The Blue Planet
Open Ocean
Season 1 Episode 3 of 8
Predators and prey in the open oceans come under the scrutiny of David Attenborough. Marlin track down a shoal of sardines as a sei whale scoops up the leftovers, dolphins herd mackerel and attract the attention of a sailfish with the resonance of their sonar, and giant sunfish queue up to allow other species, including seagulls, to feed on their parasites
The Blue Planet airs on U&Yesterday at 5:00 PM, Sunday 7 September. (Subtitles, audio description.)
