- Synopsis:
Dive beneath the surface and get up close and personal with one of nature's most fearsome predators. Join Discovery for a series of action-packed programmes examining one of nature's most extreme predators. For decades this monster of the sea has fascinated and terrified in equal measure. Since 1965, when Steven Spielberg's movie 'Jaws' hit cinemas and became a box office success, the image of the 'Great White Shark' as a man-eater has been ingrained in the public's mind and shows no sign of disappearing. In this shark-infested collection, fisheries scientist Greg Skomal spends six months following five Great Whites to understand more about them, Survivorman Les Stroud explores the eating habits of five of the most dangerous sharks in the sea, we hear from those who have been attacked by a shark in the wild and lived to tell the tale and legendary shark hunter Frank Mundus tries to get to grips with this awesome creature at the tender age of 78. Then, in a jaw-dropping finale, a team of experts attempt to find out how and why the Great White goes airborne to capture its prey. Witness the force of nature as Air Jaws captures the astonishing moment this one-ton colossus of the ocean explodes out of the water like a missile and, within seconds, devours its target. - Actors:
