0:00:01 > 0:00:05'On Deadly 60, I've had loads of incredible animal encounters.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08'Here's just one of my many favourites.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10'This is Deadly 60 Bites.'
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Whoa!
0:00:15 > 0:00:19I'm heading to the shark-infested waters of Africa's southern coast
0:00:19 > 0:00:21on the hunt for a great white shark.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26They're the largest purely predatory fish on the planet
0:00:26 > 0:00:29and this is the best place in the world to see them.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33The best way to get shots of these animals
0:00:33 > 0:00:35is for me to get in the water with them
0:00:35 > 0:00:37and use this underwater camera.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41We've got sharks, we've got visibility,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and this is going to be out of this world.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51At first glance, the coast is clear.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Then, almost out of nowhere...
0:00:54 > 0:00:57..the first shark cruises by...
0:01:00 > 0:01:03..closely followed by a second.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Soon it feels like I'm surrounded.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15This is unreal!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The water's like crystal. Amazing visibility.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22And there's two huge sharks just circling around
0:01:22 > 0:01:25and around and around, making passes at the bait.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26It's phenomenal.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29The size of them, the elegance of them.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32But they are very, very sinister-looking animals.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37This is better than we could ever have hoped for.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39The great whites are truly displaying everything
0:01:39 > 0:01:41that makes them deadly.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48That's the difference!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51That's when they come up almost vertically.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54A shark went right down, very, very low in the sea bed,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56but all the time keeping its eyes on the bait,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59and then just came straight up vertically.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Wow. I've got to stop saying, "Wow."
0:02:03 > 0:02:04HE LAUGHS
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Whoa!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11That is just extraordinary!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14You can see as the shark comes in,
0:02:14 > 0:02:19its eye rolls back in its socket to protect it,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22just in case there's the teeth of a seal
0:02:22 > 0:02:25waiting to go for that eye that's really vulnerable.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32The great white is one of the largest predators on earth,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35but these are only about three metres longer.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39The biggest have been double this size, over six metres long.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43I can't even conceive of a great white that big.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54There are some animals that just seem
0:02:54 > 0:02:57to totally rule their environment.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01They just have this aura of invincibility about them.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Oh!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07That was extraordinary!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Almost completely left the water.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Oh, and bashed the cage on the way through as well.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15It's not just one of the most ferocious animals on the planet now,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18it's one of the most ferocious animals that's ever lived.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Ohhh!
0:03:26 > 0:03:29We've had perfect sea conditions, terrific visibility,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33and the closest, clearest views of this iconic beast I've ever seen.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37We are all totally blown away.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Oh, my goodness!
0:03:40 > 0:03:44What we haven't seen is a mindless killing machine.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47This animal is far more intelligent than that,
0:03:47 > 0:03:51and for that reason alone, it has to go on the Deadly 60.
