Dolphins of Shark Bay
In a stunning new insight into the lives of wild dolphins, this film follows six remarkable months in the life of the 'Beachies': a family of six dolphins led by mother-to-be Puck, who live in the shark-infested waters of Western Australia's Shark Bay. Using the latest miniature cameras to eavesdrop on the Beachies' underwater lives, this moving story follows Puck and the challenges she faces bringing up her newborn calf Samu. From learning to fish, to the ever-present threat of a shark attack, no day is ever the same. Including rarely seen footage of young dolphins and revelatory new behaviour, this is a heart-warming and emotional portrayal of one of the ocean's most revered creatures.

The most op one in the water is the cameraman

“Shark approaches dolphins” is a better title, since the video doesn’t show an attack and the narrator doesn’t know or see the attack. Nice click bait BBC.

Narrator: "It's a hammerhead"

when id surf south of san fran there was a pod of dolphins that were around quite consistently. the baby calfs would swim right up next to me tilt sideways and peer at me with one eye within judt a couple feet and the adults would rub against you occasionally keeping the calfs from getting too close. awesome feeling

Looks like dolphins just reacted to a approaching shark. Not sure why attack is being used.

Should have been titled "Sketchy footage of dolphin fins above murky water"...
Just sayin'..

A bit more underwater filming would have made things clearer for everyone. Disappointed about abrupt ending.
