The perilous migration of the ocean's largest living fish
In short: Researchers travel to the remote Galapagos archipelago to witness a massive migration of whale sharks. This production explores how these giants navigate dangerous currents to reach vital breeding grounds.
The film follows a scientific team to the Galapagos to study the movement of hundreds of pregnant female whale sharks. These "dinosaurs of the sea" must navigate a narrow reef and brave hazardous currents off the coast of Darwin Island.
By observing this sensational migration, researchers aim to better understand the life cycles and behaviors of these massive marine creatures in one of the world's most isolated oceanic environments.
