The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents<br>
<i>Nature Screen<br>
PBS Original NATURE Documentary “Shark Mountain”<br>
<br>
</i></div>
<br>
</b>BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster
continues its Nature Screen monthly film series with PBS’ original NATURE
documentary; <i>Shark Mountain</i><b> Saturday, September 5, 2015 @
11:30am.<br><br>
</b>A team of expert and intrepid divers, led by renowned underwater film
specialists Howard and Michele Hall, leads viewers into the ultimate
domain of sharks. On the dive of a lifetime, <i>Shark Mountain</i>
reveals underwater creatures unlike anywhere else in the world. Some 300
miles off Costa Rica is Cocos Island, a tiny Pacific outpost that was
once a favorite haunt of pirates. Cocos, a designated World Heritage
Site, lies directly in the path of powerful ocean currents that often
collide with the island, churning the waters into an undersea
storm.<br><br>
These swirling currents carry rich nutrients to a reef teeming with
brilliantly colored marine life. Residents include moray eels, hawksbill
turtles, leather bass, bigeye jacks, red-lipped batfish, yellow
barberfish, hogfish, and sea urchins, to name only a few.<br><br>
The currents bring more than algae to this island paradise. They also
summon an extraordinary abundance of sharks, providing a golden
opportunity to observe some of the most surprising and baffling shark
behavior ever captured on film. The volume and variety of sharks that
visit Cocos on a regular basis is staggering, and includes huge numbers
of silkies, hammerheads, black-tip reef sharks, white-tip reef sharks,
silver-tip reef sharks, whale sharks, and their distant cousins, the
marbled rays.<br><br>
