Today, we will be taking you on a natural history of 450 million years, where we will encounter some of the most bizarre, fearsome and wondrous creatures the world has ever seen.
We will encounter not only the sharks themselves, but their immediate relatives - rays, sawfishes, skates and guitarfishes.
Starting from the very first sharks, right up to the modern day, we will observe deep-dwelling leviathans, sharks with scissor-like mouths, giants that were known to prey on whales, and, surprisingly, some of the smallest and strangest animals that ever roamed the waves. Join us now, on an oceanic voyage of prehistoric sharks.
