Sneak Peek Screening of Discovery’s New Shark Week Episode @ OdySea Aquarium
Jul 19 @ 7:00 pm
See it here on the big screen before it airs on TV! Enjoy a first-look at one of the new episodes premiering on Discovery Channel this year as part of Shark Week. Here is what you can expect in the video, Madagascar is not known as a location for great white sharks. According to the shark sanctuary here, both great whites and tigers are ‘extinct’ in Madagascan waters. So why has a great white shark, tagged in South Africa, travelled 1500 miles up the African coast to Madagascar? Craig O’Connell and the team make the long journey to the remote island nation to investigate and see if Madagascar is the next big great white shark hotspot. The 50-minute episode screening will be accompanied by a discussion and question and answer session led by our Animal Care Team. Capacity is limited to 150 people per screening and requires a ticket for entrance.
