On television, sharks and other top predators tend to get a bad rap.*
Portrayed as fierce, insatiable killers during the Discovery Channel's Shark Week (http://mashable.com/category/shark-week/) of programming, for example, the fact that humans are the ones pushing many shark species to the brink of extinction is rarely, if ever mentioned.
If you're looking for a fascinating, dramatic and more balanced perspective on predators in the wild, you may want to check out the new BBC America ******, The Hunt (http://www.bbcamerica.com/shows/the-hunt), airing Sunday evenings at 9 p.m. ET.*
SEE ALSO: Jumping shark caught on camera in an almost Sharknado situation (http://mashable.com/2016/07/03/jumping-shark-australia/)
The show comes from multi-Emmy-award winning producers Alastair Fothergill and Huw Cordey, who worked on the acclaimed ****** Planet Earth (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795176/). Like that ******, this one is also narrated by Sir David Attenborough.* Read more...
