Shark tale
EYE TO EYE Catch the deadly human-shark rendezvous
While the whole world believes that a great white shark’s eye is black in colour and that it is an emotionless and instinctive killer, Michael Rutzen is one of the few people who have got close enough to sharks to know that its eye colour is in
fact not black but turquoise blue. Featuring daring adventurer Michael Rutzen, Animal Planet will now present an action packed thriller show “Sharkman” – the man who has learnt to communicate with the world’s wildest predator: the great white shark.
Sharkman narrates the account of the unbelievable proximity between Michael Rutzen and sharks, wherein some sharks return to him, time and again, out of curiosity, with some even allowing him to take a ride with them by holding their dorsal fins.
Michael Rutzen is a South African diver who prefers his encounters with the great white sharks to be up close and personal. He began free diving with sharks in 1997, without the safety of a cage. Michael decided to leave his job and family on a daring quest – to change the public opinion to save these sharks before it’s too late.
Michael believes that sharks are not mindless killers as we make them out to be; in fact they are far smarter and more sensitive than popularly believed. Catch this amazing human-shark tale on Animal Planet on January 9 and 10 at 8 p.m.
