A Savage Kind of Love

Follow marine scientists as they discover the mating ritual of the Atlantic nurse shark in the remotest of Florida's Keys, The Dry Tortugas. Here, protected marine life exists as it did twenty-five years ago in the more northern Keys. The pristine conditions and the absence of fishermen provide a safe environment for all of the marine life that inhabits the area. Since the nurse sharks have selected the area as their mating grounds, marine scientists are afforded the rare opportunity to study the seldom witnessed mating habits of the shark, revealing startling observations.
