Woman: SHARK WEEK BECAME
A CULTURAL PHENOMENON
WORKING TO CHANGE
THE NEGATIVE PERCEPTION
PEOPLE HAD OF SHARKS
AND SPARK CURIOSITY
ABOUT SHARKS AROUND THE WORLD.

IN 1988, AT THAT TIME,
PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY GOOD SHARK
WAS A DEAD SHARK.
NOW IT'S GETTING BETTER
AND BETTER BECAUSE I GET TO SEE
A LOT OF EPISODES THAT ARE
JUST FOCUSED ON SCIENCE,
AND IT IS REAL SCIENCE.
Woman: BY PROVIDING A REAL,
NUANCED PICTURE OF THE ECOSYSTEM
THAT SHARKS BELONG TO,
SHARK WEEK HELPED SHED THE IMAGE
OF THE EVIL, AGGRESSIVE MONSTER
AND HELPED REPLACE IT
WITH AN ACCURATE DEPICTION
OF A CREATURE IN PERIL.
ARE GREAT WHITE SHARKS REALLY
MINDLESS KILLING MACHINES?
WELL, WE FOUND OUT
THAT, NO, THEY'RE NOT.
THEY'RE SELECTIVE, CURIOUS,
AND INTELLIGENT ANIMALS.

THE BOTTOM OF THE BOAT THERE
AS SHE CRUISED UNDERNEATH.
IT'S INCREDIBLE
TO BE SHARING A MOMENT
WITH SUCH A SPECIAL ANIMAL
LIKE THIS.
♪♪
UNBELIEVABLE.
Woman: IT'S BECAUSE OF
THE PUBLIC'S NEWFOUND OBSESSION
OF THESE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
THAT SHARK WEEK BECAME
A TESTAMENT TO WHAT'S POSSIBLE.
WE HAVE LOST A LOT OF GREAT
SEALS OVER THE YEARS...
MOSTLY DUE TO
IMPROPER TRACKING TECHNIQUES,
ILLEGAL FISHING PRACTICES,
AND -- JUST A RUMOR --
SOMETHING INVOLVING
THE DAVE MATTHEWS BAND.
BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHARKS EAT
THOSE LITTLE SUCKERS FOR LUNCH!
LET'S TAKE A LOOK NOW
AT SOME OF THE GREAT SEALS
WE'VE LOST THIS YEAR.
