00:00:08,241 --> 00:00:11,144
Television that is educational
And informational.

The more you know on nbc.

Dylan: hi, I'm dylan dreyer.

00:00:16,916 --> 00:00:19,452
Today we sail for the
Southern oceans.
7
00:00:19,552 --> 00:00:23,423
Join us for a wildlife adventure
Right now on earth odyssey
8
00:00:24,257 --> 00:00:27,994
On today's show a spectacular
Underwater migration brings
9
00:00:28,094 --> 00:00:31,097
Out two very different kinds
Of predators.
10
00:00:31,898 --> 00:00:35,735
And only in australia will you
See beach goers like this.
11
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:40,840
Plus one very tiny dancer in
What could be the performance
12
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:42,042
Of a lifetime.
13
00:00:43,243 --> 00:00:47,647
And the tiniest penguins brave
The waves to come home to roost
14
00:00:47,747 --> 00:00:51,051
All this and much more just
Ahead on "Earth odyssey."

[music]
16
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,576
Dylan: the dazzling blue of
Australia's coastline is home
17
00:01:16,676 --> 00:01:20,180
To abundant marine life but
Underneath the peaceful waters
18
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,250
The serious business of predator
And prey involves daily danger.
19
00:01:24,351 --> 00:01:27,921
Some animals succeed through
Speed and size while others
20
00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:31,624
Seek safety in numbers in
Our first story one clever
21
00:01:31,725 --> 00:01:35,762
Operator opts to use both brains
And brawn while on the hunt.
22
00:01:37,697 --> 00:01:41,634
These wild coasts are vibrant
Habitats to australia's
23
00:01:41,735 --> 00:01:43,470
Extraordinary creatures.
24
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:49,175
From ocean icons...
25
00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:52,112
...And the unexpected...
26
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:55,181
...To the mesmerizing.
27
00:01:56,649 --> 00:01:59,119
This is southwestern australia.
28
00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:10,864
At the tip of this immense
Continent headlands frame
29
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:15,502
Pristine bays that play host to
An enormous annual migration.
30
00:02:20,106 --> 00:02:23,743
Hundreds of thousands of
Australian salmon have traveled
31
00:02:23,843 --> 00:02:27,414
More than 2,000 miles from
Southeastern australia.
32
00:02:33,553 --> 00:02:37,157
Despite their name they are part
Of the ray finned fish family
33
00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:41,895
And not related to salmon or
Trout and at more than 27 inches
34
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:44,297
Long they have
Reached adulthood.
35
00:02:51,137 --> 00:02:54,841
Their migration is synced with
The peak of an eastward flowing
36
00:02:54,941 --> 00:02:56,109
Current.
37
00:02:56,576 --> 00:02:59,479
The current triggers the
Huge schools to spawn.
38
00:03:01,381 --> 00:03:04,417
As the eggs are released the
Current will carry the next
39
00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:07,954
Generation to protected
Coastal nurseries in the east
40
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:13,126
It's an annual event to
Extend the fishes bloodlines.
41
00:03:13,226 --> 00:03:15,228
[music]
42
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:23,069
Dylan: and a potential feast for
Others.
43
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,744
Gray nurse and copper sharks
More than 10 feet long.
44
00:03:36,649 --> 00:03:39,085
They are heading straight
For the migrators.
45
00:03:45,592 --> 00:03:49,696
But the australian salmon are
No easy targets even for sharks.
46
00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:53,800
When one fish senses its
Neighbor getting too close
47
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:58,104
It speeds up the whole school
Moving as one.
48
00:03:58,171 --> 00:04:00,173
[music]
49
00:04:10,850 --> 00:04:13,453
Dylan: but in these waters,
There's another species that
50
00:04:13,553 --> 00:04:16,556
Hunts these fish and they work
As a team.
51
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:23,296
With larger brains than humans
These dolphins stay in constant
52
00:04:23,396 --> 00:04:24,531
Communication.
53
00:04:29,669 --> 00:04:33,840
Drivers split from the main pod
Herding the fish towards the
54
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:34,941
Beach.

00:04:35,075 --> 00:04:37,077
[music]
56
00:04:49,389 --> 00:04:52,592
Dylan: in the shallows the
School becomes splintered
57
00:04:52,692 --> 00:04:56,329
Utilizing echolocation and
Exceptional eyesight the
58
00:04:56,429 --> 00:05:00,767
Dolphins hit the panicking fish
And stragglers are picked off.
59
00:05:09,776 --> 00:05:12,946
They may not all survive but
For the australian salmon their
60
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:15,448
Ultimate goal has been achieved.
61
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:20,053
Their eggs are already drifting
Towards their nursing grounds.
62
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:26,960
Coming up wild wallabies get
Into a beach combing battle,
63
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:28,895
But is it all just for show?
64
00:05:30,196 --> 00:05:34,367
And a minuscule spider
Shows off some major talent.
65
00:05:35,368 --> 00:05:39,773
Plus these navy blue birds
Show their true colors.
66
00:05:39,873 --> 00:05:43,443
There's much more still ahead
When earth odyssey returns.
67
00:05:52,852 --> 00:05:52,986

70
00:06:09,235 --> 00:06:13,173
Dylan: australia boasts more
Than 20,000 miles of shoreline
71
00:06:14,174 --> 00:06:16,943
From the remote marine
Wilderness of the north and
72
00:06:17,043 --> 00:06:20,647
Western regions to the tropical
Wonders of the great barrier
73
00:06:20,747 --> 00:06:22,215
Reef to the east.
74
00:06:23,183 --> 00:06:26,586
Warm waters and strong
Currents create a realm of
75
00:06:26,686 --> 00:06:31,124
Sanctuary and bounty where the
Strange and wonderful thrive
76
00:06:31,224 --> 00:06:33,727
Both on land and at sea.

In the northeast queensland's
Coast covers more than 8,000

Are among the most species

00:06:43,069 --> 00:06:47,507
Rich in australia where the lush
Land meets the beautiful coral
80
00:06:47,607 --> 00:06:48,508
Sea.
81
00:06:48,608 --> 00:06:52,078
One habitat takes root on
The intertidal zone.
82
00:06:53,813 --> 00:06:55,081
Mangroves.
83
00:06:56,249 --> 00:07:00,286
These trees evolved to grow in
Salty conditions.
84
00:07:01,021 --> 00:07:04,357
Their entire reproduction
Is adapted to a semi-aquatic
85
00:07:04,457 --> 00:07:08,028
Lifestyle to disperse they
Simply drop.

87
00:07:12,465 --> 00:07:15,835
Dylan: perfectly buoyant they
Will spend up to a month at sea
88
00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:18,471
Drifting more than a hundred
Miles.
89
00:07:22,742 --> 00:07:26,846
An unlikely beachgoer eastern
Gray kangaroos have learned
90
00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:29,683
To benefit from the bounty
Offered by the sea.
91
00:07:32,052 --> 00:07:36,489
The mangrove pod bounty has made
This a popular marsupial spot.
92
00:07:37,824 --> 00:07:41,094
A smaller relative of the
Eastern kangaroo joins the
93
00:07:41,194 --> 00:07:45,298
Beachcombers; the agile wallaby.
94
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:50,737
While both species feed on the
Same coastal vegetation there is
95
00:07:50,837 --> 00:07:52,972
Little interspecies conflict.
96
00:08:00,013 --> 00:08:02,515
But the wallabies breed
Year-round meaning there's
97
00:08:02,615 --> 00:08:04,851
Always someone ready to show
Off.

00:08:11,024 --> 00:08:12,759
Dylan: it's a battle of
Strength.
100
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:19,699
Forelimbs to grapple and
Scratch.
101
00:08:20,867 --> 00:08:22,135
Powerful kicks.
102
00:08:23,403 --> 00:08:24,904
The signature move.
103
00:08:25,872 --> 00:08:29,576
But the wallabies are pulling
Their punches with no defined
104
00:08:29,676 --> 00:08:32,379
Mating season there's no need
To go all out.
105
00:08:36,750 --> 00:08:39,919
Nocturnal by nature the
Wallaby mob retreats to
106
00:08:40,053 --> 00:08:42,055
The forest as the sun rises.
107
00:08:45,925 --> 00:08:48,762
The kangaroos take a different
Approach to cooling down.
108
00:08:56,903 --> 00:08:58,338
Breakfast over.
109
00:08:59,406 --> 00:09:02,208
Not all mangrove pods have
Been consumed.
110
00:09:02,776 --> 00:09:05,545
Up and down the coast they
Begin to take root keeping
111
00:09:05,645 --> 00:09:08,248
The valuable habitats alive.
112
00:09:11,851 --> 00:09:16,056
Coming up this peacock spiders
Colors are on full display,
113
00:09:17,824 --> 00:09:21,094

Love.

Everything however, they can
Play a key role when it comes
120
00:09:57,497 --> 00:10:00,633
Time to find a partner this
Might mean a vibrant display
121
00:10:00,734 --> 00:10:04,571
Using feathers or horns while
For others it's more of a dance
122
00:10:04,671 --> 00:10:08,274
Routine big or small some
Species take their looks very
123
00:10:08,375 --> 00:10:11,111
Seriously when it comes to
Attracting a mate.
124
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,983
On the australian coast
One animal has spent the
125
00:10:17,083 --> 00:10:21,654
Night hiding in the sand
Inside a bubble woven of silk.

Spider is a species of beach
128

Lovers surviving on the
Dunes.

Dylan: this male is only the
Size of a grain of rice.
131
00:11:04,164 --> 00:11:08,068
To get around he's evolved an
Efficient form of locomotion.
132
00:11:15,975 --> 00:11:17,177
With each leap...
133
00:11:18,778 --> 00:11:22,615
...He can move an astounding
40 times his body length.
134
00:11:27,754 --> 00:11:31,191
Before each jump he anchors
A safety line of silk,
135
00:11:32,225 --> 00:11:33,660
In case he falls

His.
138

He's not the only spider on the
Dunes.

140
00:12:10,263 --> 00:12:11,464
Dylan: a female.

Mating is the arachnids
Ultimate goal,
142
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:21,474
But female peacock spiders
Are cannibalistic.

Ready to perform the courtship

Dance.
146
00:12:49,002 --> 00:12:50,403
Talk about pressure.
147
00:12:58,578 --> 00:13:02,882
Peacock spider eyes can perceive
The entire color spectrum, so
148
00:13:03,049 --> 00:13:05,385
He utilizes an optical illusion.
149
00:13:11,725 --> 00:13:14,961
The dark spots on his abdomen
Are super black.
150
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:22,702
One of the most light absorbent
Materials in nature perfect
151

For making bright colors
Pop.

Not just a dancer he's on
Percussions as well.
153
00:13:40,353 --> 00:13:43,823
His abdomen makes subtle
Vibrations which the female
154
00:13:43,923 --> 00:13:46,860
Detects with sensory
Organs in her legs.

Place on earth where these

Vibrant performances are staged.

For around 5,000 miles along the

Aquatic realm; little penguins.

They are true seafarers.

00:15:54,721 --> 00:15:58,158
The majority of their life is
Spent in the ocean, but they're
177
00:15:58,258 --> 00:16:02,896
Coming ashore on an important
Mission; to feed their chicks.
178
00:16:03,930 --> 00:16:07,367
Li penguins are just 12
Inches tall and weigh under
179
00:16:07,467 --> 00:16:09,069
Three-and-a-half pounds
180
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:21,815
Forming many rafts of penguins
Just offshore they wait for
181
00:16:21,915 --> 00:16:24,150
Numbers to muster enough
Courage.
182
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:32,726
False starts are a standard.
183
00:16:38,498 --> 00:16:40,367
They're right to be cautious.
184
00:16:41,768 --> 00:16:44,571
On land they are at their most
Exposed.
185
00:16:53,146 --> 00:16:56,082
Little penguin coloring
Is made for the sea.
186
00:16:59,753 --> 00:17:02,722
Their dark navy blue
Feathers match the ocean.
187
00:17:07,027 --> 00:17:09,629
And their white bellies
Blend with the sky providing
188
00:17:09,729 --> 00:17:13,133
Camouflage from predators
Both above and below.
189
00:17:25,211 --> 00:17:27,847
But on land it's not much help.
190
00:17:32,419 --> 00:17:33,753
It's now or never.
191
00:17:36,690 --> 00:17:40,560
Sea eagles patrol the coast
When the sun rises and the
192
00:17:40,660 --> 00:17:43,596
Penguins have an important
Delivery to make on land.
193
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:56,309
It's time to run or waddle.
194
00:18:02,782 --> 00:18:05,118
No one wants to get left behind.
195
00:18:10,056 --> 00:18:13,493
Their burrows are dotted amongst
The dunes beyond the beach.
196
00:18:28,541 --> 00:18:31,378
He recognizes the distinctive
Call of his offspring.
197
00:18:32,579 --> 00:18:35,382
The sole reason for
His daring dash.
198
00:18:59,072 --> 00:19:02,776
Male and female penguin parents
Spend around 60 days feeding
199
00:19:02,876 --> 00:19:06,279
Their young 24/7 before their
Chicks are strong enough to
200
00:19:06,379 --> 00:19:10,884
Follow them into the ocean
For an adventurous life at sea.
201
00:19:15,021 --> 00:19:18,258
Thank you for joining us on
Our expedition into the wild.
202
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:21,261
Each of these remarkable
Animals has their own story
203
00:19:21,361 --> 00:19:24,931
To tell as they show us their
Version of what it means to
204
00:19:25,031 --> 00:19:25,732
Thrive.
205
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:26,900
I'm dylan dreyer.
206
00:19:27,033 --> 00:19:29,502
We hope you'll come along
For the next amazing adventure
207
00:19:29,602 --> 00:19:31,304
Here on "Earth odyssey".
