Sperm Whale, Hippopotamus and Copper Sharks

Traveling the world to film the Great Whales was one of Tony Miller's first assignments. When he sees a sperm whale coming at him full steam off the coast of New Zealand, he thinks it might also be his last.

Alex Wills has made a specialty of filming Africa's dangerous animals close up. He stays safe by using remote cameras, but all the gadgets in the world can't protect him when a hippopotamus launches a surprise attack.

Then, filming South Africa's annual sardine run nearly ends in tragedy for underwater cameraman Simon Enderby. He finds himself caught in the middle of a feeding frenzy — with hundreds of predators. It's just a matter of time until a feeding shark snaps at Simon.
