Another aquatic special from PBS, this one on sharks:

Sharkland
Airs Sunday, May 06, 2007

In a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Southern Africa, a unique pattern of warm and cold currents brings together an astounding variety of sharks. Nearly 150 species of all colors, shapes and sizes gather there - including pajama sharks, leopard cat sharks, seven-gill cow sharks and the great white.

In 1975, a gigantic great white shark began to terrorize the world. But Hollywood has nothing to compare with the waters off the tip of southern Africa, one of the sharkiest coasts on Earth. Roughly 140 different shark species of all shapes, sizes and dispositions hunt here, brought together by a pattern of warm and cold ocean currents unlike anywhere else on the planet. NATURE swims with leopard cats and coppers, the speedy mako, the great white and many others when Sharkland premieres Sunday, May 6 at 8 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings). Academy Award-winning actor F. Murray Abraham narrates.
