The fourth episode takes us to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. This was once a penal colony and is now known for its stunning beaches, but also its Tiger Sharks. Nigel travels to this remote location to study the behaviour of Tiger Sharks in their natural habitat, and to observe how they navigate their way through the currents and tides of the open ocean.

The fifth episode of the series is all about the Oceanic White Tip Shark. Nigel travels to the remote island of Saint Marie, which is known for its abundant population of Oceanic White Tip Sharks.
