Deep Ocean: Kingdom of the Coelacanth
The deep-sea research team which captured the first-ever footage of a giant squid in its natural habitat now take on the challenge of unraveling the mysteries of the ancient coelacanth. In the ocean depths of Indonesia, they undertake the world’s first 72-hour tracking mission to closely observe this living fossil. How has this ancient fish managed to avoid extinction? This thrilling documentary with narration by Sir David Attenborough brings viewers closer than ever into the hidden world of the coelacanth.
Dinosaur Fish
The Lake Sturgeon has existed virtually unchanged for more than 130 million years. It survived a meteor impact and outlived the dinosaurs, but it struggles to survive in the face of human development. With only 1% remaining in the Great Lakes, conservationists in Lake Huron’s Saginaw Bay are working to bring this iconic species back from the brink of extinction.
