The sharks that hunt in forests

Forests don't usually come to mind as a habitat for sharks. But marine forests provide a home for 35% of the world's sharks. Mangrove forests in particular function as an essential bridge between land and sea and have evolved various adaptations that protect them and their resident sharks. Luka Seamus Wright explores these unique and vital ecosystems. [Directed by William Cifuentes, Lucy Animation Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani].
