What's more private than sex?

At the heart of

Sharks may be passionate,

But he's got competition.

While the first male clamps
down on one of her fins

To get her attention,

His rival grabs the other.

The female can't escape
this whirlwind romance.

These aren't just love bites;
they can be deep and painful.

Fortunately,
she has thick skin--

Twice as thick as the males'--

And it heals quickly.

Whitetip shark love isn't

The biggest body count of all,

hunting techniques

Of a shark that doesn't

Nighttime belongs

In the maldives,

When the full moon shines
over the indian ocean,

The world's largest fish
surfaces for a feast.

Zooplankton,
microscopic critters,

Dance by the light of the moon.

Cousins of the shark.

But the rays quickly scatter

When the guest of honor
arrives.

Rising from a depth
of 3,000 feet,

The whale shark, big and hungry
as a busload of teenagers,

Can weigh 20 tons.

With his almost

He advances,
filtering the plankton

And expelling the water
through his gills,

1,500 gallons an hour.

♪ ♪

Unlike other sharks,
the whale shark's mouth

Is in front of his head
rather than below it,

For more efficient filtering.

Whale sharks have
300 rows of tiny teeth,

But they don't use them to eat.

He needs to slurp down one ton
of tiny zooplankton a day,

Which means he kills
more than any other shark.

So they use the power of
numbers and hunt in groups.

Like many sharks,
they sense their prey

By feeling pressure waves

These sharks live in
the arctic's icy waters

And are as old
as marine dinosaurs.

The nearly 14-foot sharks

Grow no more than
half an inch a year,

And could live for 400 years.

Not only is a greenland shark
one of the oldest sharks,

It's also probably
the slowest fish in the sea.

If she chases you,
simply walk away.

Her maximum speed is slower
than the average human gait:

Three miles an hour.

And yet she manages
to catch seals,

Probably ambushing them
while they sleep.

Her hundred or so teeth
work like a knife and fork.

Her upper teeth grasp the prey

While the lower ones
slice its flesh.

As if things weren't
complicated enough,

A parasite has latched
onto her eye,

Condemning her to
centuries of blindness.

It's a small consolation
that her tiny tormentor's glow

Helps the greenland shark
attract prey.
