Built like torpedoes, sharks possess an extraordinary physiology that includes incredibly developed sensory organs and a set of jaws whose extensibility, power and teeth are unrivaled in the animal kingdom. This world premiere special exposes the truth about the world’s most efficient marine predator through an examination of shark attack case studies and first-hand accounts, including: a man who battled for his life in a struggle to free himself from the grasp of a bull shark’s razor-sharp teeth; a surfer who was attacked by a 20-foot great white; and a young boy who fought free from an attack. The program delivers real information on how to avoid or survive a shark encounter, and joins forces with shark experts to reveal the science and psychology behind shark behavior patterns, explaining how sharks select their prey and why shark attacks occur.
