Three new Shark Week specials feed our fascination with the ocean predators, and in the centerpiece, How to Train a Great White (9/8c), marine biologist Dr. Tristan Guttridge explores the possibility of modifying the behavior of the feared creatures in the same manner that the U.S. Navy was able to train dolphins in cognitive experiments. The evening opens with What Shark Attacked? (8/7c), in which shark experts use forensic methods to investigate shark attacks to identify which species was responsible. In Ultimate Shark Dive (10/9c), high diver Molly Carlson prepares for a stunt in which she jumps from a helicopter into a plexiglass cage surrounded by reef sharks. Look out below!
