Extreme Sharkfest – Tiger Shark Terror  極限鯊戮 — 夜霸王虎鯊
by Marcus Maurice

What's scarier than sharks during the day? Sharks at night.
有什麼比白天碰到鯊魚更可怕的呢?夜晚的鯊魚。

  

  Imagine surfing in the ocean on a beautiful day, and soon you see a gray fin pop out of the water in the distance. Your heart races and you get the adrenalin pumping. Soon, you see a huge shark in the water coming directly towards you, and it's only 10 meters away. What can you do to save yourself? While this scenario is scary, imagine if the same thing happened in utter darkness.
  Every diver who has taken classes has been warned that sharks often feed at night, so they should stay away from certain areas of the ocean when the sun goes down. This month, National Geographic heads to Tiger Beach to find out if this
myth is true or not in Extreme Sharkfest – Tiger Shark Terror. Professional shark diver Eli Martinez and scientist Matthew Smukall plunge into the nighttime world of sharks to see if things are different from during the day.
  The two experts are tasked with a difficult job. They have to put small,
advanced camera systems onto these majestic killing machines. To do this, Martinez and Smukall have to put the sharks into a hypnotic state and hope that they don't get their arms bit off. These small cameras can track the sharks' movements, heart rates, and more. They can also help unlock the mysteries of their eating habits. Be sure to tune in this month for Extreme Sharkfest – Tiger Shark Terror and learn if you should really stay out of the water at night.

極限鯊戮 — 夜霸王虎鯊
有什麼比白天碰到鯊魚更可怕的呢?夜晚的鯊魚。

  想像一下,在風和日麗的日子在海中衝浪,很快地你就看到遠處有灰色的鯊魚鰭從水中浮出。你的心跳加速,腎上腺素激升。很快地,你看見水中一隻巨型的鯊魚朝你的方向前進,而且牠只在十公尺遠的距離。你可以做什麼來拯救自己呢?雖然這般情境相當可怕,但試想如果同樣的情況發生在伸手不見五指的黑暗中會是如何。
  每一位上過課的潛水員都曾經被警告說鯊魚經常在夜間覓食,所以在太陽下山後,他們就應該遠離某些海域。這個月,國家地理的《極限鯊戮 — 夜霸王虎鯊》前往老虎灘探索這則傳說是否屬實。專業鯊魚潛水員伊萊•馬丁尼茲和科學家馬修•史麥克潛進夜間的鯊魚世界,窺探一切事物是否與在白天時有所不同。
  這兩位專家被指派一項艱難的工作。他們必須將小型的先進攝影系統放到這些體型雄偉的殺人機器上。為了這麼做,馬丁尼茲和史麥克必須讓鯊魚進入催眠狀態,同時希望他們的雙臂不會被咬斷。這些小型攝影機可以追蹤鯊魚的移動和心率等等。它們也可以幫助解開牠們飲食習慣的謎團。這個月務必要收看《極限鯊戮 — 夜霸王虎鯊》,了解你是否真的應該在晚上避開海域。

外國人也瘋打禪
