Sperm Whale Calf 🐋 Asia: Beneath the Waves (2024)

This baby sperm whale plays with a mangrove seed practicing his coordination. He produces pulses of high frequency sound from his large head; sonar that will eventually enable him to locate prey in the black depths. Zeroing in on a tiny seed is great practice. When you're as big as this, grabbing something the size of a pencil is not easy.

Epaulette Shark 🦈Natural World S36E04 "Nature's Miniature Miracles"

The tide goes out twice a day, changing the conditions of the reef dramatically. As the water departs, so do the big sharks as it's now too shallow for them to survive in. The small epaulette takes advantage of this brief moment in the reef's life cycle. No longer at risk of being someone else's dinner, it can focus on finding its own.
