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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dr. Chris embarks on an underwater adventure where he dives through a cavern to reach a unique spot teaming with vibrant fish and sharks. Then, he races alongside a pod of dolphins, and he even tries his hand at singing with them. Finally, Dr. Chris comes eye to eye with humpback whales. Part of "The Open Road With Dr. Chris" series.
The team settles in for a month on the Great Barrier Reef, the largest reef in the world. One scientist is studying sharks, while another group explores the northern portion of the reef. The team discovers bleaching and severe die-off among corals at the reef. Part of the "Global Reef Expedition" series.
Part of "The Living Oceans" series. Reveals the habits and behavior of night-spawning coral, manta rays, lobsters, white-tipped sharks, cuttlefish, Humboldt squid, and opalescent squid. Shows the mysteries of ocean ecology in the annual spawning of coral, the molting of lobsters, the feeding habits of sharks and cuttlefish, and the deadly attacks of squid. Captures the death of thousands of opalescent squid as they lay their eggs, and then die in vast numbers.
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.
Teófila lives in the sea and catches sharks with her father and uncles. From the Kool Books series narrated by Hector Bonilla.
The scientists will explore the color spectrum and explain why humans cannot see the whole spectrum. They will also create a solar oven using aluminum foil. Part of the House of Science Series.
Sea turtles, salmon, and sharks sometimes travel the width of the ocean to return to their "breeding ground" to reproduce. With funding from the National Science Foundation, Biologist Ken Lohmann at the University of North Carolina -Chapel Hill studies the role magnetic fields play in these long distance migrations. In his lab he's done behavioral studies, manipulating environmental cues to see how young turtles respond to even small changes in magnetic fields.
In this special episode, host Jeff Corwin dives alongside brave men and women of our armed forces who were injured in the line of duty. As these wounded veterans experience the wonder of Georgia Aquarium and swim alongside giant whale sharks, they also find the strength to heal. Jeff makes new friends, listens to heroic stories, and reminds us all to never forget the people who keep our country safe.
Norvin is a good actor and a terrific swimmer, but he has a face that looks like a shark.

Animated version of the book by Margaret Mahy.
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.
