last agent knew a happy occasion. in the middle of winter, the a female humpback well has given birth to a calf with a light colored belly. its skin is very wrinkling, and its eyes are still closed. to help it take its 1st breath, the mother make sure that her caps blowhole remains above water. it's a very special moment. only a few years ago this scene would have been unthinkable. there were no wails left in the area at all, but thanks to a hunting more tore em, they're back in all their glory. and the water is around love for you and young. an island in the indian ocean have become of veritable well nursery. on this beautiful

day in september, a small, well joins the large whale family. the, during the 1st few days of its life, the calf stays close to its mother, taking comfort from the physical contact. its mother's large body is a safe haven in the vast expanse of ocean, the within a week the calf has already put on 200 kilograms. it's still very attached to its mother, but gradually, the young wheel builds up courage. and begins to experiment with its bodies,

extraordinary abilities, the cast a sense in the water and spreads. it spins like a bird in flight. the it's life is regulated by breathing intervals at the water surface in the beginning . these last only a few minutes, the but the mother is strict. she trains her calf for longer and longer intervals, the with each passing day, the caps confidence groves. gradually,

the mother coaxes her calf to dive deeper and deeper. now she hovers just above the sand, at a depth of 40 meters, the calf ventures further and further away and senses the attraction of the vast unknown world. the now the well cast is about to meet people. for the 1st time,

the sum divers have come to welcome the futures, the giant. they hold hands and weight from a respectful distance for the calf to swim up to them the a special moment for the divers, and for the young. well, the lot for you and your is one of the last places in the world for this kind of open

sea encounter is still possible the, the way humans interact with whales here, as changed to a few years ago encounters could be touching, go some swimmers with little knowledge of ocean wild life were not even aware that they were in the presence of a 40 ton 15 metre, long animal, ready to protect its you know, the as a result. swimmers, frightened well mothers into taking unnecessary flight measures with their caps. mother and calf ended up stressed and exhausted during a season which rest was what they needed most. the fortunately,

swimmers today are better informed at the wales and they approach with respect of this more peaceful coexistence is essential if this type of encounter is to continue the . this sea turtle is used to sharing its reef with divers. she's on phased by her

admirers interest, and stoically continues feeding. after all, she needs her strength for the upcoming journey to europa island on a tall in the waters between madagascar and mozambique human activity can be dangerous for animals. this turtle was filmed at night by divers. it had been badly injured by a boat propeller. the scientists recognized the animal immediately. its emma, one of the rare green sea turtles that come to love where you and your own during the breeding season, the, the scientists and my head died. but then she reappeared an event. the head of the sea turtle observatory, found deeply moving clips. jacqueline, such as because it came back to see that normally there should be

a rid alone here is being broken, boats traveling too fast because this kind of damage that was a half the collision for emma is the 6th season in a row. we 1st saw her in 2007 last year she was expected in november, but she didn't show up here any by the on. yeah. going, uh, but that was a piece of that. i think you know, if anything was sort of print this year to our surprise and delight, she reappeared on the beach to lay her eggs. that's when we saw her injury, which is now almost completely he'll come in. but you can still see that the shells richard is. he has changed. she has a large scar on time and successfully simple after this amazingly for years now, only 2 females have been coming to live for you and you want to lever asked during the reading season. you memorize the most faithful. then after the boat accident, she disappeared in life without her reproductive population on the radio. and young would have been ha, following up with you guys to see that i know the feelings balance is on selling

its own floors and decades of turtle conservation on radio and your beginning in the 1980s would have been at least partially got out in vain. p o n a, and then it got put on the subject for this time of hygiene is all very fragile. and you always have to keep that in mind. attracting to us with 6 people tours that the young reunion is not sustainable for the island. increasing profits and economic growth of the primary goals. we simply wouldn't make it. also long i leave off the return of wells and sea turtles to the island of luckily and young has led to the development of new business models. the number of whale watching tour operators has exploded. often the welfare of the animals takes

a backseat. but there is a middle ground, the, the, the hello my, my, thank you. that's incredible. if they come to us of their own accord success, and that's exactly what we want, the animals should decide for themselves. we're lucky on the radio, know that the whales come very, very close to our coast. look at that guy. it's incredible. and the see this one decided on just one trip a day this year. it was only because these days there are lots of people out at sea . so that's the best way to protect wells. is a secure when it the only screen once we disturbed them as little as possible. we should really go further unlimited. the total number of trips allowed to per day.

but you know how tempting money in business can be the see. and it's vital doubt that this doesn't get out of hand and jeopardize the wild life. this magic we've been able to experience for the last 15 years. you'll see a fits mozy on the national council. on an island as densely populated as level you and your the return of sea turtles and humpback whales presents a rare 2nd chance to get things right. the on the west coast of love for you and your marine reserve has been set up. its goal is to harmonize human activities with wildlife welfare. here the whale calf and his mother have recently been placed under the highest protection. a quiet soon keeps them safe from disturbance and possible collisions with both

the both the baby well and the green sea turtle are just passing through here the . the green sea turtle has reached sexual maturity, which takes upwards of 20 years. now it's time for her to return to the island

where she was born. and so begins an incredible journey to the island of europa. 2000 kilometers west of left virginia, an island that she herself left just a few minutes after hatching. and hasn't returned to since the whale cap is also ready. it is now experienced enough to take on its 1st big journey. since leaving antarctica, its mother has been living off, her fat preserves. she can no longer stay in the water or is of law for you and your the she sets off with her little one in the direction of san marie. the island off the

coast of madagascar is a meeting point for humpback whales on their way to antarctica. the, the ocean currents are favorable and the turtle dress so long towards the coast of the commer rose. her journey takes her past north or in madagascar as she approaches the coast. she's once again confronted with humans. the muffled noises coming from the surface are meant to drive the turtles into them that others have fallen into the trap, but she escaped the space. the

although green turtles are now protected, they are still hunted in madagascar and the calmer of the for the people here who are among the poorest and the world. it's often a matter of survival. the, the green turtle is now approaching the coast of the commerce. she's eaten virtually nothing since leaving left for you on june the. the beautiful sea grass beds of morley island are an important stuff over on the turtles fruit. the

that there are so many green sea turtles here is in large part thanks to the inhabitants of the small village of itsm. yeah. they do their utmost to protect the animals from poachers. here humans and turtles live together in harmony. it's a unique place, the mazda presented some people say, and that's what i've any of them. i protect the turtles because they are a future. you hardly see any turtles in the camaros or anywhere else in the world for us, they are treasures, and all small villages should do what we do. charcoal should be protected worldwide

. that would be a better world, a modern world, and pretty much to have heard about more than 25 years ago. the beaches of it's m yeah were littered with turtle carcases. the slaughter prompted the young people of the village to organize. they decided to take the protection of the sea turtles into their own hands. it was the beginning of an anti poaching movement. the you have to be careful, especially with fishing nets is prohibited in the marine reserve as well. so cool. i think there's a guy we filed several complaints against one up, but someone's always goes to spike and the left legally. they told you before, let's go. this is evidence

today i caught and read 100. i caught them is the least she lives with me. is that you have a lot. i got from the thrust. they dragged through their look at the tracks up to their. oh no, even the eggs they've got really stinks. people who killed turtles, a criminal company as a fan, really hands on him in the village. he's really in for it was that people looked at some yes, program. i've every one of us a want to give them a smack and rush, a case that k is doing it this way in the neighboring villages. i, there are people forget it and others. we just don't want to understand the meet costs and nothing is passed by so many people come here to coach turtles. it's one of quite example for a new vehicle, but the, it's some yes. and the poaching movement has borne results. today some $5000.00

turtles come here every year to lay their eggs on the beaches. but vigilance is still required. people here work together to ensure that the green sea turtles continue to visit the small village for a long time to come. so that future generations can enjoy this rich environmental heritage, the the, the waters around the island of moya lease, or just one stage on the route of our green sea turtle. her journey continues

southwards to europa island, the in just 7 days. the young whale cas and its mother have covered the 700 kilometers, separating left for you in june and madagascar the they make another stop over in the warm and shallow waters of the island of sand must be a welcome committee awaits them on the beach. in winter wales set the rhythm for humans. the arrival of the sea giants here. so close to the coast is always an event. the

the, the 1st came up from the water, then the little one flip, the slipper. the mom came very close to

a rough piece and the baby was on her head. she came closer and closer. so we moved away. what's all this is all that we'll season is a good time for us. i don't know why, but when the wheels are here, the fish show up to the jack macro and to not but somebody level functions on button on. i know so the wheels season is a blessing for us and what tom, i fish close to them, like how to compare to my little boots. they're huge and 9 tiny. fortunately, they're friendly animals. if i told values that this is only about how deceptively peaceful a battle of the titans is brewing in the water. the water is around this smell of gassy island. are the main breeding grounds for

humpback whales and the indian ocean. the competition between the pools is intense . they have just discovered a young female accompanied by her young. the courting bull whales pursue the pair and try to eliminate the competition the same time the they fight each other with powerful flipper blows. and with their snow. also known as rustic rooms. the young female and her cap are surround it by about 10, fiercely determined fools. the seas. boisterous demonstrations of strength can be fatal for the way. okay. the

mother tries to protect her baby by staying very close to it. in the confusion of wail, song and air bubbles, the little one is suddenly separated from its mother. if they were to lose each other, the little well would not be able to survive on its own. but with just a few strokes of her tail fin, the mother is back with her cap. the when the situation threatens to become impossible, there's only one way out. she takes her calf on her back and to send to the surface to remove it from the danger zone. a few hours later, there's only one bull left in the race. he will now be allowed to escort the pair to enter to come. and perhaps, when the young females favor the

after a final battle, his opponents retreat the or this will cast, was less fortunate. after losing contact with his mother, it wandered through the sea for several days before. finally, starving to death on jarra has come to investigate the tragedy. she's the

scientific director of september, the amount of gas, the organization that works to protect humpback whales. the nick or somebody most is gonna do a whale cough can weigh a ton and to be up to 4 or 5 meet as long as you to get to the front. jo creek chef and it needs its mothers protection vehicles. it's survival is dependent on his mother's ability to protect and feed it looks windows on it soon, ability to stay in close proximity to the such a good communication between mouth around this cause this essential acoustic and visual that i could also physical contact. this is sony vocal sequel, visited in context because contact between mother and calf is so vital for the well caps survival. the

pair are in constant communication. the examining, recorded data, malagasy scientists recently discovered new facets of the communication that takes place between the mother well and her young. the

. it is now time for our well calf and its mother to leave the waters of madagascar and set off for antarctica. the europa island, the green sea turtles odyssey, is coming to an end with the help of the ocean currents. she's travelled 2000 kilometers from left for you and young to these meeting grounds. her instincts have served her well. this is where males and females from all corners of the indian ocean meet in the middle of the vast, lonely sea. the island of europa is no waste, is teeming with life. the

4 hours on end, the turtles weighs back and forth with the current, serene, and unflappable. nothing has changed here since she was born. the 2 heads protrude from between the corals. the green sea turtle has found to meet the meeting begins, and it will take several hours the to avoid drowning. the females swims to the surface at regular intervals to breeze

. on a normal state of strength, the, the exhausted she drinks and finally washes up about a 100 meters from the coast by the the turtle is carrying new life within her. in 2 months, she'll entrust her eggs to the sands of your open until then to rest and return the she waits in front of the exact spot where she herself was born. weird, all began some 20 years earlier. when the time comes,

she leaves the sea for the 1st time as an adult, turtle, and ventures to show the task. she used as the tide to climb the beach for body. so light in the water is a burden on land. nevertheless, she climbs as far as possible up the beach to find the ideal nesting spot guided by instinct, she finally dicks the perfect home the

or there she lays around a 100 x or long journey has not been in vain the but the land phase can be risky, the low tide has created a truck, and our inexperience turtle finds herself behind sharp edged rocks. the completely exhausted, she finally reaches the c, the

the mother will and her cap have resumed their journey. together with their escort, they cross the polar front, where the warm waters of the indian ocean meet the cold water is that the antarctic, the, the will caffe, navigates the stormy tides with ease as if the roiling ocean were nothing more than a large playground. the

winter at the south pole is coming to an end. the ice that has sealed at the surface of the water is breaking up, making new habitats accessible. the after the long journey, the pair reached their destination just in time. the ice is melting, and light is finally penetrating the sea again. life is awakening underwater, the the crew are emerging from the depths of the ocean. the vis, annual miracle is a blessing for wildlife higher up the food chain whose survival depends on these tiny crustaceans. from the leopard,

seal the most veracious kind of 4 here. to the smallest penguin. many entered sick animals feed on chris the the whale cap suckling season has just ended now. its enjoying the abundance of available food, the most wide open. it rises from the depths and scoops of tons of water full of crew. the then

closing its josh, it expels the water through the bailey filter trapping the crustaceans on the inside the the young well most now learned to feed itself to round up the crew. it experiments with an unusual hunting technique, a skill that only this species possesses the acid ascends, it flows out a spiral of air bubbles which trap the crustaceans in a bubble net. the caps main

priority now is to build up a thick layer of fat. as quickly as possible, the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, these, that reserves will be crucial for surviving the 6 months of fasting. on the long return journey the
