Before being an earthly paradise with enchanting colours, the lagoon of New-Caledonia is above all a paradise for sharks. Usually considered as fierce predators, sharks really are opportunistic scavengers.

Scavengers that are not too picky when it comes to their menu: feathers, fins or fur, anything will do.

Amongst the most striking scenes which punctuate this documentary filmed for four years in New Caledonia, is the never-seen-before sequence of the planet’s greatest animal, a weakened blue whale, attacked and cleaned up by hordes of sharks from the surface down to the abyss. High quality images and a dramatic backdrop soundtrack plunge us into the shark's world.

  • Marvellous marine footage. Peter Hudson, the narrator, what makes this video so thrilling. My admiration.

    I found the electricity sound effects to be really distracting and kind of silly. It was also a little distracting that most of the music was bits and derivatives of the "Requiem for a Dream" soundtrack, by Clint Mansell.
  • sometimes i see people diving with like such animals and i constantly ask myself are they aware about how dangerous they are to me oftenly i watch such things like we are just food to the sharks 😂😂

    I originally thought the title was: "Sharks : Savages of the Sea"

    Guy said "common scavengers.... Outsmarted by their unders" i encourage anyone to observe a shark in its natural habitat if the opportunity ever comes up. They do not disappoint

  • Pourquoi un titre en francais pour un document tout en anglais ? C'est trompeur. . .
