The Extraordinary World of the Ocean: Survival and Balance

🌊The ocean covers 70% of our planet's surface, providing habitat for a wide range of marine animals.

🐢Turtles like the olive ridley face numerous challenges as they make their way from the beach to the ocean.

🦈The ocean is home to amazing predators like the great white shark, which hunts with precision and power.

🐋Blue whales, the largest animals on Earth, undertake vast migrations to find enough food.

🐠Coral reefs, the most productive ocean habitats, are under threat from warming seas and bleaching events.

Why are coral reefs important?

—Coral reefs support a quarter of all marine species and provide valuable ecosystem services like shoreline protection.

What challenges do marine animals face?

—Marine animals must navigate changing ecosystems, intense competition, and the threats of predators and human activities.

Why do turtles face difficulties on land and at sea?

—Turtles face obstacles like predation and climate change as they hatch on land and make their way to the ocean.

How do great white sharks hunt?

—Great white sharks use their speed, power, and specialized hunting techniques to prey on a variety of marine animals.

What is the impact of warming seas on coral reefs?

—Warming seas lead to coral bleaching, where corals expel the algae that provide their energy and color, endangering the entire reef ecosystem.
