Narrator: HURRY UP AND DOCK YOUR BOAT
BECAUSE IT'S TIME FOR "THE DAILY BITE!"
ON TODAY'S EPISODE, TWO GUYS HANG OUT ON A SUNKEN SHIP
IN SHARK-INFESTED WATERS.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
PLUS, SHARK SUPERLATIVES
AND SOME OF THE GREATEST SHARKS OF ALL TIME.
IT'S "THE DAILY BITE!"
YELLO! AND WELCOME TO "THE DAILY BITE!"
DID YOU GUYS SEE "SHARK TANK" ON SHARK WEEK LAST NIGHT?
THEY WOULDN'T LET ME ON, BUT IF THEY HAD,
I WOULD HAVE PITCHED THEM ON THE MOST GENIUS IDEA EVER.
IT'S A SNORKEL FOR CATS SO I CAN TAKE WHISKERS DIVING WITH ME.
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT MY FLUFFY PRINCESS.
IT'S TIME FOR THE SHOW!

TIME FOR MY SHOW.

"SHARK WRECKED"!
IN TWO MINUTES, THIS BOAT IS GOING TO EXPLODE.
HOW MUCH ARE WE WILLING TO PUT OURSELVES IN HARM'S WAY?
YOU AIN'T GOT TO BLOW UP YOUR ONLY WAY OUT.
THAT'S LIKE GETTING A RENTAL CAR AND DRIVING INTO THE 'HOOD
AND THEN GOING, "YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GONNA SLASH MY TIRES."
THIS COULD GET ROUGH REAL QUICK.
WOW. PAUL IS SO BRAVE.
HE'S LOST AN ARM AND A LEG TO A SHARK.
ALL I LOST WAS HALF OF MY RENT TO MY EX-BOYFRIEND,
AND I NEVER WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN.
TUNE IN FOR "SHARK WRECKED."

Narrator: REEF SHARKS BECAME WORLD-FAMOUS FOR ONE THING --
THEIR LOVE OF SLEEPING.
THESE ARE THE FIRST AND ONLY SPECIES OF SHARK
THAT ARE KNOWN TO SLEEP ON THE OCEAN FLOOR
OR WITHIN REEF CAVES.
BUT LYING MOTIONLESS ACTUALLY TAKES MORE ENERGY
THAN BEING ACTIVE.
A SWIMMING SHARK BREATHES AUTOMATICALLY
AND WITHOUT EFFORT, AS WATER FLOWS THROUGH ITS GILLS.
BUT A STATIONARY SHARK MUST LABORIOUSLY PUMP WATER
TO CONTINUE BREATHING.
REEF SHARKS DON'T SEEM TO MIND.
REEF SHARKS HAVE BEEN CAUGHT SLEEPING ON TOP OF EACH OTHER
IN PILES AS LARGE AS 20 SHARKS TALL.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THEM THE MOST LIKELY TO GET CAUGHT SLEEPING.

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF A SHARK'S BODY MASS IS MUSCLE?
35%, 70%, OR 85%?
85%.
I WANT TO SAY 85%. OKAY, I TRUST YOU.
I'M GOING WITH 85%.
70%.
I'M GONNA GO WITH 85%
'CAUSE THEY'RE JUST A BIG PACK OF MUSCLE, I THINK.
THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH.
WHAT DO YOU THINK MINE IS?
UH...
DON'T GIVE TOO GOOD A LOOK.
ARE WE DOING 50/50?
I'M MUSCLE AND, LIKE, COOL HAIR.
DANG.
THERE ARE THREE -- COUNT 'EM -- THREE THINGS IN THIS WORLD
THAT I LOVE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
ONE, NUMBERS. TWO, LISTS.
THREE, SHARKS.
THIS NEXT "SEG" COMBINES ALL THOSE THINGS.
IT'S 30 YEARS OF SHARK WEEK'S TOP SHARKS.
LET'S GO!
I'M ON TEAM HAMMERHEAD.
Narrator: CURLY IS 18 FEET OF PURE BITING MACHINE.
Man: OH!
WITH A FORCE OF NEARLY TWO TONS PER SQUARE FEET,
IT SAWS OFF HUNKS OF FLESH THE SIZE OF TRASH CANS.
SON OF A...GUN!
THE MEGAMOUTH...
UNTIL 40 YEARS AGO, NO ONE EVEN KNEW THIS GIANT OF THE SEA
EXISTED.
SCIENTISTS DESCRIBED IT AS AN ALIEN COMING OUT OF THE DEPTHS.
Narrator: WHEN IT OPENS ITS HUGE JAWS,
BIOLUMINESCENT GLOW AROUND ITS LIPS
LURES KRILL RIGHT INTO ITS MOUTH.
YOU CAN REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT A SPECIALIZED PREDATOR
THESE ARE.
THEY'RE JUST FINELY TUNED FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
IN WHICH THEY'RE FEEDING IN.
THIS IS A SMALL ONE,
AND I THINK I MIGHT FIT IN ITS MOUTH.
