on, we'll show you. there they are! lemon sharks. we found them. this quiet channel is a lemon shark nursery. it's a safe out-of-the-way place where lemon shark mothers can have their babies. and it's a place where young sharks can live for the first few years of their lives. there's still so much about sharks that we don't know especially certain species like the great white shark that we filmed off the south african coast. the movements and life cycle of this secretive cold-water shark are probably the least known of all sharks. imagine if we could stick with the great white shark as she travels through the seas. and see what her secret life and life cycle is all about. what if? what if?

baby sharks. babies? babies? chris and martin: baby sharks! oh, they're cute. they're cute. that's impossible. sharks are fish and fish lay eggs. i'll prove it. see, my grandfather and i found this on the beach last summer. it's a shark egg case. like the shark version of an eggshell. jimmy's right. some sharks, like cat sharks do lay eggs like that. they attach them to seaweed with those stringy hooks. and they stay there until the baby shark is ready to hatch out. ha! boo-yeah! knew i was right. but aviva's scan is right too. ha! boo-yay. er, whatever. with other sharks, like great whites, their eggs hatch in their bellies. wow. that's totally different from most other fish. oh, i can't believe it. razor-mouth is going to be a mama. she's going to have pups. pups? what? she's having baby dogs

too? no, baby sharks are called pups. (laughing) shark puppies. that's cute. hey, if she's having pups, maybe that's where she's headed. yes, to a nursery. a shark nursery. other sharks, like lemon sharks, have special places they go to have their pups. and maybe great whites do too. nobody's ever seen a great white shark nursery before. we got to stick with her. (sonar beeping) if i find some big fish, then the shark will come to me. ooh, i knew there'd be a school of fish around here somewhere. (laughing) the shark will catch the fish and i will catch the shark. (cackling) martin: i'm getting hungry. razor-mouth must be getting hungry too. she hasn't eaten in days. oh, great. and we're

swimming right up towards her mouth. it's a good thing they don't eat remoras very often. fish, sea turtles and seals are the great white's favorite. so we should be okay. "should be"? whoa. look at those nostrils. i wonder what smells they're picking up right now. martin: those nostrils can sense the blood of an injured fish or other sea animal from 3 miles away. and the eyes: they've got a special ability to roll back into her head when she bites something so her eyes get protected from getting poked. martin, seems like she's looking up. yeah. i have a feeling she might be-- (rumbling) ah! quick! latch on! get closer! got it! oh, she's moving so fast i can't see a thing. just keep that sucker-head suckered, dude. let's hope it holds. chris and martin: whoa!

(chris and martin screaming) well, i guess great whites like tuna fish for lunch too. (groaning) yeah. hold the mayo. and sucker-head gets the leftovers. another good reason to stick with sharks: a free meal. free ride and free meals? wow. these remoras have it easy. and look. razor-mouth just leaves the little remora alone. yeah. like most animals, sharks have certain foods they like to eat and everything else they'd rather just stay away from. and that includes people cleaner fish and remoras. and remora subs. right, razor-mouth? razor-mouth! look out! razor-mouth! look out! hang on, buddy. we're coming.

(gasping) oh, we should have known. (laughing) chris and martin: gourmand! huh? i've been out to sea too long. i thought i heard those pesky wild kratts. chris: you did. hm? oh. (sniffing) yes, i smell them. but where? hm? oh, ha-ha-ha. it's the kratt brothers riding in a bathtub toy. well, isn't that nice? yeah, yeah. well, what are you doing with that shark? she needs to get back to the sea. she's going places you know. oh, i know. you do? you do? yes. she's going in my soup. now, putter away. i've got shark fin soup to make. martin: shark fin soup? are you kidding me? you want her fins for a soup? why, yes. but only her fins. (laughing) you can't just take her fins. she won't survive

without her fins. she won't be able to swim. she'll die. you can't do this. besides, she's got-- baby shark pups. gourmand: au revoir. taking sharks for their fins? i had no idea people actually do that. some do. it says here that between shark fin soup and hunting sharks for sport people kill about 100 million sharks every year. 100 million? like, 1 and 8 zeros? yeah. and less than 10 people die from sharks every year. and it's usually only because a shark mistakes them for natural prey. sounds like sharks have more reason to be scared of people than we do of them. so we've got to save razor-mouth and her pups. pronto. (gasping) one remora disc and one great white shark disc coming at you, guys. teleport.

yes! yes! activate shark powers. (gasping) sucker-head, wait for me. whoa! (screaming) activate remora powers. follow that boat shark face. chris and martin: to the creature rescue! (sniffing) and now for the final ingredient. (crashing) whoa. ah! what was that? why isn't my boat moving? turbo fins, full reverse!

who is driving this boat? that would be me. with remora power. get off! sorry. i'm stuck. ha! full power. that'll shake them off. ready, chris. all systems go. okay, martin. here i come. with shark power. oh, yeah. there's one more thing about sharks. they're living torpedoes. they can move so fast that sometimes they leap clear out of the water. you're free, razor-mouth. detach sucker. whoa! whoa! (screaming) have a great trip, gourmand. have a great trip, gourmand. (gourmand grunting) looks like his cage is full again. yeah, but that's one

different catch. (laughing) razor-mouth, wait up. aviva: hey, guys. you made it just in time. i think she found the place she came all this way for. yes. this could be it. the never-before-seen secret nursery of a great white shark. it's the perfect place. a shallow bay away from the dangers of the ocean like bigger sharks whales and orcas. yeah. other sharks have their pups in area a lot like this. it's just that no one's ever seen where great whites go. and you won't either if you don't look. it's happening. amazing! a great white shark pup. two. three. oh, three great white shark pups. now that's my kind of

puppy. aw, they're cute. aw, they're cute. huh. wait, where's razor-mouth going? chris: it's okay, koki. she's heading back to deeper water. these shark pups have everything they need to survive. all those amazing shark features ready to go. and they're on their own from the moment they're born. so they're all alone? well, they're not completely alone. he's got sucker-head to keep him company. and sucker-head has a new ride. (all laughing) so even though great white sharks are one of the top predators of the ocean they still have to deal with some of the same challenges and dangers that other creatures are faced with. martin: there is still so much for us to learn to understand them better.

chris: but using radio telemetry, scientists are beginning to discover new things about great white sharks like how they take massive journeys across entire oceans during their lifetime. martin: these lemon sharks on the other hand, we know a lot more about thanks to the work of our friend, dr. gruber and his team. hey, doc. all right. chris: dr. gruber has spent decades here in the bahamas studying the life cycle of the lemon shark. this place is called a shark nursery. and why are these young sharks here? because there are predators out in the deeper water that would eat these little sharks, namely other sharks. so the young sharks stay here in the shallows, where no predators can get to them. it's a safety zone for the sharks a place where they can get bigger and stronger until it's time to head out to deeper water. and we want to catch one of these sharks and give it a tag, and we can follow their growth. martin: there's one right under there. chris: all right, here comes one. yeah! all right. yes. all right,

a nice lemon shark. gruber: now, let's let him calm down. he's almost ready to go to sleep. chris: oh, yeah. he's asleep. gruber: he is asleep. chris: you don't even have to hold him. martin: that is a beautiful shark. wow. gruber: and then we inject the tag underneath the skin. tag's in there. let's read it. number? martin: 4-a-6-3-3-8-0-1-0-5. okay, excellent. we know who he is. all right buddy. we're almost done. you're helping with science. that way, we can help protect these sharks. that's exactly right. and they do need protection. chris: total length is 71. that's about a year old. okay. a year-old lemon shark. wow. every year the team learns something new about the sharks like now they know that the sharks usually come back to where they were born when they're big enough to have their own pups. all right, she's all done and we're ready to release her back to living free and in the wild. all right. gently push. thanks a lot, shark. martin: all right. gruber:

excellent. martin: all right, good job. chris: great. we're stuck on sharks. see you on the creature trail. chris: that was awesome. martin: long live the sharks. this is a lanner falcon from africa, a bird hunter and savannah speedster. want to see him fly? and, take off! this is falconry, the training of hawks and falcons. coming in! whoa! that was some serious flying. great job. and now, he gets his reward, a piece of meat. check out his wings. he's guarding his prey. he earned it so he's going to eat it. the loris has a special style. this primate is a slow-moving hunter. look at the muscle control. and he has a special way of pumping blood to his arms so they don't get tired so he can hold on to branches for a long, long time. i mean, these

are strong fuzzy little creatures. nice upside-down hang. all right. all right, chris. are you ready for a creature challenge? i'm ready. all right. is it a reptile? nope. not a reptile. is he in the dog family? nope. but it has claws like dogs, and it's faster than any dog. like, really fast? like, try the fastest runner in the world. i know it! it's a cheetah, the fastest cat in the world. you got it! yes! all right! i love cheetahs! announcer: maya and miguel have a secret. what did you hear? they're on weekdays. this is going to be so great! yeah! we'll be heroes! i didn't think we could pull it off! announcer: "maya and miguel" weekdays on pbs kids go! or watch anytime you want at pbskidsgo.org. wild kratts is made possible by
