Jaws of the Pacific DVD

The great white shark, once thought to prefer only coastal waters, is now believed to make trans-oceanic crossings. Analyzing data collected from satellite transmitters attached to a group of sharks, researchers have discovered that the great white makes incredible long-distance migrations across the Pacific – traveling up to 43 miles a day.Join a team of scientists as they set out to track these killers in the hope of answering one question: Just where are these sharks going? Begin in the great white's hunting grounds off the coast of northern California – here, sharks gorge themselves on seals and sea lions with regularity. From there, they plunge into the ocean – reaching depths of up to 2, 000 feet – only to resurface again in the coastal waters of Mexico, where the predator has a notorious legacy as a man-eater. But, the sharks' journey is far from over – after an epic trek across thousands of miles of turbulent ocean, they finally settle in the calm, warm waters of Hawaii. Satellite data reveals the islands to be a pit stop for the long-ranging sharks. Could this be the hidden location of their much sought after birthing and mating grounds? Historical experts reveal evidence of the sharks' presence through the ages in the artifacts of ancient islanders, while modern researchers posit theories for the creatures' Hawaiian vacation – they may be attracted by abundant schools of tuna, spinner dolphins, humpback whales and even the rare Hawaiian monk seal. Marvel as modern technology uncovers one of the deepest secrets of this impressive creature and brings you closer than ever to the sea's most feared predator.
