Belly of the Beast: Feeding Frenzy

Matt Roush says...

Just when you thought it was safe to settle in front of your TV … Shark Week returns for its 36^th deep dive into all things fin-related. The weeklong stunt begins with a return engagement for one of last year’s most popular specials. New Zealand provides a new location for cameraman Kina Scollay to be joined by marine biologist Dr. Austin Gallagher and marine scientist Liv Dixon as they embed inside the belly of a 29-foot whale decoy. What better way to get a first-hand look at a feeding frenzy among 18-foot “breeder” sharks. Three more specials follow: Jaws vs. Leviathan (9/8c), also featuring Scollay, joined by marine specialists to recreate epic battles between orcas and Great Whites; Makozilla (10/9c), which captures the search for a massive predator off the California coast; and Sydney Harbor Shark Invasion (11/10), in which shark conservationist Paul de Gelder returns to the scene of his own 2009 shark attack, in which he lost his right hand, to investigate a fatal Great White shark attack near Australia’s Sydney Harbor.
