WHAT DO WE REALLY KNOW ABOUT
SHARKS?
WE'RE LIVE WITH A LITTLE TRIVIA.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING.
HELLO.
SO, WE ARE UP AT THE TOP
PART.
THIS REALLY GIVES US A LOOK AT
THE SHARKS.
YOU HAVE QUIZZES FOR US?
YES.
SO, FOR THE SHARKS THAT THE
TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN, WHAT
MAKES HIM SO IMPORTANT TO THE
ECOSYSTEM?
I DON'T KNOW.
NO.
I WAS GOING TO SAY PLANKTON.
I'M NOT SURE?
SO, THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF
JOBS.
THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF JOBS.
THEY BASICALLY CONTROL THE
POPULATIONS OF THOSE MIDLINE
PREDATORS AND THAT MAKE SURE
THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY
PREDATORS TO EAT THE SMALL FISH.
THERE IS JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE FOOD CHAIN STAYS
BALANCE.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS THAT
THEY DO FOR THE ECOSYSTEM IS
THAT THEY HAVE ADAPTATIONS THAT
LET THEM PICK OUT SICK AND
INJURED AND OLD FISH.
THAT ALLOWED THEM TO CONTROL
THE SPREAD OF DISEASES AMONG
FISH POPULATIONS.
IT IS ACTUALLY A WIN FOR THE
FISH AND THE SHARKS.
THEY GET AN EASY MEAL.
HOW DO YOU KEEP THEM RIGHT
THERE?
ARE YOU FEEDING THEM?
I ACTUALLY HAVE A PIECE OF
SQUID AT THE END OF THESE
TONGS.
THIS IS HOW WE FEED THEM.
I WAS GOING TO SHOWCASE SOME OF
THESE SHARKS ABILITIES TO FEED.
ARE YOU READY FOR THAT?
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M PREPARED
BUT, OKAY.
SMELL IS MORE PROMINENT THAN
SITE, RIGHT?
THEY HAVE AN EXCELLENT SENSE
OF SMELL.
PEOPLE SAY THEY CAN SMELL A
DROP OF BLOOD FROM A MILE AWAY
AND THAT IS PRETTY ACCURATE.
THE MOST PROMINENT SENSE IS
ELECTRO RECEPTORS.
THEY SENSE THE MOVEMENTS OF
FISH AROUND THEM.
ALL RIGHT.
CAN WE FEED THEM? YES.
OKAY.
THEY ARE ADAPTED FOR LIFE ON
THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN.
THEY MAKE THESE AWESOME POPPING
SOUNDS WHEN THEY EAT BECAUSE
THEY BASICALLY GET FOOD INTO
THEIR MOUTH.
HOW COME THEY ARE NOT
FIGHTING OVER THE FOOD?
THEY ARE PRETTY CHILLED.
THEY SLIP THE FOOD INTO
THEIR MOUTH AND THAT ALLOWS
