Dave Ebert is known as the ‘Lost Shark Guy’ and throughout his career he has searched for, and frequently found, those unknown or little-known sharks, rays and ghost sharks that most people know almost nothing about. How did I get interested in sharks? It started with his parents who gave me a book when he was about five years old. Thumbing through the pages and looking at the various illustrations, he thought these were the coolest critters he had ever seen! He was hooked at an early age and decided to make it my lifelong passion to travel and search for these unusual sharks.
He has always been an explorer at heart and what better way to explore the world than to travel and search for ‘lost sharks’! ‘What is a “lost shark”?’ you might ask. It is basically most species except for those charismatic ones, such as the white shark, that feature in numerous documentaries and in shark attack horror movies. With the exception of Shark Week’s successful Alien Shark< and Extinct or Alive series that feature rare species such as the megamouth and goblin sharks, most shows of this nature only feature the large, toothy variety of sharks. he made it his mission to search for, discover and document the ‘lost sharks’.
