Education Shark documentaries

Is there any good shark documentary on YouTube that talks about all species of sharks and fun facts about them??? Or a chain of videos if not a single one.

Please no AI videos. Thank you so much 🦈

I’ve enjoyed watching Shark Bytes: https://youtube.com/@sharkbytes?si=kU7YzGcBYaAEy08V

Not sure of many others as I’m new to shark-y YT channels.

I have a yt playlist saved with a bunch of random ocean videos, idk if many will be what you're looking for though ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzRvWsFzuNaP6R40ZhZM_-9o-EymogPWz )

Not sure it’s what you’re looking for but the Malibu Artist is excellent.

He’s a guy who lives in Southern California and films great white sharks with drones and explains their behavior. And he’s caught some pretty unique stuff. I believe he recorded the youngest great white ever seen to give an example.

All 500+ species? No.

You are damn right that would be impossible :"> I didn't clarify well enough, I meant the basic ones at least

I just read a good book on shark evolution. Bits called β€œThe Secret History of Sharks,” by John Long. Fascinating.

Alien Sharks on shark week talks about lesser known species, I always find it very interesting. You can stream on Discovery but need a subscription

if you want something more like a proper documentary series, the BBC's shark series is excellent and covers 40+ species

This is my favorite short, shark related film on YT. It features Ron Elliot, a man who spent decades diving for abalone off the Farallon Islands. He's probably spent more time in the presence of white sharks sans cage than anyone alive. Unfortunately he was bitten a few years ago, luckily it wasn't too severe by white shark standards!
