TV Show: Shark Men

Fox News: Swimming With 'Shark Men'



This show is brought to you by National Geographic;

In the second season opener, the Shark Men head to the rocky, barren Farallon Islands off the coast of San Francisco. The National Marine Sanctuary, which oversees all activity in the area, has granted the Shark Men the first-ever permit to hook a great white shark at the Farallones for research, with the caveat that a sanctuary observer be onboard. Their first catch does not go smoothly, and the crew must eventually release the shark with part of the hook still caught in its throat.

New home for tigers in africa on an old sheep farm

There's a new show on National Geographic called Tiger Man of Africa: The Mating Game. Here is an extract:

A seemingly impossible dream: to create a new population of wild tigers outside their natural habitat. One man, John Varty, did just that. Starting with two young, zoo-born tigers, Varty now has more than 15 tigers at his Tiger Canyons reserve, and has used ever-present cameras to document two years of their lives. Whether mating, birthing or hunting, Varty shows these magnificent tigers with remarkable, up close and personal detail.
