Taken From Blue Planet II
This bold cinematic experience takes viewers on a magical adventure across the greatest, yet least known, parts of our planet - our oceans. Since Blue Planet aired in 2001, our understanding of life beneath the waves has completely changed. Travelling from the icy polar seas to the vibrant blues of the coral atolls, this series shares these astonishing new discoveries. Meet the strange octopuses lurking in the depths of the Antarctic Ocean. Watch giant trevally fish leap to catch birds in mid-air. And ride on the back of a hammerhead shark as it attacks. Inspiring awe and wonder, Blue Planet II reveals surprising new places, charismatic new characters and extraordinary new behaviours.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

Great work to the film crew and any engineers/scientists. Also great work to David Attenborough for being the stunning and punctual narration of the film. Blue Planet was one of the first shows/projects to really peak my interest and wonder of the ocean.

That's fantastic to hear! Studying marine biology and scientific scuba diving at HSU is a wonderful path towards exploring the mysteries of the ocean. Being behind the camera or aboard a research vessel allows you to witness firsthand the incredible creatures that have evolved in these underwater realms. The film crew, engineers, and scientists play vital roles in capturing and understanding the wonders of the ocean. And indeed, David Attenborough's narration in Blue Planet has inspired countless individuals, like yourself, to develop a deep interest and wonder for the ocean. Keep up the great work and continue to follow your passion for marine biology!

@@francismarion6400 Maybe they didn't. Maybe the ones that already had eyes moved down from the zone with light, to the zone without light and then their eyes re-evolved to get even more sensitive, or completely useless.
@raccoon5824 11 ай бұрын
@@francismarion6400 So there are many deep sea fish that can actually still use their eyes and have adapted to having a very small amount of light that is present in their environment. While deeper parts of the ocean seem extremely dark to us, there are many species of fish that have adapted eyesight that can capture the little light that remains. There is also bioluminescence in the deep sea that can be captured by their eyes. A lot of prey like jellyfish, krill, and plankton utilize bioluminescence as an efficient way to communicate with mates, attract prey, or escape predators in the darkness of the oceans. You will notice that deep sea fish tend to have very large eyes, highly attuned to the faint glow and twinkle given off by other creatures. Unique chemical and physical adaptations are common in deep sea creatures but it's how they have evolved in order to successfully survive via hunting, finding mates, and traversing the depths.

Deep sea animals are fascinating! Our camera crew talked to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, the pioneer of deep ocean exploration, and their amazing findings, including the barrel eye fish and one of the few dragonfish ever to have been seen alive. What's extremely interesting is to see and understand how scientists are able to capture these creatures and analyse their light-making abilities. Thanks to that, we were able to understand the three reasons why these creatures use bioluminescence.

In this dark and frigid region, incredible creatures thrive with adaptations to withstand immense pressure. Bioluminescent organisms light up the abyss, while elusive predators like the fangtooth and vampire squid lurk in the shadows. The midnight zone holds untold wonders waiting to be discovered by intrepid explorers.

@@francismarion6400 The first organisms on Earth did not possess complex eyes like those seen in modern animals. Instead, they likely had light-sensitive cells that allowed them to differentiate between light and darkness. These light-sensitive cells eventually evolved into more elaborate structures, such as simple eye spots or clusters of light-sensitive cells. The evolution of complex eyes can be attributed to natural selection, which favored organisms with better visual capabilities. Animals with the ability to detect light could gather information about their environment, identify predators or prey, and navigate more effectively. This conferred a significant advantage in terms of survival and reproductive success.
