About Whitetip Reef Sharks: Deadly Nocturnal Predators | Free Documentary Nature

Whitetip Reef Sharks: Deadly Nocturnal Predators | Wildlife Documentary With the aid of modern technology, we reveal the unknown behaviour of some unusual species of shark: lemon sharks and their white-tip reef counterparts. Our film trip begins in the Bahamas. To be more precise: in the turquoise-blue waters of the Grand Bahama Bank, in an exactly fixed location. In the spring, 70 - 80 pregnant lemon sharks arrive here. This huge shark population was first discovered just a few years ago by shark researcher, Professor Sam Gruber. Many of the females are tired and rest on the seabed. Pregnant tiger sharks swim in the midst of this group. Without any protection whatsoever, our cameramen shoot their footage, surrounded by sharks and succeed in capturing images hitherto unseen. We continue our journey to Gainesville, Florida, to meet Gordon Hubbell, the leading shark denture expert with the world’s largest shark denture collection. He knows everything about the evolutionary history of the lemon sharks, in addition to those of the white-tip reef variety off Cocos Island, Costa Rica. Here, we encounter large schools

Blue Realm - Episode 8: Shark Divers Sharks are BIG business in adrenaline eco-tourism. And some thrill seekers deliberately pursue close encounters with deadly sharks – without the protection of a cage. The bigger and more dangerous the shark, the better. At Mexico’s Guadalupe Island, guests (including 5 & 7 year old siblings) come face to face with great whites. In the Bahamas, scuba divers pay big bucks to get up close and personal with tiger sharks. But have we taken this risky sport too far? Shark advocates Dr. Erich Ritter and Chuck Anderson have grave reservations about how far we are willing to go for a thrill. And they have intimate knowledge of the subject. Both men were brutally attacked by bull sharks. Shark Divers also examines the controversy surrounding a handful of high-profile attacks in 2008, including the first shark tourist killed while on a shark excursion. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is dedicated to bring high-class documentaries to you on the original video platform for free.

Blue Realm - Episode 7: Shark Nation There's no doubt sharks have an image problem. And they're certainly in trouble globally. The population of some species has declined by more than 90% due to overfishing. But there's still one place in the world where sharks thrive – the Bahamas. Sharks not only prosper there, they are highly protected. It’s illegal to kill them. Stuart Cove's passion is sharks. Travelling In his private plane, he spreads the gospel of shark advocacy across the Bahamian island chain. And shark tourism is his livelihood. A successful entrepreneur, his main business revolves around scuba diving with sharks. Cove also works with Bahamian and international researchers in their studies of dangerous species such as tiger, hammerhead and bull sharks. And it's a family affair. His teenage children are both certified shark feeders! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is dedicated to bring high-class documentaries to you on the original video platform for free.

Blue Realm - Episode 5: Toxic Invaders They’re beautiful - and deadly, with venomous spines that resemble a lion's mane. They’re lionfish, a tropical reef species normally found in the Indo-Pacific. Now, they’re wreaking havoc in the Caribbean and Atlantic – all thought to have descended from a handful of aquarium fish carelessly released into the sea. In these regions, they are potentially a greater threat to coral reefs and commercial fish populations than global warming or pollution. Prolific breeders and aggressive predators, they quickly spread - wiping out native species at an alarming rate. Most fish aren't afraid of them because they've never encountered lionfish in the past. Eradication programs are in place, but they are barely making a dent in a booming population. Handling the prickly invaders can be a daunting task. A lionfish envenomation is one of the most painful wounds in nature. In the Florida Keys, some practical and novel approaches are making progress in the fight against these Toxic Invaders. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is dedicated to bring high-class documentaries to you on the

Playground of the Seals | Wildlife Documentary Some have called the coast of Brittany the Riviera of the North. The many coves with white sandy beaches appear idyllic, but the Atlantic Ocean in the Northwest of France is rarely calm. Several smaller islands can be found offshore - seals have discovered them as ideal places to bear their young. Underwater, the sluggish harbor seals turn into fast and nimble swimmers. They are quite playful and attracted to the submarine camera. Grey seals, bigger than their cousins and with longer heads, are a bit more restrained - but sooner or later, curiosity wins. When mating seasons come, hundreds of them gather on the shallow beaches, and the significantly bigger and heavier - they can weigh over 300 kilograms more - males start vying for their mates, it can be breathtaking. There is a reason that males are so bullnecked. They fight fiercely for their chosen and might receive several vicious bites to the neck in the process. Roughly 100,000 grey seals are living in the eastern Atlantic Ocean today, a welcome
