The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
Nature Screen
PBS Original NATURE Documentary Shark Mountain
BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural
History in Brewster continues its Nature Screen
monthly film series with PBS original NATURE
documentary; Shark Mountain Saturday, September 5, 2015 @ 11:30am.
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,
Shark Mountain 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.
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.
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.
Join us every month for compelling, educational
and visually stunning nature documentaries that
inspire appreciation, curiosity and stewardship
of our natural world and its inhabitants.
