These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:11,303 --> 00:00:14,765 An ancient tale foretells that our planet 2 00:00:14,932 --> 00:00:19,228 and its future rest on a turtle's back. 3 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,359 If we lose the turtle, 4 00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:27,402 there would be no earth, 5 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,446 No US. 6 00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:45,754 Today, the story of a sea turtle's life is just as profound. 7 00:00:48,131 --> 00:00:50,592 On Australia's Great Barrier Reef, 8 00:00:51,802 --> 00:00:53,512 there's a tropical beach 9 00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:56,765 where one tiny turtle's big adventure 10 00:00:58,183 --> 00:00:59,726 is about to begin. 11 00:01:29,381 --> 00:01:33,969 This is Bun“. 12 00:01:42,853 --> 00:01:45,147 She's a green sea turtle 13 00:01:49,234 --> 00:01:52,112 and today is her birthday. 14 00:01:56,325 --> 00:01:59,161 Out of the hundred eggs she shared a nest with, 15 00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:03,540 She's the very last hatchling to emerge. 16 00:02:07,085 --> 00:02:10,422 It will take Bunji a few days to make it above ground, 17 00:02:10,589 --> 00:02:12,466 and join the other newborns 18 00:02:12,633 --> 00:02:14,259 making their way to the water. 19 00:02:16,845 --> 00:02:19,264 And when Bunji finally breaks free, 20 00:02:24,728 --> 00:02:27,272 she too has to make a run for the ocean 21 00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:28,815 Up where she comes from, 22 00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:32,319 Bunji is an indigenous Australian word for friend. 23 00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:33,904 And she needs one, 24 00:02:34,071 --> 00:02:37,616 because the first thing a baby turtle sees 25 00:02:39,284 --> 00:02:42,120 is something that wants to eat it. 26 00:02:45,248 --> 00:02:47,501 Bunji's parents are roaming the ocean, 27 00:02:48,543 --> 00:02:51,755 meaning she'll have to fend for herself. 28 00:02:58,095 --> 00:03:00,013 The odds are against her. 29 00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:04,393 And as if the birds weren't enough, 30 00:03:05,977 --> 00:03:09,356 ghost crabs haunt the water's edge. 31 00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:17,864 Bunji's going to need all the luck she can get. 32 00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:50,564 But it's not much safer in the water. 33 00:03:51,773 --> 00:03:54,693 Just one in every thousand hatchlings 34 00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:56,778 will survive to maturity. 35 00:04:04,077 --> 00:04:06,955 It will take all of Bunji's turtle instincts 36 00:04:07,122 --> 00:04:09,332 to make it through, in one piece. 37 00:04:12,294 --> 00:04:15,756 Sea turtles have an amazing ability to... 38 00:04:19,050 --> 00:04:21,052 Oh. Mm. 39 00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:30,061 Phew. And all that in just the first five minutes. 40 00:04:30,687 --> 00:04:32,981 If Bunji makes it to adulthood, 41 00:04:33,148 --> 00:04:36,443 she could live to be over 100 years old. 42 00:04:38,361 --> 00:04:39,780 And in that lifetime, 43 00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:43,784 she will swim many thousands of miles, 44 00:04:44,075 --> 00:04:46,036 meet incredible creatures, 45 00:04:47,412 --> 00:04:49,956 and have some really wild encounters. 46 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,130 Welcome to Turtle Odyssey. 47 00:05:31,581 --> 00:05:34,501 It's Bunji's first night in the vast ocean. 48 00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:37,712 She is small and all alone. 49 00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:42,968 It's all a bit spooky. 50 00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:49,599 She must learn where danger lurks. 51 00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:56,815 Unlike this cuttlefish, 52 00:05:57,023 --> 00:06:00,235 Bunji isn't as easily camouflaged. 53 00:06:03,738 --> 00:06:07,409 She must discover who's friend, 54 00:06:11,621 --> 00:06:13,081 who's foe, 55 00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:20,297 and who's just passing through. 56 00:06:27,888 --> 00:06:29,848 Let's hope she gets it right. 57 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,479 Bunji is following her instincts to swim out to open water, 58 00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:40,317 just like marine turtles have for millions of years. 59 00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:48,533 Sea turtle highways criss cross the oceans. 60 00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:53,538 Tracking the seven different species reveals 61 00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:55,749 it's a turtle planet. 62 00:06:56,708 --> 00:07:00,420 In their lifetime, some turtles, like the leatherback, 63 00:07:00,587 --> 00:07:03,465 will travel over half a million miles, 64 00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:08,345 that's like swimming to the moon and back. 65 00:07:11,056 --> 00:07:15,977 Little Bunji is now 300 miles off the east coast of Australia, 66 00:07:17,479 --> 00:07:20,106 a long way from where she was born. 67 00:07:26,863 --> 00:07:27,906 For years, 68 00:07:28,073 --> 00:07:30,617 no one knew where baby turtles went 69 00:07:30,784 --> 00:07:33,411 or how they travelled across the great oceans 70 00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:36,706 until now. 71 00:07:37,916 --> 00:07:42,253 It turns out they were hitching rides on rafts of seaweed 72 00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:43,964 and Bunji's found one. 73 00:08:06,569 --> 00:08:10,156 Below, reef sharks and other large fish prowl. 74 00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:14,160 All hungry for a tasty turtle treat. 75 00:08:16,663 --> 00:08:19,708 But Bunji is happy in her floating fortress. 76 00:08:19,874 --> 00:08:22,919 It's safe and warm, and if she's hungry, 77 00:08:23,086 --> 00:08:25,046 she can even take a bite. 78 00:08:29,551 --> 00:08:32,220 Bunji will catch many of these free rides. 79 00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:37,100 As the years go by, 80 00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:40,103 she'll be carried along by the ocean currents. 81 00:08:41,062 --> 00:08:42,605 She'll get bigger, 82 00:08:42,772 --> 00:08:44,274 and bigger, 83 00:08:44,441 --> 00:08:45,483 and bigger. 84 00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:51,239 Until she's so big, 85 00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:52,824 she's large enough 86 00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:55,035 to leave her seaweed sanctuary 87 00:08:55,326 --> 00:08:59,831 and continue her journey swimming out across the open sea. 88 00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:31,404 Bunji is now a teenager, with attitude. 89 00:09:32,113 --> 00:09:34,991 Because of her bigger size, and hard shell, 90 00:09:35,158 --> 00:09:38,203 she's tough enough to head back to the shallows. 91 00:09:39,621 --> 00:09:42,957 Bunji is now over 600 miles south 92 00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:44,501 from where she was born 93 00:09:44,667 --> 00:09:47,378 and has found a pacific island paradise. 94 00:09:58,389 --> 00:10:02,519 This is the remote Lord Howe island. 95 00:10:18,076 --> 00:10:21,204 Here, the rich East Australian Current 96 00:10:21,371 --> 00:10:23,748 lifts cool waters from the sea floor 97 00:10:23,915 --> 00:10:25,625 packed with nutrients. 98 00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:28,795 They mix and collect in the lagoon, 99 00:10:29,796 --> 00:10:31,714 it's teeming with life. 100 00:10:46,688 --> 00:10:50,024 Coral reefs support millions of species. 101 00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:55,822 This is one of the most bio-diverse ecosystems 102 00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:57,323 on the planet. 103 00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:02,579 The perfect place for Bunji to take a bit of a break. 104 00:11:10,295 --> 00:11:11,880 And have a snack. 105 00:11:17,135 --> 00:11:20,180 Although she has no teeth, her beak is perfect 106 00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:23,016 for pecking tiny algae off the coral. 107 00:11:24,267 --> 00:11:26,227 Keeping the coral clean 108 00:11:26,394 --> 00:11:29,022 makes turtles a keystone species 109 00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:31,941 as countless other species depend on healthy coral 110 00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:33,860 for their survival. 111 00:11:38,031 --> 00:11:40,033 She also eats sea grass, 112 00:11:42,327 --> 00:11:43,912 lots of it. 113 00:11:45,914 --> 00:11:47,582 Unlike some teenagers, 114 00:11:47,749 --> 00:11:49,626 Bunji loves her greens. 115 00:11:55,673 --> 00:11:57,425 She's got a big appetite. 116 00:11:57,592 --> 00:12:00,303 Luckily, all this turtle trimming 117 00:12:00,470 --> 00:12:02,639 allows fresh shoots to grow. 118 00:12:08,269 --> 00:12:11,231 It's just another way she keeps the ocean healthy 119 00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:13,274 and creates a perfect pasture 120 00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:16,653 for one of the ocean's most mysterious creatures. 121 00:12:23,826 --> 00:12:27,914 The lives of dugongs and turtles are intimately linked, 122 00:12:28,164 --> 00:12:30,667 part of a much larger ecosystem 123 00:12:30,833 --> 00:12:33,753 where one species depends on another. 124 00:12:35,129 --> 00:12:38,299 These dugongs, or sea cows, are fortunate. 125 00:12:42,553 --> 00:12:44,389 They love eating the roots exposed 126 00:12:44,555 --> 00:12:46,391 by the turtle trimming. 127 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,626 As the years pass, 128 00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:15,878 Bunji loves to munch on something else 129 00:13:16,045 --> 00:13:17,964 in this pacific island lagoon. 130 00:13:21,676 --> 00:13:23,303 It's a sea salp. 131 00:13:24,887 --> 00:13:28,141 Sea salps look like blobs of jellyfish, 132 00:13:28,391 --> 00:13:29,517 but they're not. 133 00:13:30,435 --> 00:13:32,895 They're one of the oldest creatures in the sea, 134 00:13:33,604 --> 00:13:37,317 one of the first to develop a central nervous system. 135 00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:40,695 They're an ancient ancestor of almost 136 00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:43,364 all complex life on the earth, 137 00:13:44,198 --> 00:13:45,616 including us, 138 00:13:46,242 --> 00:13:48,828 and Bunji finds them rather tasty. 139 00:13:50,788 --> 00:13:52,623 Bunji has been feeding up 140 00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:54,709 for her long journey ahead. 141 00:13:56,127 --> 00:13:57,337 Now an adult, 142 00:13:57,503 --> 00:14:00,882 she's feeling the call to leave her island paradise 143 00:14:01,049 --> 00:14:03,176 and head toward the mainland 144 00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:05,553 across the vast open sea. 145 00:14:13,728 --> 00:14:17,648 It's an incredible journey of over 500 miles. 146 00:14:24,864 --> 00:14:28,701 The ocean covers over 70% of our planet. 147 00:14:29,827 --> 00:14:32,121 It's the world's richest environment, 148 00:14:34,582 --> 00:14:38,544 yet in places seems completely devoid of life. 149 00:14:42,757 --> 00:14:47,178 Bunji will swim through these watery deserts alone. 150 00:14:51,307 --> 00:14:53,309 When she does meet other creatures, 151 00:14:53,476 --> 00:14:55,561 they'll be travelling in groups. 152 00:14:59,941 --> 00:15:03,569 It's a smart evolutionary survival strategy. 153 00:15:04,987 --> 00:15:08,032 After all, there's safety in numbers. 154 00:15:11,536 --> 00:15:13,538 Traveling the ocean solo 155 00:15:13,704 --> 00:15:17,041 Is a risk she'll have to take. 156 00:15:41,649 --> 00:15:44,485 An ancient instinct is calling Bunji. 157 00:15:50,074 --> 00:15:52,577 There's still a long way to go, 158 00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:58,958 but she is exquisitely evolved for undersea travel. 159 00:16:04,547 --> 00:16:06,924 Her buoyancy is so fine-tuned, 160 00:16:07,091 --> 00:16:09,760 she moves with the absolute minimum effort. 161 00:16:12,138 --> 00:16:16,434 Perfectly balanced, she is weightless in her water world. 162 00:16:28,404 --> 00:16:31,532 Sea turtles cruised the ancient oceans 163 00:16:31,699 --> 00:16:34,035 over 100 million years ago. 164 00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:41,417 Since then, they have remained anatomically unchanged. 165 00:16:45,963 --> 00:16:51,427 Bunji is prehistoric perfection, on a mission. 166 00:16:53,888 --> 00:16:56,766 Strangely, for such an ancient creature, 167 00:16:56,933 --> 00:16:59,060 the biggest threat to her survival 168 00:16:59,227 --> 00:17:01,187 is a relative newcomer. 169 00:17:07,443 --> 00:17:08,861 Humans. 170 00:17:16,202 --> 00:17:18,829 From traditional fishermen catching them with their hands, 171 00:17:18,996 --> 00:17:20,957 to commercial fishing vessels 172 00:17:21,666 --> 00:17:23,417 often catching them as unintended 173 00:17:23,584 --> 00:17:25,628 bycatch in their thousands, 174 00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:30,383 a quick getaway speed is her only defense. 175 00:17:35,972 --> 00:17:37,932 There's still much work to be done 176 00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:39,767 to protect turtles from humans. 177 00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:44,480 In the last four decades, 178 00:17:44,647 --> 00:17:47,316 the number of turtles injured by boats has tripled. 179 00:17:59,579 --> 00:18:03,040 And one new threat is looming ever larger. 180 00:18:05,001 --> 00:18:08,838 In the stomachs of half of all sea turtles 181 00:18:09,005 --> 00:18:12,508 is plastic waste, and it's really hurting them. 182 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,177 Turtles have a problem telling the difference 183 00:18:15,344 --> 00:18:19,056 between plastic and one of their major food sources, 184 00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:21,017 jellyfish. 185 00:18:21,684 --> 00:18:23,853 Don't eat it, Bunji. 186 00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:28,316 If no action is taken, 187 00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:33,237 soon there will more plastic in the ocean than fish. 188 00:18:41,245 --> 00:18:43,789 Thankfully, some people have dedicated their lives 189 00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:45,833 to protecting sea turtles. 190 00:19:22,203 --> 00:19:25,122 Dr. Ian Bell is a turtle hero. 191 00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:27,792 He leads a special task force 192 00:19:27,958 --> 00:19:29,460 for the Queensland government. 193 00:19:29,627 --> 00:19:32,380 It's called the Threatened Species Unit 194 00:19:32,546 --> 00:19:36,258 and today, they're catching and tagging turtles 195 00:19:36,425 --> 00:19:38,094 to find out more about them. 196 00:19:38,719 --> 00:19:41,889 Combining data from government agencies and thousands 197 00:19:42,056 --> 00:19:44,266 of volunteers from around the world, 198 00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:47,853 they've discovered a staggering fact. 199 00:19:53,651 --> 00:19:56,612 There are now only half as many sea turtles 200 00:19:56,779 --> 00:20:00,449 in the ocean as there were 100 years ago. 201 00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:05,955 This small tag will be a big help, 202 00:20:06,122 --> 00:20:09,166 providing data to scientists and volunteers 203 00:20:09,291 --> 00:20:11,335 trying to save her species. 204 00:20:13,087 --> 00:20:16,757 Dr. Bell has discovered that as earth warms, 205 00:20:16,924 --> 00:20:19,760 it's changing the temperatures of the beaches 206 00:20:19,927 --> 00:20:24,223 where turtles nest, and that has him concerned. 207 00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:27,935 Because if turtle eggs are laid in extra warm sand, 208 00:20:28,102 --> 00:20:30,938 all the hatchlings will be girls. 209 00:20:34,817 --> 00:20:40,156 Less male partners puts the entire turtle species at risk. 210 00:20:56,630 --> 00:21:00,968 Bunji's ocean home is where complex life began, 211 00:21:01,218 --> 00:21:04,054 and on which most life still depends. 212 00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:10,936 Now fully grown, this truly is her world. 213 00:21:16,859 --> 00:21:19,612 A world we have barely explored. 214 00:21:21,864 --> 00:21:24,033 Filled with wild creatures 215 00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:26,410 that are both weird 216 00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:30,581 and wonderful. 217 00:21:34,502 --> 00:21:37,421 Whose complex relationships to each other 218 00:21:37,588 --> 00:21:39,924 we're only beginning to understand. 219 00:21:42,551 --> 00:21:45,387 We know more about the surface of Mars 220 00:21:45,554 --> 00:21:48,808 than what's hiding out on our ocean floors. 221 00:21:53,187 --> 00:21:55,356 Who knows what biological wonders 222 00:21:55,523 --> 00:21:57,233 are yet to be discovered? 223 00:22:03,697 --> 00:22:07,076 The ocean is our greatest treasure 224 00:22:07,243 --> 00:22:09,161 and our greatest responsibility. 225 00:22:09,912 --> 00:22:12,915 And the remarkable recovery of one species 226 00:22:13,082 --> 00:22:17,461 provides hope for the continued survival of the turtle. 227 00:22:22,633 --> 00:22:26,345 From the deep, a behemoth arises. 228 00:23:02,590 --> 00:23:07,011 Migrating south, this humpback whale mother and calf 229 00:23:07,177 --> 00:23:09,346 cross Bunji's path. 230 00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:14,643 They're heading to the rich feeding grounds of the Antarctic. 231 00:23:36,081 --> 00:23:41,253 This big baby weighs in at over 3,000 pounds, 232 00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:45,257 so Bunji would be wise to keep her distance. 233 00:23:48,052 --> 00:23:50,679 These whales were once critically endangered, 234 00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:53,265 hunted almost to extinction. 235 00:23:53,641 --> 00:23:56,560 But then humans heard their cry for help. 236 00:24:00,397 --> 00:24:02,566 Along the east coast of Australia, 237 00:24:02,733 --> 00:24:07,363 humpback whale populations have made a full recovery. 238 00:24:15,746 --> 00:24:17,790 If we did it for these whales, 239 00:24:17,957 --> 00:24:21,418 maybe we can still do it for the sea turtles. 240 00:24:23,671 --> 00:24:25,339 Let's hope so, 241 00:24:25,506 --> 00:24:29,301 because entire ecosystems rest on a turtle's back, 242 00:24:29,718 --> 00:24:32,680 and that means an ocean without turtles 243 00:24:32,972 --> 00:24:35,516 would be a very empty place. 244 00:24:44,817 --> 00:24:46,986 As the whales travel south, 245 00:24:47,528 --> 00:24:49,405 other animals like Bunji 246 00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:51,949 are heading north to warmer waters. 247 00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:57,204 Dolphins, whales and turtles have been travelling 248 00:24:57,371 --> 00:24:59,039 these water highways 249 00:24:59,790 --> 00:25:02,501 long before humans walked the earth. 250 00:25:20,894 --> 00:25:22,730 Catching her breath at the surface 251 00:25:22,938 --> 00:25:25,482 is where Bunji is in most danger. 252 00:25:34,283 --> 00:25:35,826 From below, 253 00:25:36,076 --> 00:25:37,828 she stands out 254 00:25:38,203 --> 00:25:40,372 like a turtle target. 255 00:25:45,794 --> 00:25:49,548 This could be a bad day for Bunji. 256 00:25:51,258 --> 00:25:53,135 Sharks eat turtles. 257 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,483 This great white shark is over 16 feet long 258 00:26:08,108 --> 00:26:10,069 and could easily make a meal 259 00:26:10,235 --> 00:26:12,154 out of a fully grown turtle. 260 00:26:27,127 --> 00:26:29,421 Bunji is in real danger 261 00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:31,507 but she has a plan. 262 00:26:36,345 --> 00:26:38,138 She takes evasive action, 263 00:26:38,305 --> 00:26:41,016 turning her tough shell towards her attacker, 264 00:26:45,104 --> 00:26:47,356 diving deep to the sea bed. 265 00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:53,320 Down here, she's camouflaged against the coral. 266 00:26:55,823 --> 00:26:58,117 To limit their time at the surface, 267 00:26:58,283 --> 00:27:00,327 turtles have evolved the ability 268 00:27:00,494 --> 00:27:03,288 to reduce the amount of oxygen they need. 269 00:27:06,375 --> 00:27:09,086 They do this by slowing their heartbeat down 270 00:27:09,253 --> 00:27:12,172 to one beat every minute. 271 00:27:26,061 --> 00:27:28,188 And that means a green sea turtle 272 00:27:28,355 --> 00:27:31,608 can stay underwater for over six hours. 273 00:27:57,676 --> 00:28:00,095 But Bunji can't stay here forever. 274 00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:03,056 As a cold-blooded reptile, 275 00:28:03,223 --> 00:28:08,437 she needs to return to the surface and warmer waters. 276 00:28:22,159 --> 00:28:25,829 It's time to catch some early morning rays. 277 00:28:32,836 --> 00:28:37,090 Some turtles even leave the water for a spot of sunbathing. 278 00:28:38,550 --> 00:28:42,429 It's often the larger males that are the sun loungers. 279 00:28:44,014 --> 00:28:47,684 This beach boy will catch rays all daylong. 280 00:28:51,021 --> 00:28:53,273 He's not aware that soon he'll play 281 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,735 an important part in Bunji's epic odyssey. 282 00:29:03,825 --> 00:29:06,787 As for Bunji, time is ticking. 283 00:29:06,954 --> 00:29:09,581 She must get ready for her big day, 284 00:29:09,873 --> 00:29:13,085 but first she has to make a quick stop. 285 00:29:14,711 --> 00:29:17,589 Over 100 different species can be found 286 00:29:17,756 --> 00:29:20,300 living on green sea turtles. 287 00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:24,554 The parasites help keep her camouflaged 288 00:29:24,721 --> 00:29:28,850 but they also slow her down and can be quite itchy. 289 00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:31,979 It's time to get some off, 290 00:29:32,145 --> 00:29:36,066 but how do you do that with flippers for fingers? 291 00:29:39,486 --> 00:29:41,738 She's looking for something special. 292 00:29:42,155 --> 00:29:45,284 The right spot with the right sort of fish. 293 00:29:46,702 --> 00:29:48,745 These parrotfish are too big, 294 00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:52,916 and these chromis fish are too small. 295 00:29:54,751 --> 00:29:59,423 Ah, but these tangs are just right. 296 00:30:00,716 --> 00:30:03,927 Bunji has found a cleaning station. 297 00:30:04,970 --> 00:30:08,015 It's a place where smaller fish feed off the creatures 298 00:30:08,181 --> 00:30:10,684 living on larger animals. 299 00:30:11,476 --> 00:30:15,188 This is known as a symbiotic relationship. 300 00:30:16,398 --> 00:30:18,025 It's win-win. 301 00:30:19,151 --> 00:30:21,236 The little fish get fed, 302 00:30:21,403 --> 00:30:24,114 and the larger animals like Bunji get cleaned. 303 00:30:24,281 --> 00:30:26,116 Everybody's happy. 304 00:30:26,867 --> 00:30:30,704 And with a shell as sensitive as a human fingertip, 305 00:30:30,871 --> 00:30:33,373 she also likes a good scratch, 306 00:30:33,999 --> 00:30:35,876 and a scratch, 307 00:30:37,544 --> 00:30:39,046 and a scratch. 308 00:30:43,842 --> 00:30:47,512 But Bunji's not the only one who likes a good scrub. 309 00:30:48,597 --> 00:30:52,267 A squadron of rays is about to hit the station. 310 00:30:56,563 --> 00:30:59,691 These bad boys can have a wingspan 311 00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:00,901 of over twenty feet, 312 00:31:01,068 --> 00:31:04,529 and weigh up to 3,000 pounds. 313 00:31:04,696 --> 00:31:08,700 That's the same as an average family car. 314 00:31:11,787 --> 00:31:13,622 So when these guys arrive, 315 00:31:13,789 --> 00:31:16,458 they go right to the front of the line. 316 00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:22,214 And that means smaller fish, like this batfish, 317 00:31:22,631 --> 00:31:24,174 get bumped to the back. 318 00:31:26,510 --> 00:31:28,011 Because in nature, 319 00:31:28,178 --> 00:31:31,223 size really does matter. 320 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,441 But Bunji doesn't have time to wait. 321 00:31:42,401 --> 00:31:44,069 As the currents pick up, 322 00:31:44,236 --> 00:31:47,280 she's being called to her final destination. 323 00:31:48,907 --> 00:31:52,202 But forces of nature are rising against her. 324 00:32:11,012 --> 00:32:12,556 Bunji struggles. 325 00:32:15,642 --> 00:32:20,063 Even below the waves, the currents swirl around her. 326 00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:22,149 With low visibility, 327 00:32:22,315 --> 00:32:24,609 Bunji is using an invisible force 328 00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:27,279 to guide her to a very special place. 329 00:32:37,456 --> 00:32:40,125 Bunji's brain can actually detect 330 00:32:40,292 --> 00:32:43,128 the magnetic fields of the earth. 331 00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:51,803 Every place on the globe has a unique magnetic fingerprint. 332 00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:56,349 Bunji uses this information like a map. 333 00:32:56,850 --> 00:33:00,145 As she gets close, her map matches that 334 00:33:00,312 --> 00:33:02,647 of her current location. 335 00:33:03,148 --> 00:33:04,649 At last, 336 00:33:05,567 --> 00:33:07,777 she's reached her destination. 337 00:33:16,328 --> 00:33:17,913 She's home. 338 00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:23,752 After 25 years at sea, 339 00:33:23,919 --> 00:33:27,297 she's come back to the very beach she was born on. 340 00:33:45,649 --> 00:33:47,526 And she's not alone. 341 00:33:58,620 --> 00:34:00,497 The Great Barrier Reef is host to the biggest 342 00:34:00,664 --> 00:34:04,167 green sea turtle rookery in the world. 343 00:34:14,302 --> 00:34:17,222 Bunji's big adventure is one shared 344 00:34:17,389 --> 00:34:19,307 by thousands of other turtles. 345 00:34:21,017 --> 00:34:22,477 All around the world, 346 00:34:22,644 --> 00:34:26,189 green sea turtles are making similar great migrations 347 00:34:26,356 --> 00:34:28,775 to the beaches where they were born. 348 00:34:32,028 --> 00:34:34,906 So, this family of turtles 349 00:34:35,073 --> 00:34:37,325 may have been coming back to this very beach, 350 00:34:37,492 --> 00:34:39,244 generation after generation, 351 00:34:39,369 --> 00:34:41,621 for thousands of years. 352 00:34:44,332 --> 00:34:48,878 It's one of nature's most astonishing family reunions. 353 00:34:50,005 --> 00:34:52,799 Now it's Bunji's turn to play her part 354 00:34:52,966 --> 00:34:55,552 in that larger turtle story. 355 00:34:56,928 --> 00:35:00,390 It's time for Bunji to find a boyfriend. 356 00:35:32,839 --> 00:35:34,674 Once Bunji has mated, 357 00:35:34,841 --> 00:35:38,386 she will remain close to shore for over a month. 358 00:35:43,850 --> 00:35:46,144 Then, when the time is right, 359 00:35:46,311 --> 00:35:48,938 she'll undertake her most important task. 360 00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:55,737 It's time for Bunji to leave her water world. 361 00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:03,453 It will be her toughest turtle trial. 362 00:36:04,704 --> 00:36:07,624 After a lifetime of weightlessness in the ocean, 363 00:36:07,832 --> 00:36:10,418 gravity really sucks. 364 00:36:13,046 --> 00:36:15,632 Weighing in at 250 pounds, 365 00:36:15,799 --> 00:36:17,926 Bunji has to struggle up the same 366 00:36:18,093 --> 00:36:20,261 strip of beach that, decades before, 367 00:36:20,428 --> 00:36:22,347 she scurried down. 368 00:36:28,603 --> 00:36:30,438 She'll spend the next few hours 369 00:36:30,605 --> 00:36:32,315 digging herself into the sand, 370 00:36:32,482 --> 00:36:34,776 and scooping out a chamber for her eggs. 371 00:36:35,610 --> 00:36:38,279 It's exhausting work for this soon-to-be-mother, 372 00:36:38,446 --> 00:36:42,367 but her instinct is unflagging. 373 00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:57,799 She'll bury her eggs in the same sand 374 00:36:57,966 --> 00:37:01,302 her mother did over 25 years ago. 375 00:37:12,105 --> 00:37:14,065 The warm sand will keep them safe 376 00:37:14,232 --> 00:37:16,192 for the next two or three months. 377 00:37:25,285 --> 00:37:29,122 Finally, she covers her nest with the gentle care 378 00:37:29,289 --> 00:37:31,249 that only a mother can give. 379 00:37:39,048 --> 00:37:42,510 Laying five or so clutches every few years, 380 00:37:45,764 --> 00:37:50,852 she will produce thousands of offspring in her lifetime. 381 00:38:16,002 --> 00:38:17,420 After along night, 382 00:38:17,712 --> 00:38:20,215 she'll return to the comfort of the sea. 383 00:38:24,677 --> 00:38:25,970 She'll be back, 384 00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:27,305 but for now, 385 00:38:29,682 -->
