Giant trevallies launch themselves out of the water to catch fledgling terns.
In recent years, our knowledge of life beneath the waves has been transformed. Using cutting-edge technology, One Ocean takes us on a journey from the intense heat of the tropics to our planet’s frozen poles to reveal new worlds and extraordinary never-before-seen animal behaviors.
Starting in the tropical coral reefs – the most diverse ocean habitat – a baby dolphin is taught the secrets of a coral reef, as its family rubs against a particular gorgonian which may have medicinal properties.
On another reef, a tusk fish demonstrates a surprising level of ingenuity – tool use – as it uses corals as an anvil to break open clams. In the Seychelles, half a million terns nest on an island.
Fledglings must eventually take to the wing, but danger lurks beneath the waves – meter-long giant trevally fish leap clear out of the water to snatch the birds.
The Trevally is truly one of the most underestimated and amazing fish of the oceans … which is why it is also known as the Kingfish in our waters here in South Africa.
When I worked at Pearl Harbor the employee eating area was on the docks and we would throw scraps of meat in and they would rush it sometimes we would buy a rotisserie chicken from Walmart and throw it in and watch them eat it in one gulp they are truly insane.
