Nature Collection 05 - The Great Feast 2of5 - 2009 - Nature's Great Events with Chinese Subtitle

Nature Collection 05 - The Great Feast 2of5 - 2009 - Nature's Great Events Ep06 with Simplified Chinese Subtitle - In the north-east Pacific, along the coastal waters of Alaska and British Columbia, the arrival of the summer sun triggers an explosion of plant life greater in scale than even the Amazon rainforest. The feast draws in huge amounts of wildlife including billions of herring; Steller's sea lions, who race against time to make the most of the abundant fish before the harsh winter closes in; and humpback whales that migrate all the way from Hawaii. Remarkably, the basis of all this life is something so small that it's hardly visible to the naked eye. The sun sparks the growth of this phytoplankton the microscopic floating plants that are the basis of all life here. And both whales and sea lions have to overcome many obstacles before they can take advantage of the feast. This episode films a heart-rending scene where a mother loses her pup in a violent summer storm. A struggle for life between a killer whale and a one tonne sea lion male is also filmed for the first time above and below water. As well as the summer sun, the other key element that underpins the massive plankton bloom is the coastal landscape. The complex coastline of islands, inlets and channels interrupts ocean currents and so brings nutrients to the surface, fuelling the plankton bloom. In late summer the bloom is at its height and vast shoals of herring gather to feed. Murres, small diving birds, round up a ball of herring and dart in to pick off fish. The underwater images show these graceful birds "flying" around the bait balls. And, after a 6,000 mile round trip to Hawaii, the whales have returned and remarkable underwater footage reveals how one whale scoops up the entire ball of herring in one huge mouthful. When a dozen whales converge, they employ the ultimate co-operative way to harvest the riches of the seas through bubble net feeding. One whale blows a ring of bubbles to engulf the shoal of herring and then they charge in. Nature's Great Events is a wildlife documentary series made for BBC television, first shown in the UK on BBC One and BBC HD in February 2009. The series looks at how seasonal changes powered by the sun cause shifting weather patterns and ocean currents, which in turn create the conditions for some of the planets most spectacular wildlife events. Each episode focuses on the challenges and opportunities these changes present to a few key species. Nature's Great Events was produced by the BBC Natural History Unit in association with the Discovery Channel and Wanda Films. The British version of the series was narrated by David Attenborough. In the USA, the series was shown under the alternative title Nature's Most Amazing Events beginning on 29 May 2009 and was narrated by Hasani Issa.
