When scientists attempt to study prehistoric sharks, they typically only find their teeth. Since the teeth are the only fossil records, they are left to imagine what these creatures looked like. In this episode, host Emily Graslie highlights some of the teeth of prehistoric sharks. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.

Biologists and anthropologists at The Field Museum are studying weaponry to discover the distribution of Central Pacific sharks from more than 100 years ago. Various weapons in the collection have the unique feature of being studded with shark teeth. In this episode, host Emily Graslie discusses the findings and implications from examining the weapons in the collection. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
The ocean is full of various species of sharks and rays. In this episode, host Emily Graslie takes a look at some of the more unique examples of these fish. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
In each episode, viewers are given clues about a hidden animal inside a magic box. Can viewers use all the clues to correctly identify this apex predator that lives in the ocean? Part of the "Zoobabu" series.
What do wild animals do when we're not around? Find out with National Geographic's Crittercam. Safely worn by wildlife, Crittercams capture video, sound, and other information, giving students rare views of the private lives of animals. Crittercams help to solve scientific mysteries by providing an animal's eye view. And what scientists learn from Crittercams helps them protect the very animals that wear them. In this episode, scientists hope to learn more about the sharks' foraging behavior and where they spend their time.
Sharks have been swimming the ocean for 400 million years. But today, many species of sharks are in deep decline due to overfishing and shark finning. A healthy ocean needs sharks. Thankfully awareness of their importance is growing. Part of the "Endangered Ocean" series.
Part of "The Living Oceans" series. Reveals the hunting habits of the ocean's deadliest predators: sharks. Captures the mating habits of hammerhead sharks and the hunting habits of blue sharks, six-gilled sharks, sand-tiger sharks, and white-tipped reef sharks. Explores the great white shark hunting seals and sea lions near the Farrallon Islands, explaining that the bloodthirsty animal culls out animals that are weak or ill.
Basking sharks are the second largest shark in the ocean, and NOAA scientists are using the latest technologies to study them. The scientists capture and tag the sharks in an effort to study their movements and preferred habitat. Part of "The Science Behind" series.
Join Dr. Dominique as she journeys to Mexico on a shark research expedition with world famous conservationist Guy Harvey. She goes diving with Guy to help him study the fastest shark in the water, the mako. Part of "The Wildlife Docs" series.
Norvin is a good actor and a terrific swimmer, but he has a face that looks like a shark. He uses his acting talents and a fake fin to scare swimmers out of Caramel Cove so he can have it all to himself. He is so convincing, he eventually finds himself the love object of a female shark. Animated version of the book by Margaret Mahy.
With funding from the National Science Foundation, Peter Ungar is revealing more details about the lives of human ancestors, and he’s doing it through dentistry. The University of Arkansas anthropologist uses high tech dental scans to find out more about the diets of hominids, a technique that sometimes leads to new and very different conclusions. While anthropologists traditionally determine the diets of our ancestors by examining the size and shape of teeth and jaws, Ungar's powerful microscopes paint a more detailed picture by looking at wear patterns on teeth.
Discusses how animals use their teeth and horns for protection and survival. From the Kool Books series narrated by Hector Bonilla.
Teófila lives in the sea and catches sharks with her father and uncles. From the Kool Books series narrated by Hector Bonilla.
Dr. Chris climbs to new heights in search of Canada’s perfect view. Then, he dives in and swims with grey nurse sharks. Next, he gets a mud bath courtesy of a baby rhino and searches for the elusive platypus. Finally, he gives it everything he’s got to compete in a tropical race. Part of "The Open Road With Dr. Chris" series.
In this series, explorers travel the diverse and natural sanctuaries of the Gulf of California. Each episode highlights the fauna and flora of this region. Some of the locations visited include Revillagigedo Islands, the Espíritu Santo (Holy Spirit) National Park, and Cape Pulmo. Part of the "Inside the Sea" series.
How do braces make teeth straight? They actually just copy the process that the rest of bones naturally undergo. Part of the "Science Out Loud" series.
A mysterious killer is lurking in the steely waters off the east coast of Canada. Scientists are baffled by all the corpses on the beach. The seals bear bizarre spiral wounds which have led to one theory that one of the most elusive of all sharks is responsible, the Greenland shark. Scientists from the Canadian Shark Research Laboratory and the Apex Predator Program in the United States will try to solve the puzzle of the dead seals once and for all. Please note: this title shows images of animal corpses and shark attacks on seals.
Venomous animals have evolved a variety of mechanisms that deliver toxins to would-be predators and prey. Curator Mark Siddall discusses some of the anatomical features these venomous animals have adapted.
Marvie is so excited to show the new video she found. It is about Seanna, the shark, and her underwater friends. Part of the "Marvie" series.
