One of the best parts about making Sharks: Knights of the Sea was getting to go around the world chasing sharks. One of the special features on the DVD is a tribute to the sharks in the form of a music video. Here's the second half of that video - featuring the Tiger Sharks of Tiger Beach and the Great White Sharks of Guadalupe, plus some other cameos by other sharks in the mix. We hope you enjoy!

As Labor Day arrive, and summer winds down - it's still important to consider the plight of sharks. With that in mind, the SharkTaskForce took our program, Captain Jon's Shark Safari, to a one of a kind day at the Miami Science Museum. The goal was to celebrate sharks, help protect them - and find out more about Megalodon - the shark which makes all other sharks seem pretty small.
