Happy Shark Week Pop Culture Madness! You are
in for a summer treat. The 23rd Annual Shark Week shows
the apex predator as never before, beginning August 1st
at 9 PM ET on the Discovery Channel. The high-tech,
high-definition cameras enable viewers to see the power of
sharks in ways that were not possible until now.
ULTIMATE AIR JAWS
Sunday, August 1 at 9PM ET/PT
Off the coast of South Africa, massive great white sharks
blast from the water, pulling a sneak attack on their seal
prey. Shark expert Chris Fallows and filmmaker Jeff Kurr (AIR
JAWS, AIR JAWS 2) arrive on the scene to investigate the aerial
attacks using state-of-the-art technology including an HD
camera that shoots in super slow motion – 2,000 frames per
second. This enables the team to slow down a breaching shark
from one second of real time to almost a minute, and in so
much detail you can literally count every tooth in the shark’s
mouth. Fallows and Kurr also employ a submarine and remotely
operated helicopter to capture this incredible footage.
INTO THE SHARK BITE
Sunday, August 1 at 10PM ET/PT
Go where humans don’t dare to in INTO THE SHARK BITE, created
by the producers of Discovery’s TIME WARP series. Watch the
power of a shark bite filmed with the latest high-speed, high-definition
cameras from extraordinary angles – ending up literally inside
the jaws of sharks.
SHARK ATTACK SURVIVAL GUIDE
Monday, August 2 at 9PM ET/PT
In the ultimate immersive survival show, host and Green Beret
Terry Schappert draws on his survival training to show you
ways to stay alive in SHARK ATTACK SURVIVAL GUIDE. He dives
with real sharks to recreate five attack scenarios, drawn
from actual survival stories, to show how these attacks can
happen, and what you can learn to do so that neither you nor
the shark gets hurt.
DAY OF THE SHARK
Monday, August 2 at 10PM ET/PT
Learn valuable lessons from six people who survived shark
attacks in the return of DAY OF THE SHARK, and find out why
they don’t blame the sharks. Hear from a Navy Seal who was
attacked by a bull shark in the murky waters of the Sydney
Harbor while participating in an anti-terrorism exercise,
a fisherman attacked by a pair of bull sharks while standing
in the shallow waters of Breton Sound in Louisiana, a surfer
in Jongensfontein, South Africa, who was attacked by a great
white shark, a vacationer snorkeling at the Great Barrier
Reef in Australia who was attacked by a reef shark and a surfer
attacked by a tiger shark in Oahu, Hawaii.
SHARK BITE BEACH
Tuesday, August 3 at 9PM ET/PT
In 2008, fear gripped beaches along the coast of California
and Mexico in the wake of multiple horrific shark attacks.
SHARK BITE BEACH returns to the site of the attacks to recreate
the dramatic stories of survival and search for clues that
might explain why sharks mistook humans for prey that fateful
summer.
BEST BITES
Wednesday, August 4 at 10PM ET/PT
The BEST BITES host takes viewers on a dive through
some of the most jaw-dropping moments from past SHARK WEEK
specials. With the help of some of our daring shark experts,
