Planet Earth: episode 11

Planet Earth: episode 11-This episode concentrates on the most unexplored area of the planet: the deep ocean. It begins with a whale shark used as a shield by a shoal of bait fish to protect themselves from yellowfin tuna. Also shown is an oceanic whitetip shark trailing rainbow runners.

Meanwhile, a 500-strong school of dolphins head for the Azores, where they work together to feast on scad mackerel. Down in the ocean's furthest reaches, some creatures defy classification. On the sea floor, scavengers such as the spider crab bide their time, awaiting carrion from above. The volcanic mountain chain at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean also sustains life through the bacteria that surround its sulfide vents

Open ocean, a vast biotope covering two thirds of the planet, some shallow, some as deep as the mountain ranges are high. The ocean has an immense, precariously complex food chain, varying from microscopic animals, like krill, to whales, which ironically feed mainly on the former.

Most species swim or float in it, many coming up for air, while other dive in from land or air, often to feed, but also to procreate on the coast, where some species come to lay their eggs. Even the shore is covered with life, largely based on organic matter, such as corpses.

Planet Earth: episode 10

Planet Earth: episode 10-The Taiga forest, on the edge of the Arctic, is a silent world of stunted conifers. The trees may be small but filming from the air reveals its true scale. A third of all trees on Earth grow here and during the short summer they produce enough oxygen to change the atmosphere. In California General Sherman, a giant sequoia, is the largest living thing on the planet, ten times the size of a blue whale. The oldest organisms alive are bristle cone pines. At more than 4,000 years old they pre-date the pyramids. But the baobab forests of Madagascar are perhaps the strangest of all.

Planet Earth is a 2006 television series produced by the BBC Natural History Unit. Five years in the making, it was the most expensive nature documentary series ever commissioned by the BBC, and also the first to be filmed in high definition, The series was co-produced by the Discovery Channel and NHK in association with CBC, and was described by its makers as "the definitive look at the diversity of our planet".

Planet Earth: episode 9

Shallow seas cover only 8% of earth's surface, but contain the richest, most varied maritime life: from plankton and coral (literally vital for the very existence of reefs) to birds and from various invertebrates to mammals like seals, dolphins and whales and from sea snakes to countless fish species. Their ecological interaction is greatly varied and complex, often with nearby land to, even with deserts.

Over the years BBC ONE has shown viewers the most incredible sights on the planet, but there’s an even more amazing world out there that’s never been seen, and it’s captured for the first time in Planet Earth.

Planet Earth is the first natural history series to be filmed entirely in high definition, providing an unparalleled view of awe-inspiring landscapes from all across the globe and incredible footage of the rarely spotted, almost mythical creatures that live in these habitats.

The Blue Planet blew audiences away with its alien footage from the depths of the ocean. Four years on and cameras can now track great migrations, capture split-second actions, and get amazing footage of land-based animals in their natural habitats, no matter whether this is a mountain top, the most remote parts of the desert, or the dark depths of the forest floor. The world’s premier wildlife cameramen have travelled all over the planet, even to the most far-flung reaches, to create the biggest series the BBC's Natural History Unit has ever done.

This begs the question: what do we accredit ourselves as a people so highly developed? Are we much better than this, of animals and their feast and famine existence? Do we, as humans, do not also operate from our base instincts to eat, have a place to live and breed? Is it because we think and can reason and be able to formulate thoughts in our heads and carry them about in the physical world? At the end of all our efforts, we still are not just animals on pasture.

Planet Earth: episode 6

A polar bears starving to death because he had been swimming for days in search of food, and do not have the power to kill its prey. A big giant to us, this bear looks so small against the background of a very large walrus, who stabbed him with their tusks to try to steal their young. You can not blame the walrus, but you also can not help but to feel hungry bear, who has lost half of its body weight in less than three months. Half.

Can you imagine what it must be like? I weigh 300 pounds and every time I get a shock even hungry, I stroll casually into the kitchen and grab something to eat (which is why I weight 300 pounds). After finding that this bear has actually been starving for months, it seems like the roar of cries of despair and frustration of suffering, because he was starving to death.


So in the end, as I challenge the curse of Adam is no longer live off the land which he was shackled, I live and breath and the world closer to the end, I - the human in me - is responsible for this massacre.

But there is joy and beauty blended together with unthinkable tragedy. Penguins, because they find their partner, and intercourse, their child-rearing - the capital passed off their eggs to the father who brunts out a terrible winter with his brothers - just for women returned with food in the spring. Mothers who lost their children, struggling to adopt a motherless girl.

No science fiction, in my mind, which can touch the world of strange and bizarre found in our oceans. They are a big hump back wales, how strange they are, but also how very interesting and captivating them. Large expanses of the earth - how microscopic life in comparison. How minutes we stood against the background of history - natural. This begs the question, who are we, when we all - every last one of us breathe in and out now - will be long on the ground in 200 years. However, science tells us that the earth is billions of years.

That man has been here for 50,000 or more? Even the young earthers claim the earth more than 6000 years. a hundred generations of 60 years. In 100 years, you will be nothing more than history. Something for someone might read if you're lucky - most of us (as most of humanity) will drift into eternity with no records to account for us.
