In How Clownfish and Anemones Thrive Together, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes the special relationship between clownfish and sea anemones. The clownfish is immune to the anemone's stinging tentacles, using them as a safe home. Here, the female clownfish lays her eggs, and the male takes care of them. His job is laborious; if the female isn’t satisfied with his care, she’ll quickly replace him with another male. This video is excerpted from BBC's Life, a show that explores the remarkable strategies animals and plants use to ensure their survival.
In A Real Life Finding Nemo, Sir David Attenborough explores the unique relationship between the clownfish and the sea anemone. Often poisonous to other fish, the anemone serves as a protective home for the clownfish. The male clownfish repays the favor by keeping the anemone clean and removing debris. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet II, a natural history series that explores the world's oceans, the animals that live in them, and the threats they face, using modern filming techniques and equipment to capture previously unseen areas of the ocean.
In How Ghost Nets Put Ocean Life in Danger, naturalist Steve Backshall is scuba diving when he notices something disturbing: an old net that is covering the coral reef and seabed. Steve helps free a trumpetfish and a clownfish by cutting away the netting. This video is excerpted from BBC's Deadly 60, an award-winning nature and adventure show for kids in which narrator Steve Backshall has one mission: to travel the globe in search of 60 of the world's deadliest animals.
Dive beneath the waves and explore the colorful world of coral reefs and the amazing sea life they support. From bright tropical fish and graceful sea turtles to tiny coral polyps and color-changing cuttlefish, students will discover how reefs are home to some of the most diverse animal populations on Earth.
This Kahoot explores the rich ecosystems found in and around coral reefs, including the relationships between marine animals, food chains, and the special adaptations that help creatures survive underwater. Students will learn how reef animals find food, avoid predators, and depend on coral habitats for shelter and survival.
