In this episode of Shark Week: The Podcast, marine biologist and shark expert Luke Tipple answers the burning question: how do sharks jump so high out of the water? And he breaks down the unique ways sharks hunt and navigate using their super-hero sixth sense and how you can put a shark in a trance, a reflex called tonic immobility.  He also dispels the myths that secreting bodily fluids will increase the likelihood of a shark encounter.
