welcome to the world of amazing
underwater animals
Henry's log after months of exploring
the deepest reaches of space our heroic
Captain is heading home in his trusty
ship uh Henry who are you talking to ah
greetings fellow Earthling I the Great
Captain Henry have gone where no lizard
has gone before wow into outer space
that must have been real exciting
actually no no one else had gone there
before either
I didn't meet one strange new life form
so now I'm going home stand by for
re-entry hey what's with all the blue
stuff that's not home uh that would be
the
ocean I must have got my calculations
wrong you never were very good at
math uhoh green alert we're headed for
the
water better make that underwater Henry
you're
sinking
wa batten down the hatches reverse
engines and close that window Don't Run
Away Now Henry you wanted to meet
strange life forms and explore new
worlds underwater is just the
place excuse me on boring old Earth what
could be unexplored here only most of
the Planet 3 quars of it is covered in
water we know more about what's in space
than what's in our own oceans you mean
there might be aliens living down here
yikes or flying saucers with Tails no
those are Rays Henry flying saucers with
Ray g*ns even worse no bat Rays they're
not from outer space but like most
underwater animals they seem alien to us
because they're so different I'll say
there's one familiar
face Gul you can say that
again wao all underwater animals have
adapted to their unique environment with
their own ways of feeding getting around
and breathing well I won't breathe
easier until I find a way home
he
looks like you're having trouble there
Henry I'll never get home if I can't get
this tub under control how are you going
to travel down here traveling underwater
requires a special skill I do have a
license you
know hey it's working set a course for
home
don't you think some underwater driving
lessons would help first nah what do
I no fair you distracted me that doesn't
take much say it's those flying sorcer
Rays again bat Rays Henry though they do
kind of fly that's how they move around
underwater by flapping their wings and
gliding are they related to birds shark
actually but they often travel in groups
like a flock of birds the largest rays
are enormous wide enough to carry three
people laying head to
toe that's amazing look at them all it
often helps underwater animals to travel
in large groups cuz they get a group
discount on meals not exactly but it can
help them avoid becoming a meal it's
it's harder for predators to pick out
individuals from a huge school of fish
school so even fish need driving lessons
huh nope individual fish in a school or
group copy the movements of the others
changing direction in a Flash and by
swimming close behind one another the
water current pulls them along more
easily so they use less Energy Smart
fish of course some underwater animals
don't swim at all or even move don't bet
on it hey you speeded that film up and
those starfish must have little wheels
under there that's cheating starfish
actually have hundreds of little
tentacles under their bodies to pull
them around as they search for prey
looks like a wrestling match for
lunch excuse me what's that spider doing
underwater anyway it's a sea spider to
be precise a distant relative of land
spiders I can see that but what's he
doing the breast stroke who's supposed
to be the funny one around here
I don't know but when you find him tell
him there's still a
vacancy you
Henry Henry it's time for your news
report what now yes now out of my way
joural lizard coming through
tonight birds still sneezing after hay
fever
season and Cheeky Monkey tells press no
comment but now our top story
police stop fish stealing air from the
land after following a trail of red
herrings investigators discovered the
villain
responsible fish finger his plan
included putting all the air in
tanks hiding it
underwater and only letting fish breathe
from
it a case of air today gone tomorrow
police were tipped off when they found
fin prints on a getaway
vehicle but land animals can rest easy
tonight knowing
that fish finger is safely Behind Bars
looks like the scales of Justice Triumph
again you think they bought it you
couldn't even give it away
Henry let's
the truth is all underwater animals need
oxygen to breathe but only a few get it
from Air H I cut that Turtle stealing
air he's just coming up to the surface
for a breath even Turtles can't stay
underwater forever others like this
water scorpion are a little more
inventive that's amazing it's like he's
breathing through a snorkel very good
Henry and that spider has a diving
helmet say two out it
too have you been reading the scripts in
advance there's a first time for
everything then you'll know this spider
takes its own supply of air underwater
with it spinning a silk net to hold a
big bubble in which to breathe oh sure I
knew that I'm no
Airhead neither are fish like most
underwater animals they actually get
their oxygen by breathing water not air
H breathing water
sounds fishy to me no water has oxygen
in it too fish take in water and run it
through their gills where they filter
out the oxygen they need like lungs for
fish exactly some fish like this shark
need water constantly moving through
their gills in order to breathe at all
whoa slug alert nudie branks same to you
can you see where they breathe from
Henry it's hard to with all those spiky
things that is how they breathe nudie
Brank can absorb more oxygen by
breathing through their skin that's
amazing I wonder how you can tell when
they're holding their breath
our dashing hero speeds through his new
Underwater World searching for the way
home he is prepared for
anything his trusty ship is armed with
the latest anti-sea creature weapons
a shark repelling foam
Blaster an octopus ink jet spray and of
course the world's biggest water
cannon nothing will stand in the way of
our invis fizzy Invincible thanks
Invincible
hero my
hero uh excuse me
hello if you want the perfect underwater
fighting machine Henry look no further
than the shark now where did I put my
Shark propelling it wouldn't work sharks
were hunting 200 million years before
the dinosaurs were even around and
they've gotten pretty good at
it which makes you wonder why these guys
are jumping in with them really we know
so little about sharks getting closer is
the only way we can learn
more what's to learn sharks are big
they've got unlimited teeth and they can
smell their prey from up to 10 Mi away
that's true see the only thing i' need
to learn is how to get away from them
faster sharks don't really deserve such
a bad reputation right that's why these
guys are hiding in a cage oh most of the
time sharks are just as scared of you as
you are of them they must be pretty
scared then because I'm
terrified often the Sharks you see on
film have been baited with fish and meat
so they'll attack and look scary for the
camera mostly they live on smaller
prey hey I'm still smaller than that
fish
the octopus also has an amazing range of
weapons up his sleeve which one the left
one the right one the top one smart
guy and he's going to need them octo Guy
versus mad Mor eel the octopus uses
suckers on his tentacles to grip the
rock firm for the fight but the eel
strong jaw is just as
powerful cool he used a smoke screen the
octopus sprays ink to confuse it's
attacker and Escape but it might be too
late no it's a tug of
w*r and oct the guy wins he may have
lost a tentacle but he's not completely
armless ha
sucker get it sucker oh good grief
where are you going Henry this doesn't
look like the way home to me I I'm not
sure it's very deep
here excuse me what is that looks like
you found a
shipwreck I must be hearing things
nothing could be living in there you'd
be surprised Henry hundreds or even
thousands of underwater creatures make
their homes in wrecks and caves
hey it's my old friend crab
Tuesday where you
going I think you found crab Tuesday's
home Henry this is where his whole
family
lives yeah cool hey live in a
shipwreck oh what's the matter oh you're
feeling homesick aren't you yeah I miss
my mom and my toys and my pizza I know
Coral Reef
what you mean Henry it might not be your
idea of comfort but coral reefs provide
a natural home for underwater animals
nearly a third of the world's fish live
on them the views not much the roof
leaks Why move here reefs are actually
living structures made of thousands or
millions of tiny Coral animals growing
on top of one another they are rich
source of food hiding places and
breeding grounds so convenient shopping
safe for bringing up kids what are the
schools like get it schools fish did
someone tell a joke or am I Herring
things holy mackerel this doesn't look
like it was made by animals sunken ships
make instant artificial reefs for sea
creatures what once carried people or
cargo now shelters fish seaweed coral
and crab Tuesday's
family it's sad for people that ship
sink but the underwater animals must be
happy to have a new house yeah as long
as it's not filled with
oil now where are we
going hey who turn out the
lights is that a glow-in-the-dark worm
or a map of the Milky Way we're at the
very bottom of the ocean Henry but
surely nothing can live down here
there's no light you were saying
what is that those lights are another
amazing underwater animal but how do
they light up like that there's no
electricity in the sea it's called
bioluminescence which means that animals
create their own light to see with
monsters nope just another of the
strange creatures that live in the
depths one of the few I guess I mean who
could live in all this cold and dark no
one knows for sure the Deep floor of the
ocean is the largest living space face
on the planet what lives there is
largely a mystery maybe animals even
Stranger Than This the gernard cool a
walking fish those aren't really legs
Henry they're feelers with taste buds on
the end that it uses to find food in the
darkness that's amazing my mom always
tells me to use a knife and fork
Golden Gecko
[Music]
and Now ladies and gentle lizards it's
time for Henry's amazing golden gecko
Awards the winners of my all-time best
amazing underwater animal
are in third place is the shark the most
amazing scary underwater animal and one
of the oldest
too in second place is the water
scorpion which isn't a scorpion at all
but a bug that that breathes through a
tail like a snorkel but the winner of my
golden geckle award is the
Golden Squid
squid these amazing underwater animals
are among the fastest in the sea they
Zoom around by sucking in water and
blowing it out again like a jet engine
does with air and like what you do with
pizza they also live in amazing numbers
hunting eating and raising their
families in massive shs
[Music]
the most amazing thing is the squid moms
and dads they put everything they've got
into having kids and I mean
[Music]
everything the female squid laid
thousands of eggs in a kind of communal
nursy
then having used up all their energy
making sure their kids are all right the
squid die they do but who looks after
the eggs they grow up all on their own
oh they're orphans who will protect them
from Hungry Fish it's okay their parents
can still help
them with so many dead adults for
predators to feed on the baby squid will
be left alone
because squid parents do such a great
job giving their baby jet engines a
start in life they win my golden gecko
award for the most amazing underwater
animal I name this country Henry land
and hereby claim it for lizards
everywhere
what are you doing Henry I'm founding a
new Colony right here in the ocean A
Home of the Brave Land of the Free land
of the completely inhabited what do you
mean I thought you said the ocean was
barely explored by humans sure but other
land animals have been in the ocean for
millions of years what you mean I don't
get to be king or president or anything
I'm afraid not Henry so where are these
land animals anyway huh
oh are you okay where did they come from
Sea Lions
sea lions are descended from land
animals and are actually related to
bears but millions of years ago their
diet of fish meant they spent more and
more time in the water slowly they
adapted to marine life and their bodies
changed becoming more streamlined sea
lions can now swim at speeds of up to 40
m an hour wow I guess their kids don't
have to go to swimming lessons then huh
they do in fact no way way newborn seals
and sea lions can't swim so their
mothers have to give birth on land and
teach
them and catch a few Rays by the looks
of
it sea lions aren't the warm-blooded
mammals best adapted to life underwater
though that honor belongs to whales and
dolphins
but those are fish not mammals no Henry
they are mammals just like sea lions
they're descended from land animals but
the bodies of whales and dolphins have
completely adapted to life in the
[Music]
oceans their for liims turned into
flippers and their nostrils their
nostrils started on the front of their
face and moved to the top of their head
must make it hard to blow their noses
but easier to breathe they can keep
their body IES underwater and just poke
their blow hole above the surface all
these land animals at least I'm the
first lizard to colonize the ocean hey
sorry Henry you were beaten by these
guys marine iguanas the only lizards
truly at home in the sea yeah well I'm
the one with the cool
submarine marine iguanas don't need one
they can hold their breath for up to 20
minutes by reducing their heart rate
this allows allows them to feed
underwater where they live almost
entirely on seaweed
seaweed y if that's what it takes to
live in the oceans I'm glad I'm a land
lizard his long journey ended our
amazing hero returns home triumphant I'm
impressed Henry you overcame alien sea
creatures deadly water currents
mysterious shipwrecks and now you're
home at last uh oh yeah it was
nothing uh Henry yeah do you mean huh
don't tell me what you're amazing H
thanks but I'd rather leave the oceans
to those real amazing underwater animals
[Music]
