National Geographic Sharks
Great White Odyssey
S1 E5:
The great white shark: an animal of myths and legend. All the earth's oceans are home to these fearsome predators, yet the movements of these intriguing beasts have remained largely an enigma until now. Now, National Geographic journeys on a deep-sea expedition with world-renowned shark experts Michael Scholl and Ramon Bonfil as they tag a 12-foot great white they call Nicole-named for shark-lover and actress Nicole Kidman. Nicole is lone female who takes them on an epic journey across an ocean seething with threats to her survival. Driven by overpowering natural instincts, Nicole navigates icy cold waters, dives to unfathomable depths, battles hunger and fatigue, outsmarts some of the ocean's most lethal inhabitants and ultimately travels 6,000 nautical miles in 99 days, the fastest trans-oceanic migration recorded for any fish. Experience her world up close through her eyes and senses-a world full of wonder, mystery and danger.
