Big Pacific: Where Predators & Storms Reign
Synopsis
One hundred sixty-six million square kilometers make up the Pacific Ocean, a region marked by violent clashes among its diverse wildlife.
Synopsis
Humpback whales migrate 4,000 kilometers each winter to mate in the Pacific Ocean. As adult males compete for the attention of females, they engage in violent clashes known as heat runs. On Snake Island, saltwater crocodiles assert dominance in their territory, with less than one percent of juveniles surviving to adulthood. The Pacific also faces threats from human activity, with remnants of war, like Mitsubishi Zero planes, transforming into artificial reefs that support marine life.
