True Predators: A Real Understanding of White Sharks Off California

The word "shark" brings visions of JAWS, shark attacks, and breaching sharks to mind. The truth is far from this fiction-white sharks are not mindless attack animals, far from it. They're incredibly complex and fascinating linchpins for the dynamic marine ecosystems off the California Coast.

White sharks have incredible offshore migrations and precise navigational abilities. They show complex courtship displays and behaviors. The past 30 years of science has redefined our understanding of these predators and their critical role for a healthy marine system.

Join Taylor Chapple as he explores the truth about white sharks during this special Science Sunday-turning the conversation from fear and apprehension to one of true awe and appreciation.
