  • How Sharks Are Built to Hunt

    In this episode of Shark Week: The Podcast, marine biologist and shark expert Luke Tipple answers the burning question: how do sharks jump so high out of the water? And he breaks down the unique ways sharks hunt and navigate using their super-hero sixth sense and how you can put a shark in a trance, a reflex called tonic immobility.  He also dispels the myths that secreting bodily fluids will increase the likelihood of a shark encounter.

  • The Life and Life Cycle of Sharks

    Welcome to Shark Week: The Podcast! Dive in with marine biologist and shark expert Luke Tipple as he illuminates little-known shark facts through the stories of his deep-sea ocean adventures. During this episode, Luke discusses the biology of sharks and the life cycle from mating to birthing – and speculates what a spectacle two hammerheads mating in the wild would be like. As he continues, he examines the details about shark species that can live up to 100 years or longer and how sharks likely evolved into the majestic apex predators they are today.

    Please note that there is a cheeky mention of sharks mating from 4:41 to 5:15 Listener discretion is advised.
