficient and turn out meat, leather, and medicine for an eager market. Hey, sharks have been around millions of years longer than we have; pick up this video and learn the seven habits of highly effective carnivores. --Rob Lightner
