Steve Backshall reveals another side to sharks. Steve tracks down the blue shark, which migrates around the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

This time on Shark Bites, Steve Backshall tracks down the ultimate aquatic athlete. Taking mega-migrations around the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the blue sharks are ocean Olympians. Steve catches up with a couple of these bolts of blue off the Californian coast, before heading to the Shark Lab to reveal how these canny creatures rely on their super-liver to provide buoyancy, and hitch a ride on ocean currents, allowing these athletes to make mega-migrations across the great oceans.
