The Blue Planet is a documentary about the history of the oceans on our planet. We’re going to cover each episode separately, this is the third.
The open ocean
Open Ocean
This episode gives you a real respect for the sheer size of the ocean. Most of ocean life huddles around the shores of Earth’s continents, yet that doesn’t mean there isn’t life in the middle of it.
Food is much harder to come by, and being that as it is, only the very big and very fast animals can survive in the open ocean. Sail fish, marlins, and dolphins are some of the more common large fish and mammals that you will find out in the middle of the ocean.
This guy is fast
The speed of some of the animals in the open ocean is staggering. As you’ll see in later episodes, some of the worlds largest animals are also the worlds quickest in the ocean. I can’t wait to watch the next episode.
Pick up a copy of The Blue Planet on DVD at Amazon, you’ll not regret it.
