I`m sure someone watched this on the Discovery Ch. I think what surprised me more than anything is the fact that they actually believed that the sharks would not no the difference. What`s everyone`s thoughts on this program???

They put a robotic shark in the water that looked and mimicked a actually sharks movements. To see if sharks would know that it wasn`t real. If you get the chance you should watch this I`m sure it will play again this week on the Discovery Ch.

Cousteau`s son conducted a similar research project by submersing himself in a shark-module to research their behaviors w/o them knowing of human presence. Great research footage that almost lead to his death.
