WELCOME TO "THE DAILY BITE,"
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE OTHER DAILY BITE,
WHICH IS FOR DENTISTS, AND I HEAR 4 OUT OF 5 APPROVE.
RIMSHOT!
RIMSHOT.
SFX.
Butters: WELCOME, WELCOME.
IT'S A MERE 14 DAYS TO "SHARK WEEK,"
AND ON TODAY'S EPISODE, WE'VE COOKED UP A GREAT ONE.
WE FIND OUT THE BIGGEST THREATS TO THEIR ENVIRONMENTS
AND MORE YAMANEIKA VISION, JUST FOR YOU.
THIS IS "THE DAILY BITE."
TECHNOLOGY HAS ADVANCED A LOT OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HOW SOME OF IT
HAS EVOLVED HERE ON "SHARK WEEK."
Skomal: MEET SHARK CAM'S BIG SISTER, SHARK CAM 2.
THIS AMAZING VEHICLE CAN GO DEEPER,
DOWN TO 2,000 FEET.
IT CAN GO LONGER, IT CAN GO FASTER.
MY DREAM IS TO FIND A BIG WHITE SHARK,
TRACK IT INTO THE ABYSS, AND FOLLOW IT AT NIGHT.
WE'VE GOT CAMERAS, WE'VE GOT LIGHTS,
SO WE CAN TURN IT ALL ON AND SEE WHAT THE ANIMALS ARE DOING.
Narrator: TO FOLLOW A GREAT WHITE, FIRST, THEY HAVE TO TAG IT.
Skomal: READY? THIS IS WHAT WE WANT.
YES! YES!
Man: GET IT? YES, YES, YES, YES!
LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO.
Narrator: EVERY FEW SECONDS, SCARBOARD'S TAG SENDS ITS POSITION
VIA AN ACOUSTIC SIGNAL TO SHARK CAM.
THE ROBOT SUB LOCKS ONTO THE SIGNAL
AND HEADS AFTER THE SHARK.
Skomal: THAT IS SPECTACULAR.
Woman: I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE.
Skomal: DON'T -- SEE, HER TAIL WAS BARELY MOVING.
YEAH, LOOK AT THAT. YEAH.
SHE'S GLIDING.
THAT'S AN AMAZING SHOT.
IT'S LIKE BEING UNDER THE BELLY OF AN AIRPLANE.
LOOK AT THAT. RIGHT?
THAT IS AMA-- PERFECT.
THREE METERS DOWN, THREE METERS BEHIND.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME, AT DEPTH,
WE ARE WATCHING WHAT THESE ANIMALS DO
WHEN THEY REALLY SLIP OUT OF SIGHT.
AMAZING, SEEING THINGS WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
UH-OH. OHH!
OH, MY GOSH!
THOUGH IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE IT, IT'S NOT ALL SILLY JOKES
AND MADE-UP WORDS HERE ON "THE DAILY BITE."
TO REALLY SPEAK TO THE CURRENT CONDITIONS
OF OUR SUFFERING SHARK ECOSYSTEMS,
IN THIS NEXT SEGMENT, WE TAKE A DEEP DIVE
INTO THE PRACTICES CURRENTLY THREATENING SHARK POPULATIONS.

SO IT'S BEEN A LONG JOURNEY OUT TO SEA,
BUT WE FINALLY HAVE OUR HATE TRAWLER,
AND WE'VE HEARD THAT THESE GUYS ARE HAULING IN
A HUGE AMOUNT OF BY-CATCH, INCLUDING SHARKS.
THE PLAN IS TO PULL UP, RIGHT NEXT TO THE BOAT,
TRY TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF LEEWAY ON THAT NET,
GET IN THE WATER REALLY QUICKLY, LET THAT NET COME TO US,
AND THEN GET OUR CAMERAS AS CLOSE AS WE CAN,
SEE WHAT WE SEE IN THE NET.
THERE'S THAT LITTLE SQUARE DOOR BEHIND ME,
ON THE SIDE OF THE VESSEL, RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S WHERE THEY SHOVEL OUT ALL THE BY-CATCH
ONCE THEY SORT THEIR CATCH UP ON THE DECK OF THE BOAT.
♪♪
Man: GOOD LUCK. GOOD LUCK.
GO! GO, GO, GO, GO.
THE GUYS HAVE JUST JUMPED IN HERE.
THE VERY FIRST BIT OF LONG LINE THAT THEY WENT DOWN ON,
THEY'VE SEEN SHARKS.
NOW, YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT THIS GOES ON
FOR MILES AND MILES AND MILES.
THERE ARE GONNA BE A LOT OF SHARKS HERE.
♪♪
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
ON THE TWO HOOKS THAT I SAW IN THE SHORT, LITTLE DISTANCE
THAT I FOLLOWED THAT LINE, THERE'S A SHARK ON EACH HOOK.
THE ONE THAT I WENT DOWN AND PICKED UP,
A LITTLE, TINY JUVENILE BLUE SHARK.
COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
THIS REALLY PISSES ME OFF, SEEING THIS WHOLE SITUATION.
THESE SHARKS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN GILL NETS, IN TRAWLERS,
AND HERE ON LONG LINES, AND NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT
WHAT IS HAPPENING OUT HERE, ON THE HIGH SEAS.
I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT WE GET THIS SHARK BACK IN
AND LAY IT TO REST.

FRIENDS, IT IS TIME TO CHECK IN WITH YAMANEIKA SAUNDERS,
WHO'S GOT A SPECIAL LOOK AT THE LAWS O' JAWS.
LET'S WATCH.
THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S ANOTHER EDITION OF "YAMANEIKA VISION."
♪ SHE BE TUCKIN' MONEY, LOOKIN' BOURGIE DOWN A RIDE ♪
♪ ON A BOAT ♪ ♪ SPLASH ♪
NO!
WHAT?
NO!
HERE'S THE THING -- THESE SHARKS ONLY WANT TO EAT PEOPLE, OKAY?
YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ONE SHARK
TRYING TO EAT ANY OF THESE PEOPLE.
THESE PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE, PUTTING THEMSELVES ON THE MENU.
THIS IS WHY WE NEED THE LAWS OF JAWS --
TO PROTECT SHARKS FROM US.
♪♪
FOR ME TO REENACT THESE SCENES,
THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAKE ME THE QUEEN OF SHARKS.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE, THERE'S NOT EVEN ANY TYPE
OF MONETARY THING YOU COULD GIVE ME.
I DON'T -- I DON'T -- I DON'T NEED THE MONEY.
I NEED TO, NOW, CONTROL AND HAVE SUPER POWERS OVER THE SHARKS.
SO, WHATEVER THAT THING, UH, AQUAMAN HAD WHEN HE USED
TO BUBBLE IT OUT, THAT'S WHAT I NEED,
AND THEN YOU'LL SEE ME OUT THERE, SWIMMING WITH SHARKS.
YOU BETTER NOT MISS "THE LAWS OF JAWS,"
ONLY ON "SHARK WEEK."
THANKS FOR WATCHING MY FAVY IN THE NAVY SHOW.
I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S CALLED
"THE HOURLY NIBBLE," OR SOMETHING.
EH, SEEMS FINE.
TURN OFF THE LIGHTS. I AM SLEEPING HERE.
AND, BRUCE, I CALL LITTLE SPOON THIS TIME!
UGH! GOT TO KEEP AN EYE ON THAT GUY.
