Ancient Predators

David's quest is to highlight the plight of the Wobbegong Shark as its numbers continue to decline from over fishing. During the films production David travels the NSW coast in search of Wobbegong sharks. During weeks of diving he encounters an amazing diversity of creatures. Some of the animal encounters are dangerous, like when David hand feeds giant stingrays and stimulates a monster ray to attack! David hand feeds eels, giant cuttlefish and has an angry grey nurse try and bite his head. The climax of the film is when David hand feeds Wobbegong Sharks on deepwater reefs off the Solitary Islands. The footage achieved in the making of this film attracted a Sixty Minutes story on David's fight to save sharks from extinction. 44 minute duration. Rated (G)
