Shark Attack Experiment "LIVE"

Shark Attack Experiment LIVE,' Scientists Bait Sharks With Bikini-Clad Girls to Study Hunting Patterns

LIVE on 26th Nov @ 10:00 am, 9:00 am BKK/JKT

National Geographic Channel & Nat Geo WILD

Girl. Bikini. Shark. The only thing missing are two notes on a tuba – duhm, duhm – that ominous, iconic indication that "Jaws" is about to turn the water blood red. But here in the shark infested waters off the South African coast, the women are not actresses and the sharks are not movie robots. They are part of a bold experiment to prove that almost everything Steven Spielberg and Discovery Channel's "Shark Week" taught us to fear about the ultimate predator is wrong, and "Nightline" was invited along for an exclusive sneak peek.

About the show

Are sharks out to get you? That’s the driving question behind this high-adrenaline, two-hour live National Geographic event.  Shark Attack Experiment Live will beam from some of the world’s most shark-infested waters off the coast of South Africa. Commonly referred to as “Shark Bay,” it is home to some of the most concentrated and diverse shark populations in the world, including species with a reputation for attacking people, such as great white, bull, tiger, black tip, mako, ragged tooth and blue sharks. Here, a team of free-divers and conservationists put their safety on the line to separate shark attack myths from realities while swimming freely among them.  Also, on location during Shark Attack Experiment Liveare shark attack victims to tell their stories and enter the water for the first time since their traumatic encounters. With experts on hand, these victims will have the opportunity to come close to sharks and finally understand why they may have been attacked.
