Tooth and Claw: Great White Sharks
b'
Adam Hart investigates the most famous and feared predator in all the ocean \\u2013 the great white shark! With rows of large, serrated teeth, it\\u2019s often thought of as a ferocious man-eater and was the villain of the film Jaws \\u2013 which frightened a generation of beachgoers. This star of the silver screen may be the subject of fascination and fright for many, but is it really the ultimate predator of the ocean as Hollywood has led us to believe?
Adam hears what it\\u2019s like to see these sharks up-close and in person for the very first time. He learns more about how great whites detect and hunt their prey, as well as the challenges they\\u2019ve been facing due to another ocean predator.\\n \\nContributors:
