Tree squirrels are quite common in suburban backyards. So much so that their extraordinary behaviors can easily go unnoticed. Not only do squirrels survive and co-habitat with man, but they appear to thrive in our shared spaces. "Super Squirrel" examines the mental and physical attributes that make it all possible. Squirrels cache and hoard food to prepare for hard times but any time away from the safety of the canopy is spent negotiating natural and man-made dangers - often in competition with rival squirrels. As we analyzed each skill and put to the test, we discover how an everyday rodent morphs to become a Super Squirrel.

Every diver has been warned: sharks feed at night. Is this simply a myth, or does the truth lurk somewhere deep beneath the waves? Professional shark diver Eli Martinez and scientist Matthew Smukall plunge into the nighttime world of Tiger Beach to investigate whether shark behavior changes once the sun goes down. After observing different characteristics that make tiger sharks such excellent predators, they'll attempt to outfit the mighty beasts with an advanced camera system, a difficult -and dangerous- task that necessitates putting the sharks into a hypnotic-like state of tonic immobility. They hope the cameras will capture never-before-seen footage of nighttime tiger shark activity, finally putting to bed the mysteries and misunderstandings that too often surround these animals.
