Ragged Tooth: An Incredible Journey
Channel: Nat Geo Wild (DStv 182 / StarSat 221)
TX Time: 14h05
Genre: Wildlife, Documentary
The ragged tooth shark's secret 1,500km breeding migration along the South African coastline is punctuated with various dramatic beats, predatory events and hardships.
For the first time, footage of the actual act of mating is revealed.
We follow the secretive ragged tooth sharks on an epic migration, from the cold waters of the Cape to their breeding grounds near the Mozambique border.
Ragged tooth sharks, often overshadowed by great whites and tiger sharks, are formidable predators.
Growing over three metres long and weighing 300 kilograms, they dominate the ocean's food chain.
Unlike other sharks, they remain secretive, lurking just above the sea floor.
Each year, they embark on an epic migration from South Africa's coast to Mozambique's warmer waters for breeding.
Along the way, they follow shoals of yellowtail and sardines, feasting to prepare for the season.
Though they appear slow, they strike with deceptive speed, snapping prey sideways and swallowing them whole.
Midway, they reach Aliwal Shoal, a reef with strong currents and deep caves, ideal for resting.
Blacktip and tiger sharks hunt above while ragged tooth sharks patrol below.
Most females bear scars from violent mating rituals, now captured on camera for the first time.
Males bite their partners to force them into position, leaving deep wounds.
Inside the womb, survival begins early — shark embryos develop teeth at 10cm and cannibalize weaker siblings, ensuring only one pup per uterus survives.
As birth nears, pregnant females move to the calm waters of Sodwana Bay, where they give birth to fully independent one-metre-long pups that immediately start hunting — just as they did in the womb.

Very little is known about these giants of the ocean, but one thing is clear – they are global travellers of the highest order, travelling thousands of miles and navigating some of the most treacherous waters on the planet.
To illustrate the voyage, shark researchers fit a satellite tag to a female whale shark, which allows the viewer an unprecedented access into her ocean odyssey.
Domino sets sail from the Seychelles in November, heading south.
Between every feast, she encounters a rollercoaster of challenges, some of them man-made, some of them predatory.
Sometimes her surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful, other times harsh and hostile.
Over the course of six months, she crosses a variety of ocean habitats and meets a myriad of fellow open-water sea creatures, from turtles to sailfish and a variety of sharks.
Her voyage is relentless and forward momentum is the only way to oxygenate her blood. If she stops, she dies.
Offering a healthy dose of captivating underwater natural history with a sprinkling of science, we follow in the wake of Domino's journey towards her southern feeding grounds.
We witness her resilience and determination as she navigates through treacherous waters and takes on various challenges, all the while showcasing the beauty and fragility of her underwater habitat.
