The Netflix camera crew's boat was attacked by two 15-foot-long tiger sharks, reports say. "But the first day the tiger sharks were around, the crew got into these inflatable boats — and two sharks attacked them. "This 'v' of water came streaming towards us, and this tiger shark leapt at the boat and bit huge holes in it. Ron Sanford/Getty ImagesDespite the crew's terrifying experience, the chances of being attacked by a shark are extremely low, Insider recently reported. The new Netflix series examines animal migration patterns and the impact of climate change on the natural world.

A pod of orcas rammed a yacht off the Spanish coast, destroying the rudder and piercing the hull. The crew was forced to make a Mayday call for assistance when the boat began to fill with water. Earlier this week, a pod of orcas rammed into the Mustique, destroying the yacht's rudder and piercing the hull. In an Instagram post on Saturday, Boyes added that interactions with orcas can be "quite terrifying." Boyes urged that more research into the "beautiful creatures" needs to be done, especially as the attacks are increasingly common.

Killer whales near the Iberian peninsula are colliding with, and sinking, boats. Researchers think they may be imitating the behavior of a single female named White Gladis. In these encounters, the orcas' behavior generally follows the same pattern: approaching the back of the ship and hitting the rudder until successfully causing the boat to stop. They keep apart," Trites said, noting that orca populations represent different ecotypes that eat different foods and display different behaviors. Or, Trites said, the killer whales might just get bored with the boats and stop taking part.
