Mommy or Daddy told us fairy tales of the big bad wolf, but SharkFest’s Big Sharks Rule is about to school us on the big bad sharks of South Africa.

Nat Geo Wild’s sixth annual SharkFest kicks off on Sunday, July 15, and will go through July 27. Competing with Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, Nat Geo Wild offers two full weeks of shark centered documentaries.

It is day two, and Big Sharks Rule airs tonight to give an inside scoop on “shark central.” The waters of South Africa hold a plethora of creatures whose beauty and size is enough to make your jaw drop – or open wide.

The location provides fin-tastic conditions for these predators to reside and, most importantly, hunt. Great whites, tiger sharks, bull sharks, ragged tooth sharks and whale sharks are among the species to claim the waters as their own.

But the megalodon-sized question is: Why do some of the most massive shark species cluster in one area when roughly 70 percent of the Earth is covered by water? One would think they could give each other some space to avoid bumping (hammer) heads.

Do the ocean predators compete for food? Do they become aggressive and eat one another? Experts will discuss everything there is to know about the location and the killer species that swim atop the food chain of the rocky South African coastline.

Here’s how you can watch Big Sharks Rule and the rest of SharkFest.
