Great Barrier Reef

From deadly fish-hunting snails to sharks that walk on land, fighting corals and parrot fish that spin sleeping bags every night, discover the magic of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. This fascinating nature documentary looks at complex structure of the coral reef itself and the wildlife that lives on it, revealing how the amazing reef creatures compete and co-operate.

Only 7% of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is coral reef. The rest is a variety of interconnected habitats including the world's oldest jungle, many islands, and mysterious deep-water gardens. As this nature documentary reveals, many of the creatures that live here are improbably weird, from giant hammerhead sharks to the bizarre 'pearl fish' that lives its life in the rear end of a sea cucumber.

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is vitally linked to the rest of the planet in many ways. Creatures travel for thousands of miles to visit, including tiger sharks, great whales, seabirds and the largest green turtle gathering on the planet. And as this nature documentary shows, weather patterns and climate change are likely to shape the future of the Great Barrier Reef and all its wildlife.
