Discovery’s Shark Week 2012 begins Sunday, August 12, with another entry in the popular “Air Jaws” series. The “Air Jaws” episodes are well-known for featuring South Africa’s breaching white sharks. Discovery has released a preview clip of “Air Jaws Apocalypse” featuring Colossus, one of Seal Island’s larger white sharks, as she takes on a camera-equipped robotic seal decoy.

In the battle of a robo-seal versus a great white shark, you probably don’t want to bet on the robo-seal.

“Air Jaws Apocalypse” premieres Sunday, August 12, 2012 at 9PM on the Discovery Channel.

ABC News recently spoke with Cape Cod shark attack survivor, Chris Myers, who is recovering at a Boston hospital from injuries to his lower legs. Myers and his son J.J. were swimming through “deeper water” trying to get to a sand bar off of Truro’s Ballston Beach when the attack occurred.

Myers seemed to be in good spirits as he and his son described the events following the attack. Myers said he was worried about his ability to swim back to shore after having been bitten, but thankfully he was able to make the swim. He told ABC that he’s doing “quite terrific” considering the circumstances and hopes to return the water one day.

Dr. Greg Skomal of the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries told ABC that the shark involved was likely a great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias). White sharks are known to travel to Cape Cod waters during the summer months. The growing gray seal (Halichoerus grypus) populations in the area provide a natural food source for white sharks, which might be drawing the sharks closer to the beaches.

The Guardian is reporting that an order to hunt down bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) around Réunion Island has been revoked, due to the fact that the order could be in violation of French conservation laws.

St Leu mayor, Thierry Robert MP, had issued the shark hunting order earlier in the week after a surfer was killed by what was believed to be a bull shark. The order called on fishermen to hunt bull sharks “by any means.” The ordered offered a bounty €2/kg of live weight for each of the first 30 sharks brought in.

After meeting with France’s minister of overseas territories, Mayor Robert revoked the order due to legal concerns. French law does not allow for hunting or fishing “by any means” in protected marine areas.
