Shark Week continues on the Discovery Channel tonight with two new shows:

DIRTY JOBS: GREENLAND SHARK QUEST
Premieres Tuesday, July 29, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
DIRTY JOBS’ Mike Rowe, who travels north to the edge of the Arctic Circle in search of the mysterious Greenland shark. These large sharks are slow-moving behemoths, and learning more about them will help scientists understand the rapid ecological changes affecting that part of the world, and how the Greenland shark impacts the food chain there.

HOW NOT TO BECOME SHARK BAIT
Premiering Tuesday, July 29, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Sharks may have a bad reputation, but you actually have a very slim chance of being attacked by one. A thrill-seeking team with a purpose travel to the Bahamas to test shark attraction theories on lemon, tiger and Caribbean reef sharks. In the process, viewers learn strategies for staying safe when in the water.

The Shark Bait show sounds very similar to the tests that they’ve been running all week, and I imagine that the show will focus on Samuel Gruber’s Bimini Biological Field Station and Jim Abernathy’s dives at Tiger Beach in the Bahamas.

However, the Dirty Jobs show will be featuring a little-known shark and actually getting amazing first-time footage. The Greenland shark is one of the lesser known species and easily one of the hardest to study, seeing as it lives way up under the Arctic ice. I’m really, really excited about this show and am looking forward to covering it.
