Into the Darkness

S1, E3: By day and or night, sharks rule our oceans. However, what exactly do they do when the sun goes down? Our two research teams are on a mission to uncover the mysteries of shark behavior after dark. In K’gari, Dr. Bonnie Holmes and Dr. Johan Gustafson aim to attach an activity tag on a bull shark from the shallows at night, one off fishing lines from the beach and another from the reef flats in their small inflatable boat. At Dangerous Reef, Dr. Lauren Meyer and professor Charlie Huveneers are attempting a world-first: to deploy an activity tag on a white shark in South Australia so they can monitor its movements and behavior after dark.
