In an episode of the London and Whipsnade Zoos Wildest Moments podcast, released during World Ocean Month, adventurer and broadcaster Ben Fogle spoke to Megan McCubbin about a starlit night spent tagging tiger sharks.
Joined by Dr David Curnick from ZSL’s Ocean Predators Lab, Ben led a discussion between Megan and the marine expert, exploring the critical role these often-misunderstood apex predators play in protecting the health and balance of vital marine ecosystems, and the work ZSL is doing to protect shark species, from Angel sharks to Tope sharks, in UK waters and beyond.
The Wildest Moments series uncovers extraordinary human-wildlife stories from conservationists, scientists and storytellers, revealing how powerful encounters with wildlife can transform perspectives on the natural world. A new episode drops on the third Thursday of every month until the end of 2026. Follow ZSL on Spotify to receive a notification each time an episode goes live.
