Matt Roush says...
Is skinny dipping at night a surefire way to attract a hungry great white shark? This and other questions are addressed by marine biologist Tom “Blowfish” Hird and predator ecologist Michelle Jewell in a Shark Week special that explores the facts beyond the fiction of Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster Jaws, currently celebrating its 50th anniversary. Followed by Caught! Sharks Strike Back (9/8c), a collection of wild shark videos, and Frankenshark (10/9c), in which shark expert Tristan Guttridge leads a team in a CGI experiment to create an ultimate apex predator.
