Someone I worked with recently recommended that I should watch: My Octopus Teacher on Netflix. It's an incredibly beautiful and moving documentary about an Octopus in a kelp forest and a diver.
To digress for a paragraph or a second. I was standing at the pier waiting for the ferry last week and two work colleagues and I were watching Jelly fish close to the harbour wall. I asked one of my workmates what purpose did Jellyfish serve? He wasn't sure!
That night I asked Doctor Google and I read that they don't have brains, eyes or a heart and are made up of ninety five percent water. They eat plankton and fish eat them. They are all part of the food chain and all creatures play a part in providing food for every living creature.
That's the same message I get from the documentary. It's incredibly beautiful, poignant and sheds a light on the world under the water. It's excellent!
OMG!!! I watched the trailer and I will definitely watch this on Netflix!
ReplyDeleteIt's very good Rachel. I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteAin't nature grand!
ReplyDeleteWe are no more important than anything else on this planet. We each have our place.
ReplyDeleteYep JayCee. It's just us humans who mess it up for the rest of nature.
ReplyDeleteI agree the veg artist. We all play our part be it big or small.
ReplyDeleteI must look out for the film. Sort of thing we would both like. Though k, being a fisher of them, does prefer his octopus grilled.
ReplyDeleteThey are very intelligent. Fascinating creatures
Octopus are very intelligent.
It's an award winning documentary Linda. They are fascinating creatures and intelligent and sensitive.
DeleteWhen you said that "they don't have brains, eyes or a heart", I thought you were describing the last president of the USA. It is obvious that the purpose of a jelly fish is to advertise jelly - a much underrated food product.
ReplyDeleteHa,ha. I saw jellyfish close to the harbour wall today. They say it's a sign that good weather is on it's way.
