About this listen

Have you ever heard about the cookie-cutter shark, which bites out cookie-shaped morsels of flesh from much larger animals than itself? Or the goblin shark, which was thought to have become extinct 100 million years ago until a living specimen was discovered in 1898? And did you know that the whale shark has jaws the size of a 12-year-old child?

The earth is home to over one billion sharks across 500 different species, and there's so much to learn about these ancient rulers of the ocean! With their extraordinary superpowers and senses of sound, sight and smell, these fearsome predators have fascinated humans since well before Jaws. Come along on an exciting expedition with the world-renowned scientist and explorer Tim Flannery and his daughter Emma, as they spotlight some of the world's weirdest and most compelling creatures.

Critic reviews

'It provides lots of fun facts (they've been around for 450 million years!) ... Shark anatomy, their eggs, how sharks mate and the importance of conservation are all important topics covered. The series will be good for libraries, as well as for children who have a passion for specific animals.' (Books+Publishing)
