WE GOT A TASTE AND WENT BACK FOR ANOTHER BITE
In order to celebrate Nat Geo’s 10th anniversary of SharkFest, the Cerebral crew took a deep dive into the many aspects of these magnificent creatures.

Against a quick paced, motion heavy edit, a droll voice talks about fascinating facts, like…intrauterine cannibalism…
