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.

[@Hadespluto3ffect]

@@cmichaels9544 that’s literally going to do absolutely NOTHING, we are NOT what’s causing these fish and plants to die it’s big company that pollute and overfish, not even a village of 100 would make a dent on the fish and plant population but you know what does? Oil spills. Like the two we JUST had, I’m pretty sure oil on fire in the ocean is much more impactful than sally and Ben fishing for 3 fish no bigger than 4 inches, but I do agree picking up your trash is still very important!!

[@fubberpish3614]

I highly doubt any fish is of comparable intelligence to a human, but fish are certainly more intelligent than people give them credit for! some species, such as larger wrasses, are roughly comparable to a dog in terms of intelligence. play behaviour and tool use have been observed in several fish species, and the Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse has even passed the mirror test!

[@j.m.salazar9964]

Just a reminder, this footage was likely captured in a "controlled environment". The person filming probably introduced the coconut/bottle into the fish's habitat. No, they didn't sit around with a camera all day and wait for something like this to happen naturally. Always remember, not everything on the internet is real.
