Episode 005 - The Monsters of Australian WatersUpdate: 2018-07-09
Description
Beneath Australia’s waters lurk two of the most formidable predators on Earth—sharks and crocodiles. From the saltwater crocodiles that dominate the northern waterways to the great white sharks patrolling the coastline, these apex predators have ruled for millions of years. With chilling attacks, near-mythical sightings, and legendary encounters, their presence has fuelled both fear and fascination. But how much of their reputation is fact, and how much is fiction?
Join Holly & Matthew as they dive into the monsters of Australian waters—sharks, crocodiles, and the legends that surround them.
