Shark Man Dan: Walking Sharks, Strange Species and Wild Ocean Stories

That's Just Wild

Show Notes

This week on That’s Just Wild, Sarah is joined by special guest Shark Man Dan for a deep dive into the world of sharks… and the wild path that led Dan to dedicate his career to them. 🦈🌊🎥

🦈💙 Dan shares how he turned his love for sharks into a career — taking a very unconventional route to become one of the ocean’s biggest shark champions. 🏆

Meet Dan’s favourite shark, the epaulette shark — famous for its incredible ability to “walk” across reefs and out of rock pools to escape predators. 🪨🐚

🌊 Things get seriously intense as Dan and Sarah share one of their closest calls — caught in a powerful vortex current and later stranded out at sea in Japan without a boat. 🇯🇵🗾
