A five and a half minute video segment from Catalyst that explains why Grey Nurse Sharks are in danger, especially on Australia's east coast where only a few hundred individuals are thought to exist. However, in a world first, researchers at the NSW Department of Primary Industries have built an artificial uterus, which scientists believe will one day boost offspring numbers of Grey Nurse Sharks. This is hoped to increase the reproductive capacity by eliminating inter-uterine cannibalism that occurs in this species.
