l Notes
Episode 1 The Blue Planet
Most of the marine realm is still hidden in an unknown mystery. This episode will take a look at the entire series, introduce the different categories of the ocean, and fully expose the size, power and complexity of the ocean. Explore the physical and biological forces of ocean operations, and explain how it affects the geographic location where life gathers.
As the largest animal in the ocean, the blue whale depends on one of the smallest creatures in the ocean-krill, a crustacean with a length of only a few centimeters.
A blue whale can eat 40 million krill in one day.
The Pacific Ocean alone covers half of the earth.
In terms of capacity, the ocean occupies 97% of the earth's habitable land.
The distribution of marine life depends on the direction of the nutrient-rich ocean currents and the intensity of sunlight.
Hammerhead sharks gather into the largest group of sharks in the ocean, sometimes thousands.
The waters of Antarctica are the most sinister on earth.
Most of the time, the birds on the sea are quite scattered.
The Jason Minaret is a remote island located on the west side of the Falkland Islands. It has the largest albatross habitat in the world.
Plankton is the foundation of all marine life.

A hagfish can eat rotten flesh several times its body weight within a few hours.
Episode 2The Deep
In all marine ecology, the deep sea is still the most mysterious place. In the dark and blurred world, animals are all playing hide-and-seek. Many creatures are invisible, hoping to avoid the enemy silently and hide in the darkness. In order to obtain rare food, predators have large mouths and teeth, hiding on the side of the road, waiting like a mousetrap; prey is delivered to the door.
There are more people who have been to space than those who have been to the bottom of the deep sea.
The most extensive net of death is set by the tube jellyfish.

The gray sixgill shark is a living fossil and has not changed for 150 million years.
This gray whale carcass that fell into the deep sea can be eaten by scavengers there for several years.

At present, only 5 submarines in the world can dive into the ocean basin, and they have explored only 1% of the basin.
We all know more about the surface of the moon than the ocean basins.
In the very center of the ocean basin, there is the largest geographical structure on the earth-the mid-ocean ridge-and it is also the largest mountain range on the earth.
On the sea surface, water turns into water vapor at 100 degrees. But on the ocean floor, under tremendous pressure, the water remains in a liquid state even at a high temperature of 400 degrees.
Pompeii can tolerate high temperatures above 80 degrees and is currently the most heat-resistant animal known.
Episode 3Open Ocean
Searching for the footprints of life in the vast sea, stretching out in all directions toward the infinite blue sea. In this ocean desert, the sunlight above cannot penetrate, and the dark abyss below. The endless sea seems barren, but it is incredible that many of the strangest predators live here. The clumps of seaweed provide the best shelter for fish, but also make them a fast food for predators.
The survival rate of juvenile yellowfin tuna may be only one in a million.
Sailfish is one of the fastest fish in the ocean.

For the first time, we compare the severity and hardships of the South and North Pole. Here, the annual freezing and thawing of the ocean dominate the rhythm of life. The temperature in winter will drop sharply to minus 70 degrees Celsius. Only in spring will it be slightly relieved, when the sun is shining, plankton will emerge and provide nutrients for many creatures; after a short rest, the ice will follow the fall The storm is making a comeback.
Beluga whales can hold their breath for up to 20 minutes.
For polar bears, keeping their hair free of salt is the key to keeping warm. They use snow as a descaling paper.
In winter and early spring, arctic foxes rely entirely on polar bears for their prey.

Leopard seals, like polar bears in Antarctica, are the most powerful predators in Antarctica.
Aware of the existence of leopard seals, the penguins crowded in groups on the edge of the ice, and no one wanted to venture into the water first.
Episode 5 Seasonal Seas
As the season changes, this episode will explore the impact of solar energy changes on marine life. We will advance to the richest marine ecology: a mild ocean. Water is the most important energy source, and huge seagrass forests provide shelter for thousands of animals. Kaize, the panicked seven-color anemone, squid, Aoba dragon, etc., are some examples of living in this cool and fertile water.
Seasonal seas are the most productive oceans on the planet.

Dolphins mostly forage at night, and during the day they concentrate on socializing.
Every winter, 500 million tons of adult herring seek refuge in the deep sea.
Episode 6 Coral Seas
Bathed in the warm, sunny and clear tropical seas, coral reefs become tropical rainforests in the ocean and oasis of seabed deserts. A wide variety of fish compete for beauty and compete for survival in the reef. In addition to providing shelter for fish, corals are also full of vitality. This is a story about corals: the formation of coral reefs to the end, and even catastrophic destruction.
Of all the oceans, the warm waters of the tropics have the richest and most colorful biota.

A strong storm can destroy the entire coral reef.
Episode 7 Between the Tides (Tidal Seas)
The rise and fall of tides dominate marine life, and control the place and time of biological reproduction. The tidal swamp is the most fertile place in the world. The abundant plants support a large number of creatures, but life is still hard. Predators are patrolling the main swamp anytime and anywhere, and the animals are exposed when the water ebbs, forcing them to continue to migrate to find shelter. They can only breathe a sigh of relief when the tide rises again.
The waves in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia, are the strongest in the world.
The right whale is the fastest whale.

At the speed of Conch World, Helix runs like a Ferrari.
The tide is the rhythm of the sea and its metronome.
Episode 8 Changeable Coastline (Coasts)
Beyond the boundary of the tide, it may be the most vital world in the ocean. The tide is constant, only a few creatures will grow up here, most of the other creatures have to return to the coast from the sea to breed the next generation. Seabirds, turtles and even certain fish will come ashore to lay eggs. Sea lions come ashore to give birth to attract killer whales to ride the waves and make them a staple of the next meal.
The coastline is the border between land and sea, and it is also the most dynamic zone of marine ecology.
The large lizards of the Galapagos Islands are the only lizards in the world that are proficient in water.
Male turtles stay in the sea all their lives, but female turtles need to go ashore to lay eggs.
Only 1% of baby turtles can live to adulthood.
Ninety-five percent of the seabirds on the earth build nests, and most of them form huge and spectacular settlements.

The coldest sea on earth is in Antarctica.
In areas with denser settlements, one-fifth of the baby walruses are crushed to death by their own people every year.
l Short comment
We know that 90% of the world is a vast ocean, and the breadth of the ocean lies in his mind. In such a huge ocean, it follows the most natural and simple rule, that is, the weak will feed on the strong, the fittest will survive the survival of the fittest, and the fittest will survive. The reproduction of living things becomes the basis for the survival of offspring. However, in such a process, killing and death are inevitable.
After tens of thousands of long years and tens of thousands of biological evolutions, many marine creatures finally reached the land and evolved into terrestrial creatures, and after tens of thousands of evolutions, mankind was born! As a member of human beings, we must always remember to respect nature, return to nature, protect nature, and return to the most essential state of nature. This is an important prerequisite for our harmonious coexistence on this earth, and it is also the birth of our ancestors on the blue planet. The simplest home.
