One of the highlights of the episode is our deep dive into a shark documentary featuring some truly bold filmmaking choices. We explore the quirky methods used to study sharks, including one filmmaker's decision to sit on a whale carcass amidst a feeding frenzy to get a close-up shot. This daring choice leads to a fascinating and somewhat humorous discussion about shark behavior and anatomy. We learn about the surprising fact that female sharks are often much larger and stronger than their male counterparts, and the unusual courtship behaviors that include the male biting the female's fin. The humor continues as we reflect on the unique job responsibilities of the camera crew tasked with measuring shark anatomy.
