    Taken From Blue Planet II
    This bold cinematic experience takes viewers on a magical adventure across the greatest, yet least known, parts of our planet - our oceans. Since Blue Planet aired in 2001, our understanding of life beneath the waves has completely changed. Travelling from the icy polar seas to the vibrant blues of the coral atolls, this series shares these astonishing new discoveries. Meet the strange octopuses lurking in the depths of the Antarctic Ocean. Watch giant trevally fish leap to catch birds in mid-air. And ride on the back of a hammerhead shark as it attacks. Inspiring awe and wonder, Blue Planet II reveals surprising new places, charismatic new characters and extraordinary new behaviours.
    Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

Look at the holy quran that consist of words of God alone 😞 that has been revealed unto the earth more than 1500 years ago all praise be to God alone ❤ ❤ ❤ when there were no high technologies were implemented yet holy quran mention very recently discovered many scientific advanced facts including embryology space science ,etc and about some facts that are yet to to be discover in near future are also mentioned unimaginably yet miraculously nearly 1500 years ago without the help of any high technologies!!!while the scientists are unable to break through even by using very latest high tech equipment !!!who can produce such a miracle, a book full of miracles 😌other than ALLAAH and God say in the holy quran in Sura 4:82 "If [Quran] had been from other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction"!! and almighty God challenge anyone who reject to believe in the existence of God by pulling out any contradiction or any mistake from this divine book of God(quran) and if you fail to take up the challenge and yet start to disbelieve in the existence of God the final destinations that we all humans are bound to under go in near future(after life) will be very very hard for such people 😞 so get prepared my friend before its too late🥺my friend i love you and if want to obtain a eternal life with mind blowing unimaginable, unheard, unseen paradise you better submit your will to one and only God(ALLAAH in arabic quran , pronounced as ELLOH in hebrew bible and addressed as God universally ) before its too late

    This is actually a really sophisticated strategy. Only Kobudai who live a long time and are able to gain the weight (meaning they hunted well and used the food efficiently) get to be male. But all the fish that survive to breeding age get to breed, unlike many species where 50% of the species are males and 50% of more of them don't get to breed.

      @@konigstiger3252 Actually it's mostly 1:1 male:female, you're probably confused because 1 male has several females in many species. But for every male with a harem there are many males who die without breeding.
      Mathematically an individual of whichever gender a species has more of at birth is disadvantaged because they can't find enough mates. So genomes that produce 50/50 male female are at an advantage.

      Yes. Sir David Frederick Attenborough is a planetary treasure. He has contributed so much. And by modulating his voice, he allows us to feel our feelings, rather than overpowering them with histrionics as so many other less adept nature documentary narrators do. Our emotions are often more evident to us when we are not being told what to feel.

    I swam with one of these in a bay of the Whitsundays Islands off the east coast of Australia. We were on a boat & snorkling trip when we anchored in the bay and the Napoleon Fish immideately came up to the boat. Everyone was scared to get into the water with this enormous fish around, I estimate he was more then 1m long and pretty tall aswell. But our tour guide explained that he is harmless and is just curious like a little dog. When I got into the water he would follow me around a little bit. He was a scary and beautiful sight, the huge mouth with crooked teeth looked a little scary and kind of dumb but his body was of beautiful colors, blues, greens and yellows. I will never forget this little adventure, wonderful nature.
    Our tour guide said, that there is only ever 1 male in the bay and when it dies the largest female will change sex.
