You’re looking - yes, looking - for a group of hungry sharks to spark a feeding frenzy. To attract them, you shoot out hundreds of gallons of synthetic blood and chum. Then watch them lose it.
“We’re seeing these kind of subgroups or clans of white sharks, and we think they might be dominated by a larger female that we’ve termed the Queen Boss, which I love - big female energy coming in here,” says Dixon. “We really just want to tap into the social dynamics of these sharks.” “They just seem still oddly like a monster species from the past,” says Howard Lee, the president of Discovery Networks and TLC. “There’s always something new to learn that has not yet been discovered. There’s even breeds of sharks that we have not always captured.”
“I hope more than anything it can inspire other young women and females to get involved,” says Dixon. “I’m so proud to represent women in this space. I really think that’s important for other women, and especially the next generation of young entrepreneurs and scientists.”
