ocean wonders (series 1)

Heavy-metal marine biologist Tom “the Blowfish” Hird comes face to face with
incredible sea creatures - scuba diving with manta rays, sharks and grey seals
and taking a closer look at smaller critters like moray eels, mantis shrimp and
boxer crabs back in his lab. Blowfish uses everyday objects to demonstrate how
aquatic animals thrive and survive - from wrapping himself in tin foil to show how
crabs moult to recreating sticky hagfish slime and learning to shoot like an
archerfish. Blowfish’s infectious enthusiasm, daredevil antics and hilarious

home-made experiments shed light on the weird and wonderful wildlife of the
underwater world. Definition Episodes
