It’s Day 5 of Shark Week 2017 on Discovery — and there’s a whole load of fin-tastic treats in store on the schedule today.
The main events take place this evening, but there is a sharktastic array of programs on all day, on the hour every hour.
Look out for everything from underwater shark “storms” to 1,000lb makos and the “sharkiest” place on earth.
