The Elusive Leaping Shark | Searching for Cryptic Creatures


Listen Later

Join Ranger Rosie Holdsworth to uncover the mystery of the leaping shark.  
On a boat off Cornwall, wildlife guide Jenny spots a huge animal she’s never seen before jumping out of the water.  But what exactly has she witnessed?   

Across the world in Florida, shark-obsessed Dr Molly Kressler sets off on a mission to discover more about what is beneath the calm of the surface. More than that, she wants everyone else to be able to get to know and love creatures of the deep too.

For incredible views of the Cornish coast, why not visit Trevose Head? Jutting out into the Atlantic, you can see for miles. Shark sightings not guaranteed (but possible!)  

Special thanks to Dr Molly Kressler and Jenny from Padstow Sea Life Safaris.
