Dive into Shark Week on Discovery

Andrew Buckle,

The pop culture phenomenon, Shark Week – a 24×7 channel takeover with new premieres every night – returns to Discovery Channel from November 27 with even bigger sharks and record-breaking breaches.

Discovery Channel is the preeminent destination for shark programming, working with nearly two dozen of the world’s most respected marine biologists and science institutions. This year’s celebrities include Jackass, Tracy Morgan and the kings of hidden camera pranks – The Impractical Jokers.

Premieres kicking off at 7:30pm AEDT every night of the stunt week include:

Raging Bulls

Bull sharks are one of Australia’s “Big 3” deadly shark species, and recently, there’s been a shift in their behavior concerning the human population. Paul De Gelder joins Johan Gustafson to uncover why these sharks are becoming more aggressive hunters.

On this expedition, wildlife conservationist and biologist Forrest Galante travels to some of the most remote and deadly waters in the world facing pirates, jungles, storms, snakes, crocs, and of course, sharks – to track down, discover, and document new science, behaviors, and even species.
