In the tenth episode of Shark Week season 2020, viewers are taken on an exploration of one of the most deadly creatures in the ocean - the great white shark. The episode is titled "Great White Serial Killer Extinction" and it delves into the mysterious disappearance of great white sharks along South Africa's coast.
Marine biologists and shark experts have noticed a sudden decline in great white shark populations around the South African coast. The apex predator is vanishing at an alarming rate, and this has created a lot of concern, especially since they occupy a critical place at the top of the food chain.
Through groundbreaking scientific methods that have never been tried before, this episode takes viewers on a journey of discovery to find out what is happening to great white sharks, which have roamed the oceans undisturbed for millions of years.
Experts use various clues to try to unravel this mystery, including studying the behavior of juvenile great white sharks and DNA analysis of their prey. They also investigate why previously popular great white shark feeding areas have become barren.
As they delve deeper, they come across an intriguing theory that genocide against great white sharks could have been launched by a series of merciless attacks by an unknown predator that has come to be known as the "Serial Killer."
The team's quest to unravel this mystery brings them into contact with some of South Africa's finest wildlife and oceanographic scientists who have developed new, more reliable methods of tracking great white sharks and conducting DNA analysis of their prey to identify and trace the killer's victims.
As the scientists investigate animal remains found in the Shark Bay region, they discover a pattern of wounds that suggest an unusual predator - one that could well be the reason behind the serial killing of great white sharks.
A further clue is found a long way from South Africa, in Australia, where scientists discovered a pattern of injuries that matched those found in the Shark Bay region.
This information raises suspicions that this serial killer is not limited to South African waters, but is also a threat to great white sharks in other parts of the world.
The Shark Week episode also looks to raise awareness of the important role that great white sharks play in the ocean's ecosystem when they are threatened by human intervention.
The episode is both riveting and informative, and viewers will gain new insights into the behavior of great white sharks and the threats they face. "Great White Serial Killer Extinction" is an excellent installment in the Shark Week series, and it is sure to leave viewers with an even greater appreciation of these amazing apex predators.
