reviews?

i thought it was good, but some of the claims are dubvious.

great white shark, deadlist speices of shark? i though bull, or tiger sharks were more dangerous.

and saltwater croc, as most dangerous reptile? again i'd think that title went to russles viper, or simalar, as most kills?

but also, it focused less on steve, guessing this is because they didnt have enough footage, but genrally, it was a good show.

near the end, the bit about what we are doing to the seas etc, nearly brought a tear, very graphic for 6pm to be honest.

other opinions?

What do you or they mean by deadliest? As far as I know, great whites are responsible for more human deaths than any other shark.

Any one got any idea when the next part is on? It said 1/2 on the TV guide, but I dunno when the next one is!

Quite liked it, but not very focussed on Steve as was said.

Oh, and I think they said the sea snake was the most dangerous/venoumous reptile. I was surprised by that.

got to agree with Dan there was some right dodgy claims..but apart from that some good footage.

was kinda hoping one if them would get stung a little by the box jelly fish. not much but a little. i mean they talked about how delicate they were then stuck a monster tracker on it with superglue!

Touchée...the great white does in fact kill the most HUMANS in an average year,

But, the other claim was, that a saltwater croc is the most dangerous reptile.

while it is a pretty dangerous animal, i would put in he top 10, but not first by number of attacks, or kills. i cannot back this up, but am looking for sources.

if anyone can offer a source, to prove, or disprove my theory, please do.

it is claimed that the box jellyfish is the most deadly creture in the sea, but sharks kill more, blueringed octopuses'(or octopii) have a more potant venom, per mg, and sea snakes posess more venom in terms of volume.

so a bit the info is not "fully correct".

if it was talking about in australian waters only, then it may be more-or-less correct. but i missed the forst 20mins or so, and therefore cannot comment on that.

Depends on where they are speaking from. In australia great whites are the shark that attacks most but in hawaii most of the shark attacks are from tiger sharks. I think bull sharks are the most aggressive being more aggressive on attacks than great whites.
