Synopsis
Program 1: Sharkland - Nature takes you to one of the sharkiest coasts on Earth. In the frigid waters and temperate seas around Southern Africa, you will find 140 different species of sharks, many of them normally found oceans apart. These sharks have many different requirements for survival, but here, they live side-by-side. How can this be? One of Nature's finest hours introduces many of these unique animals-the huge, but harmless whale sharks, and predators like the fearsome "lion of the ocean," the Great White, fifteen-foot-long tiger sharks, swift short fin makos, and the sand tiger shark, one of a surprisingly large number of cannibalistic members of the animal kingdom, in which sibling rivalry reaches murderous extremes. Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham narrates.
Program 2: Supersize Crocs - Crocodiles of any size instill fear in most people. But crocodile conservationalist Romulus Whitaker's fear is that the most colossal of these creatures that outlasted even dinosaurs might no longer exist. Driven by the discovery of a twenty-one foot crocodile skin in New Guinea, Whitaker sets off on a remarkable hunt to find the last of the leviathans. Venturing to Ethiopia's Lake Chamo, the riverbanks of India's northern border with Nepal, and to the Adelaide River of the Australian outback, Whitaker searches for evidence of the existence of supersize crocs, and shares his fascinating insights into their world. Will he find his supersize croc among the three titans of the croc world: the Nile Crocodiles, Saltwater Crocodiles and Gharials? Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham narrates.
