'Great White Danger Zone' explores life of Great White Sharks in Cape seas
The documentary also shows some 'fascinating insights' about the 'definite decline of Great White Sharks.'
Lester Kiewit speaks to Dr Alison Towner, Marine Biologist: Rhodes University and South African International Maritime Institute (SAIMI).
Discovery Channel’s 36th annual Shark Week is where to get your daily dose of apex-predator action, ranging from horror stories to fascinating adventure tales, delivered straight from the Discovery Channel — with the help of this year’s host, WWE legend John Cena.
'Great White Danger Zone' is the doccie up next that everyone's talking about.
The series, which premiered recently and shot during the pandemic, goes behind-the-scenes of how marine biologists studied the behaviour of White Sharks in the waters off of Struisbaai, using cameras which were attached to the dorsal fins of sharks.
You'll spend 42 minutes underwater with the predator facing 'anticipation, anxiety often faced when confronted with Great White Sharks.'
The documentary also shows some 'fascinating insights' about the 'definite decline of Great White Sharks.'
"It was quite novel and fascinating to see... we have absolutely seen a decline of Great White Sharks... there is proof that shows white sharks have abruptly disappeared from the aggregation site as soon as orcas came in. They're not going to stick around and be preyed upon so they move away and away..."
