Quote from Fabien Cousteau's web site:
"As a member of an elite team off the coast of South Africa, Fabien took part in a cage-less diving expedition with Great White sharks. During the behavior research, he was surprised to observe how docile, even skittish, these notorious fishes really are."
Then WHY the title "The Mind of a Demon" for his documentary on diving with white sharks?? :shakehead
I just really don't like it when otherwise intelligent/thoughtful people contribute to the demonization of some of the ocean's most magnificent creatures, usually for the sake of playing on the fears of the average, uninformed viewer.
Look at it this way, if some eco-celebrity did a thoughful documentary on the lion and called it "The Mind of a Blood-Thirsty Beast" I think some in the wildlife community would find it not only improper but inaccurate as well.
Sorry for the rant. (It IS a Monday, though.)
