more accustomed to sub-saharan africa which has adapted very easily to the harshness of the russian winter they have been known to attack domestic animals which have never charged to humans who are struggling for. peter the great day in the sea of japan is famous among divers around the world even veteran divers are amazed by some of its inhabitants but diving is a journey dolly is always an adventure. local divers rarely visit to the scenes the waters close to home fall more diverse harvest so much interest than lifetimes can be spent exploring. for dmitri who to this diving is more than a hobby it is his livelihood his video camera hardly ever leaves his side he

scrutinizes it before a plunge even a few drops of salty sea water leaking into the protective housing could ruin the film. this holy ghost writes my first experience with a video camera hearing it gone. and since there have been totally carried away by it all my thoughts my business i'm afraid saw i'm revolved around underwater photography but when the review from to the full any dive getting a team together is of utmost importance the lives dictate that at least three divers are present at any one time to be underwater. to help the other in case of an emergency the third remains in the motor but half. of all of you want to do the story of so much i've literally been counting down the

days of the hour i was one of the first to go into the water. this year i've been going through four times a week. the same goes for last year. for you this right i'm going to start hearing some kills that. piece of the great day in the sea of japan most of the islands in the surrounding waters of protected areas to me trees keep them on the wall to marvels his favorite diving spots is in the far east moviemaker choosing. a job with how deep is it here five metres. blistering quickly. could surely a color and shape of flora and fauna on the shores of the day are the result of

evolution in a hushed environment i mean it is too cold for the natives of the southern seas but too hot for the plankton and fish coming from the north. quite a few local animals have an unusual appearance to such as this alligator fish host of myths have sprung up around it fishermen believe that they have mystical powers some believe an encounter with them portends a bountiful catch others think it signals an approaching storm but in reality they are useless and harmless creatures as far as humans are concerned they're no good as food and only feed on tiny crayfish and other invertebrates they locate them with the help of a long snout. everything on it is unique in its own way and. when you dive you see something in the water. but

a couple of days later it might be totally different. that in this way you learn something new every time you discover something you didn't know anything about. scientists at the far east marine nature reserve were not aware of its existence they asked him to show it to them if he ever saw it again unfortunately for dimitri it was a one off. divers can stay underwater between thirty minutes and then our divers have to surface afterwards to have a rest and change their tactics cool. there are some three hundred species of fish in peter the great day alone they're the subject of several research institutes five hundred metres the bays in the coastline is also part of the far east marine nature reserve the hills and thick forests of the territory if they could there over parts nature reserve it was established in the early

twentieth century after the region was subjected to de forest station the handsome inhabitants falling prey to poachers today many of the species are thought to be on the verge of extinction for example only forty far eastern leopards remain here. so ok irony of works for the worldwide fund for nature each spring and summer he sets up so-called camera traps on trails where leopards look for prey this practice dates back to two thousand and two but if you want to catch them in the act you need to get inside the mind of a leopard you need to imagine that you are the predator then you will know the leopards ways you will know that he will choose mountain ridges and ranges to have a good view of everything around him in such a position he can sniff out his prey from the breeze that comes over the slopes then he will go about planning his attack. the first camera traps were equipped with regular film and now digital cameras are used

to capture footage every leopard has a unique pattern of spots the markings help researchers identify leopards each animal caught on film is given a name that you need two of these cameras to get snapshots of a leopard on your clothes because the spots on one side differ from those on the other and consequently you need to make sure that the leopard is in full view from every angle. two camera traps are lined up on both sides of the trail special care is taken to make sure they're at the same level of of ground so they know the several instances of leopards taking a camera away therefore he uses steel wire to keep it in place. if there were we are going to identify the little bird by most of the spots on its body. so what we're going to do is make sure that the cameras are placed at the right level i

mean. if we were leopards on a trail we would realize that this twigs stands in our way for me for these unique shots were taken by the world wide fund for nature i thought camera traps were installed emigrated from their african homeland thousands of years ago since then they have learned to live in snow and become a species in their own right thick fur a bushy tail and gray eyes distinguish they are more or less put from other species the first infantry of these animals was taken in one thousand nine hundred two there were some forty individuals at the time since then the situation has not improved more than fifty leopards are thought to be necessary for the survival of the species but with only forty thought to be left they continue to survive somehow .

reserve staff regularly tours of the far east marine nature reserve one of the miss valentino resorts come with every group she leads out of the list of strict rules tourists are supposed to follow. the directions i was in when i landed at kate's aznavour i should remind you that this is a protected area it is strictly forbidden to take anything from this reserve or any other reserve for that matter that it is also you are not to pick up anything from the sea like this way tourists of the reserve have to take street paths they are not supposed to leave the trail or seek detours but once they reach the top they are awarded with a spectacular sight these sculptures of the results of the wind and sea eroding the rocks over millions of years extraordinary trees have taken root here to the crime

with the gold and these japanese red fine is more commonly known as the gravesite time writing this is because it's also found in south korea where it's a symbol of mourning in such trees are planted on grace there. unlike other trees if it prefers to grow on rocky coasts in many cases the roots of such trees stick out of the shale. bolshoi pale is island ranger igor cotton stays here in the far east marine nature reserve a small outpost for months on end. the bay near his makeshift home is an ideal place for monitoring fish. alexander marquis of each a marine biologist is a frequent visitor to the pale as island. bullet hole is being funneled into new tires. his diving gear travels with

him wherever he goes but his work place is the sea floor twice a day he goes on the water to study the behavior of fish and the natural environment for years little bit i have befriended some of the fish. and i have regular contact with them. because some of them spawn here in mid september. sometimes a female fish sticks around here for several days. my trucker movements to see where she spawns in the kitty shares. alexander needs to locate and catch several fish species to carry out d.n.a. tests the results are in corporations in a single database under an international program.

during his first dive he has enough time to catch the fish he needs for analysis for the second he will do nothing but watch as he keeps still half a meter above the sea floor. alexander will be there for as long as the oxygen in his tanks lasts. a year. i work with marine life in its own environment with i have to wreck contact with it much in the same way as the ologists on land a few. years of the trouble though is that i can only stay underwater for short while. this exposes me to only a few fragments of the world underwater. other aspects elude me unless i spend years studying them. so i have to put the bits and bobs of the music together to try and form a complete picture of very. thing. of

the three hundred fish species in the promote ski region some one hundred inhabit the southern sea and summer they migrate to the north like birds to waiting for them is a wealth of food and spawning grounds in winter the rain life in the peter the great day is less active about one third of the marine mammals had south. cultures the same of the taxpayer's money coming advice is never real craziness the hero of crisis without end eurozone leaders and national governments continue to be at loggerheads on how to rescue a currency. in canada and the us that it is legal for you to use a bubble bath on your baby they contains

eager caton is a ranger at the far east marine nature reserve he is famous for his knowledge of common seals since he began studying them in one nine hundred ninety six eagle has defended a thesis and written many scientific papers on the subject he spends nearly all his time on ellis island. we're on the lookout for possible intruders along the reserves perimeter. the closest seal nursery can be clearly seen from here. it's possible to monitor the twenty four hour movement of incoming and outgoing seals. the for most true reason is the sales of the most habit scientists don't yet know how these arctic sales coped with the summer heat most of them had to other seeds for feeding but they always return here a breeding a common seals of peta the great ballet never make with seals from other regions equal cotton made this discovery after monitoring the colonies for an entire year.

now we're going to see what's happening on the kin tavor islands. all three of them . does where we find a seal or three with all the mothers and seal pups. as long as there are no stores to speak of cats and has to the nearby islands almost every day. when there are no seals on the beach because x. tufts of the fur and sends them to the fortress for genetic analysis when the mammals return he stays in a hideout taking pictures and filming from afar. they can't see me if i watch them from here so they will act in their normal manner

communicating and bracing for more of what i figure there are at least two hundred seals here through three. this is some of the eager captains footage of a newborn seal another discovery made by catton is a common sales of the mostly region freedomland all of the seal species breed on ice floes in the open sea winter or searchers have spent years flying around over ice flows seeking out the local colonies as it turned out common seals give birth to their pups in secluded no under the overhang in cliffs above i saw several hundred baby seals all at once it was purely by chance even though i had intended on seeing such a thing anyway. little a monkey should eat and we should behave as if we're scared out of our wits a decisive vision a most unusual. definitely deliberately are if we can help it.

if we look at them at all which just steal. lots of akaka. if a seal comes close to you just relax to keep still and i'll take pictures of you verse for face and office what you what. dimitri who this is a diver an amateur cameraman he often goes to the cliffs and islands inhabited by common seals they are highly organized and capricious animals. filming them can be a difficult task sometimes they approach divers to bite on their flippers more often than not they play hide and seek with the seals tease the divers darting away before picture can be taken. when you look into their eyes you can see how gentle and straightforward they really are.

just like children. i mean that's reason enough to. get. common sales have almost no animals in the wilds the islands of peter the great they are inhabited by thousands of. seal hunting in the reserve is banned and even then scientists are anxious about the future of the population. must work also because they are so susceptible to any external influence that it is almost impossible to protect them occurred for example if an oil tanker capsizes here right now we will clean the shores up believe this happens in february all the newborn seals will die obviously it is much easier to preserve the leopard as a species. alexei costlier is a biologist he is one of the few people to have an official license to catch

leopards. alexei's job is to set up special snares and measure length of tracks to determine the direction of their movements he hopes that several of the predators will end up in his traps in the autumn. we set up no more than twenty snares on two or three trails there is no point in placing more than that because we simply do not have the time. since one thousand nine hundred for such snares has been set up once every three or four years a leopard that gets caught is inspected and then set free this process is part of an international program for the protection of rare animals the loop is disguised with twigs around it arranged in such a way as to deceive the cautious animal into stepping on the snare. fourth with the feline will always step over anything lying in its path it won't even step on such a thin little stick so i'm going to put

a small block of wood across the path in such a way that a leopard stepping over it with one paw gets the other caught in the snare of the hold of. the traps a leopard is shocked with a tranquilizer. once asleep scientists take skin samples draw blood and collect bits of further tests. and measure its blood pressure pulse and carry out an ultrasound test before the leopard wakes up they also put a g.p.s. collar around its neck it will track its movements and send real time data via satellite. with after fixing a collar around its neck we release the animal back into the wild. this tells environmental organizations how much territory peace animals will need for their

protection. also the color will let us track the animals whereabouts and how they use their habitat what is in this way we will know which places are more important than others we have less. than ten years of using camera traps have produced a wealth of archive footage scientists are quite familiar with a leopard named stamps he has been caught on film on several occasions. this clip shows two leopards but the unique thing about this video is that the male is in front of the female apparently paying no attention to her the female is trailing behind she seems to be flirting with a male something that's not typical of predators for the male as well advanced in years he has earned respect of his peers he is allowed the pick of the ladies for her part the female seems to have taken quite

a liking to the male of. the natural environment of the primeau ski region constantly surprises its explorers familiar and well documented animals act completely differently here local plans to not resemble the counterparts elsewhere guides always make a point of stressing the fact as they take tourists around the reserve. yes my video here we see a very old ash tree it's probably about eighty years old it looks quite young because of its many trunks and stocky parents the strong winds have changed the shape of the leaves home is that according to one theory there was a tropical climate here until the last ice age the ice compelled many species of animals and plants to move here from the north as a result local plants and animals adapted to the new living conditions by changing their appearance climatic conditions changed even the pattern of the coastline the

so-called false island as one of the stops on the top one is busy and fifteen kilometer speed of sound links this time hector area to the mainland. that's when they're happy seasoned downpours salty sea water floods it and this is so called phone silent actually ans out as one. of. the ring reserve was established in one nine hundred seventy two since then the underwater world that they become much richer and more diverse divers see it with their own eyes. that vision and. i think happiness is when you're able to do something that you

really love you know and of course really has a purpose of the same time with the with the people but it was worth the material for other people or try and show them a whole new worlds are trying to open their eyes about diving. nobody but a diver can witness a battle between crabs and their credit. says he. only a diver can appreciate the diversity of stuff fish and make friends with an octopus . and a really productive beautiful dive with some amazing impressions of as a real success i'm so happy with the results of. the sea of japan is home to an enormous range of fish. to me to me or does hopes that in the distant future he will be able to say that he has visited every single

magoon on every island and key to the great day but it may take him more than one lifetime as he has barely seen a fraction of the wealth this land has to offer. in
