During the day,
521
01:17:06,750 --> 01:17:12,590
whitetip sharks are content to
cruise gently around the reef alone.
522
01:17:20,590 --> 01:17:22,400
But when night comes,
523
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:28,440
they're transformed into
hunters working in packs.
524
01:17:35,440 --> 01:17:38,350
In the gloom, the shark's
eyesight is poor.
525
01:17:41,350 --> 01:17:45,420
But they can smell potential
prey from far off.
526
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:49,760
And they have another advantage.
527
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:55,359
A sixth sense, that can pick
up the tiny electrical signals
528
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:58,030
from the heartbeat of
a frightened fish.
529
01:18:01,030 --> 01:18:02,540
And track it down.
530
01:18:08,540 --> 01:18:10,950

is no hiding place.

And the world lights up again.
539
01:20:05,190 --> 01:20:07,600
Some creatures use
their lights for love.
540
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,469
For this male click beetle,
541
01:20:14,470 --> 01:20:20,510
his glowing spots are designed
to impress and attract a mate.
542
01:20:22,510 --> 01:20:25,910
And seeing the glow from this
fungus, he thinks he's found one...
543
01:20:26,910 --> 01:20:27,910
hidden inside.
544
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,720
But the fungus is
playing a trick on him.
545
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:40,230
The glow comes from
the fungus itself.

And gets covered in fungal spores.
549
01:20:57,480 --> 01:21:00,309
He'll spread them
wherever he goes next.
550
01:21:00,310 --> 01:21:05,630
Not reproducing himself, but helping
reproduce the fungus instead.
551
01:21:13,630 --> 01:21:18,310
A light in the dark, can
also be a deadly trap.
552
01:21:25,310 --> 01:21:28,610
In New Zealand, glow-worms
cling to the roof of a cave.
553
01:21:31,610 --> 01:21:35,680
They shine out their strange lights
from within circles of hanging silk,
554
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:37,930
sticky with mucus.
555
01:21:47,930 --> 01:21:51,259

Even when the sun is out of sight,
it makes its presence felt.
