The Big Blue - Ocean Stories from Down Under | Episode 5 | Free Documentary Nature

In this episode:
On New Zealand's remote Open Bay Islands, New Zealand fur seals protect their newborns from surging seas, starvation, and predation by Great White Sharks.

This series plunges into the depths of New Zealand’s oceans to uncover captivating tales of the country’s native marine life. Journeying from south to north, the series explores six unique environments: its great white sharks versus little blue penguins in the southern haven of Stewart Island; a summer with fur seals along New Zealand’s rugged west coast; a day with the agile Dusky Dolphins of Kaikoura; close encounters with the venerable snapper and crayfish at Goat Island; intense drama in the egg nurseries of the stunning Poor Knights Islands, where parents fiercely defend their offspring; and a predator-prey showdown as surfing Orcas patrol Northland’s golden harbors, hunting for stingrays.

The variety and behavior of these species in such close quarters are mesmerizing. From giants to tiny creatures, acrobats to rock scrapers, the action in these aquatic communities is nonstop. Orcas and mud crabs, seals, and crayfish coexist as close neighbors, their intertwined lives in a big blue world.
