Sharkfest

NAT GEO WILD, 15–21 JULY 2019

Across seven days, dive in to the underwater world of our oceans’ mighty apex predators. Follow blacktips and spinners as they gather around a sardine bait ball and start to feast; discover the gruesome cannibalistic traits of some species, such as lemon sharks; and learn more about the work of marine biologists in the Pacific as they study human-shark interactions and sharks’ impact on coral reefs. While some elements are perhaps a touch over dramatised (doing little for sharks’ bad reputation) there are plenty of interesting facts about biology, evolution and behaviour revealed along the way.
