Taken From Blue Planet II
This bold cinematic experience takes viewers on a magical adventure across the greatest, yet least known, parts of our planet - our oceans. Since Blue Planet aired in 2001, our understanding of life beneath the waves has completely changed. Travelling from the icy polar seas to the vibrant blues of the coral atolls, this series shares these astonishing new discoveries. Meet the strange octopuses lurking in the depths of the Antarctic Ocean. Watch giant trevally fish leap to catch birds in mid-air. And ride on the back of a hammerhead shark as it attacks. Inspiring awe and wonder, Blue Planet II reveals surprising new places, charismatic new characters and extraordinary new behaviours.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

[@newperve]

This is actually a really sophisticated strategy. Only Kobudai who live a long time and are able to gain the weight (meaning they hunted well and used the food efficiently) get to be male. But all the fish that survive to breeding age get to breed, unlike many species where 50% of the species are males and 50% of more of them don't get to breed.

[@simply_nebulous]

I was just thinking about that. They took natural selection to the next level.

[@konigstiger3252]

Actually human is quite the strange case when it comes to sex ratio, most animal have far more female than male

[@newperve]

@@konigstiger3252 Actually it's mostly 1:1 male:female, you're probably confused because 1 male has several females in many species. But for every male with a harem there are many males who die without breeding. Mathematically an individual of whichever gender a species has more of at birth is disadvantaged because they can't find enough mates. So genomes that produce 50/50 male female are at an advantage.

Everyone was scared to get into the water with this enormous fish around, I estimate he was more then 1m long and pretty tall aswell. But our tour guide explained that he is harmless and is just curious like a little dog. When I got into the water he would follow me around a little bit. He was a scary and beautiful sight, the huge mouth with crooked teeth looked a little scary and kind of dumb but his body was of beautiful colors, blues, greens and yellows. I will never forget this little adventure, wonderful nature. Our tour guide said, that there is only ever 1 male in the bay and when it dies the largest female will change sex.

@@kevangelos817 I'm not 'stalking' you. Also why are you assuming I'm a Marxist? Can conservatives not have common human decency according to you?

[@kevangelos817]

@@floepy9701 You are stalking me on multiple comments, and you can call yourself whatever political label that is the "bee's knees" whenever you want but that doesn't mean anything. If you are a "conservative", you are the kind that is intrinsically anti-white and facilitating the fall of the Western world and an unknowing participant and supporter of marxism. Unknowingly that is if you are honest (but I am sure you are a liar and 100% karlist) Congratulations.
