Meet the Sharks is an interactive adventure that lets you explore some of the ocean's most incredible shark species: the great white, hammerhead, whale, blacktip, and tiger shark.
Click on each illustrated shark to watch an exciting educational video from state-of-the-art BBC productions like Blue Planet and Deadly 60. Then click on each shark's name to uncover a fun fact about what makes that species unique — from extraordinary senses to surprising behaviors to mind-blowing adaptations.
Whether you're meeting these amazing fish (that's right — sharks are fish!) for the first time or already know a thing or two about sharks, this interactive experience is a fun way to discover how each species has adapted to life in the ocean. Dive in, explore, and see which shark becomes your favorite!
What predator can burst through the ocean at nearly 40 miles per hour, replace thousands of teeth during its lifetime, and help keep marine ecosystems healthy? The answer may surprise you.
Separate fact from fiction as you dive into the world of the great white shark. Discover the incredible adaptations that make it one of the ocean's most successful hunters, from powerful jaws and razor-sharp senses to stealthy hunting strategies. You'll also learn why great white sharks are essential to healthy oceans and how conservation efforts are helping protect this iconic predator.
It might feel odd to say you’re happy to see a shark, but that was the case for three divers for an environmental charity. The team was clearing lost fishing nets from a wreck (What? That’s not on your chores list?) when they spotted a great white shark swimming right past them. The group was far offshore between Sicily and the Tunisian coast, so there was no reason to alarm beachgoers splashing around at the beach, but the sighting was still a big deal.
Due to factors like heavy fishing and nets that accidentally catch sharks, great white sharks in the Mediterranean are critically endangered, and sightings like this one may be the push that governments need to create marine protected areas.
In Great White Sharks vs. Cape Fur Seals, seals head out to sea. As they swim, they must get past great white sharks, apex predators that are waiting to throw their weight around to capture a seal snack. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
Sharks rule the oceans in every shape and size — from the stealthy great white slicing through the surf to the tiny glow-in-the-dark dwarf lantern shark hiding in the dark. But how much do you really know about these incredible ocean predators?
Packed with jaw-dropping facts, surprising adaptations, and a few deep-sea curveballs, this quiz dives into the remarkable world of sharks. Only the most fearless ocean fans and shark-savvy explorers will ride the wave to victory.
Dive into the incredible world of sharks with this thrilling BBC Learning Hub playlist! From the sleek and powerful great white to the gentle giant whale shark and the uniquely shaped hammerhead, these videos showcase the beauty and mystery of the ocean's most iconic predators. Perfect for sparking curiosity and a little shark-inspired awe in your classroom! 🦈
