LOOK WHO COMES CRAWLING BACK.
IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER
"DAILY BITE."
ON TODAY'S EPISODE,
"SCIENTISTS CLOCK A MAKO."
PLUS, WE PUT YOUR "SHARK WEEK"
KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST.
AND THEN WE TOP IT ALL OFF
WITH PANCAKES.
WHAT COULD BE BETTER?

"BLOODLINE: THE SPAWN OF JAWS"
TONIGHT AT 9:00.
NOW YOUR HOST, JORDAN CARLOS.
WELCOME TO "THE DAILY BITE."
WHOO, I'M SORRY I'M SO SWEATY.
I JUST WATCHED "SHARKWRECKED"
LAST NIGHT,
AND MY HEART RATE IS STILL --
WHOO, PALPITATING.
NEXT TIME I'M OUT AT SEA,
REMIND ME NOT TO BLOW UP
MY OWN BOAT.
NOT A GREAT IDEA.
OKAY.
I'M CENTERED.
LET'S START THE SHOW.
Narrator: MAKO SHARKS...
SOME BELIEVE THEY COULD BE
THE FASTEST SHARKS ON EARTH.
BECAUSE SCIENCE HAS BARELY
SCRATCHED THE SURFACE
OF THE MAKO SHARK'S
TRUE CAPABILITIES...
UNTIL NOW.
♪♪
A TEAM OF SHARK-RESEARCH
SCIENTISTS
ARE LAUNCHING
A COMPREHENSIVE NEW STUDY
INTO THE SECRET LIVES
OF THESE AMAZING PREDATORS.
GREG AND HIS TEAM WILL USE
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
TO PROVE JUST HOW FAST
THEY REALLY ARE.
THIS IS THE SHARK EYE.
IT ATTACHES TO THE DORSAL FIN,
AND IS EQUIPPED
WITH FRONT-FACING
AND REAR-FACING CAMERAS.
BUT THE KEY FEATURE
IS A BUILT-IN SPEEDOMETER THAT,
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,
WILL CLOCK THE TOP SPEED
OF A MAKO.
NOW THE DEVICE WILL FIT FIRMLY
ON ITS LARGE DORSAL FIN.
Man #1: CAREFUL, JASON.
Man #2: GET IT AS FAR FORWARD
THIS TIME AS YOU CAN.
OH, NO.
OKAY, THAT'S GOOD.
SHARK EYE IS HOT, GUYS.
WE'RE FREE!
WE'RE FREE!
OH, THERE HE GOES.
THERE HE GOES. THERE HE GOES.
-THERE HE GOES! THERE HE GOES!
-IT'S GOING.
-YEAH!
-GOD, THAT'S AWESOME.
-ALL RIGHT.
-YEAH!
-COOL.
-AWESOME, DUDE.
-ALL RIGHT.
-GREAT JOB.
-BEAUTIFUL!
-THAT'S AWESOME
Narrator:
OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS,
THE SHARK EYE WILL RECORD
EVERY BURST OF SPEED.
SOON, THE WORLD WILL KNOW JUST
HOW FAST THESE SHARKS CAN GO.
THE SHARK-EYE SENSORS CLOCKED
MULTIPLE BURSTS OF SPEED,
TOPPING OUT AT AN INCREDIBLE
42 MILES PER HOUR.
THE GREATEST MYSTERY
OF THE MAKO SHARKS IS,
WE JUST DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THEM AND WHAT THEY DO.
SO THIS IS SOME OF
THE GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH
WHICH WILL SHED LIGHT
ON THOSE BEHAVIORS.
Narrator: ALTHOUGH MUCH REMAINS
A MYSTERY ABOUT THE MAKO SHARK,
ONE THING IS CERTAIN.
THESE POWERFUL,
YET GRACEFUL PREDATORS...
ARE RULERS OF THEIR DOMAIN.

Narrator:
THE MEGAMOUTH SHARK IS A RARE
SPECIES OF DEEP-WATER SHARK
THAT IS SELDOM SEEN BY HUMANS.
ONLY 61 SPECIMENS
HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED.
THE MEGAMOUTH IS UNIQUE FOR ITS
LARGE HEAD AND RUBBERY LIPS.
BUT UNLIKE MOST OTHER SHARKS,
IT IS A SLOW SWIMMER
WITH AN AVERAGE SPEED
JUST UNDER ONE MILE PER HOUR.
THIS IS SMALL ONE, AND I THINK
I MIGHT FIT IN HIS MOUTH.
ITS SLOW SPEEDS AND PATTERN
OF VERTICAL MIGRATION
ARE TAILORED TO ITS DIET
OF PLANKTONIC ANIMALS.
OFTEN TRAVELLING ONLY ONE MILE
IN A DAY, IT IS NO SURPRISE
THAT THE MEGAMOUTH
IS OUR SLOWEST SWIMMER.

SO, WHICH OF THESE FISH
IS ENDANGERED --
BLUEFIN TUNA,
SEA BASS, OR MACKEREL?
TUNA.
YEAH, I'M GONNA
GO WITH THE TUNA.
SEA BASS.
I WOULD SAY THE TUNA.
YOU ARE CORRECT.
WHY DO YOU THINK
THE BLUEFIN TUNA IS ENDANGERED?
OVER-FISHING?
OH, YOU NAILED IT!
I'M PLANNING TO GO, UH,
ON THE WAY BACK,
GET SOME SPICY
TUNA ROLLS.
NO, DON'T DO THAT.
NO, NO.
NO, DON'T DO THAT.
LIONS GO, "ROAR,"
CATS GO, "MEOW,"

"YUM-YUM"

"MEGALODON:

DID I ONE TIME CRY JUST THINKING

YOU TELL ME.
IT'S A FACT!

I'M SORRY.
I GOT TO KEEP IT TOGETHER.
WHOO!
