As Puck grows bigger with her unborn calf, she hunts alone out in areas notorious for tiger sharks. However, it is only when she is alone like this that Puck does something truly remarkable: talk to her unborn baby.

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 camera to eavesdrop on the Beachies' underwater lives, this moving story follows Puck and 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.
