Shark School (2019) - full transcript

Welcome to
Shark School

where the cutest fish in the
sea go to learn and have fun.

Here come Bella and her best
buddy Milo riding the waves,

swimming to class.

They can't wait for
their lesson today

because to be a smart
little fish is the best.

Bella and Milo rush to see
Professor Fins,

the best teacher in the reef,

she knows everything and more
about the world we live in.

Good bubbles Professor Fins.

Happy waves Professor Fins.



They love
their teacher

and can't wait to get learning.

They know the days fun
is just beginning.

Bella, Milo so nice to
see you today.

Did you come to Shark
School to learn and to play?

You bet Professor Fins.

We're here to find out facts
and have fun.

I hope my brain gets filled
with anything I can learn.

Me too.

Shark School is the best
school in the world,

I would never miss a day.

We waited all night and
then almost waited all day

to come to Shark School and
learn away.

Yes, we love to listen
to our teacher



and learn about everything in
the ocean and in the world.

That's the spirit
little ones.

To learn is the best.

I'm gonna help you with
any questions you have.

Get ready for Shark School.

You'll have a great time.

Bubbletastic Professor Fins,
can't wait to get started.

My fish brain is
ready to learn.

What is the lesson about
today Professor Fins?

The lesson today is
about the ocean.

I love the ocean,
it's our home.

Alright, let's not waste time.

Let's get ready to know!

Shark School is in session.

Here we go!

Bubbles!

Bubbles!

Lobsters can be spiny
with antennas

or have sharp claws
to eat dinner.

Lobsters have a hard shell
called an exoskeleton,

it protects them.

Lobsters shed their shells
to grow called molting,

this leaves them weak
and vulnerable.

Lobsters have 10 legs

like crabs and shrimps,
their relatives.

Lobsters use their claws to eat,

they catch and slice fish meat.

Lobsters curl and uncurl
their fan like tails.

They also swim back and
forth to escape fast.

Lobsters have a great
sense of smell,

when food crawls close by they
can tell.

Lobsters eat both plants
and meat,

on worms, algae
and fish they feed.

Lobsters can live
really long lives

avoiding a fisherman's
net, they can survive.

Lobster eggs are called roe

mama's carry them around in tow.

There are lots of
different lobster species

all over the world they live in
the sea.

Lobsters feed at the
bottom of the sea,

there they find clams
and snails to eat.

Lobster claws are
also called pincers,

one is to crush,
the other to mince.

Wow, who knew lobsters were
so cool, what personalities!

And what pizazz.

I bet somebody could even keep

a pet lobster if they wanted to.

Actually there have
been pet lobsters Bella.

Can you walk them on a leash?

Can you teach them to fetch?

Well, there was once
a writer who was famous

for having a pet lobster.

The poet, Gérard de Nerval,

he loved his pet lobster
and even took it on walks

using a long blue ribbon
as a leash.

I bet it could fetch too.

Maybe it did.

What other interesting
animals is the ocean full of?

Oh there are plenty Bella.

Where would you like to start?

Let's start with something
smart that has a big brain,

somebody who could come
to Shark School

with us Professor Fins.

Alrighty then,
it seems only fair

to start with the octopus!

An octopus?

You mean that wild looking
thing with all the long arms?

That's the one Milo.

Pay attention you two
you're about to find out

what the octopus and it's
eight tentacles is all about.

Octopuses are sea animals,

they live in oceans
and tropical waters.

Octopus like to eat lobster
and other fish meat,

crabs and shrimp are some
favorite treats.

Octopus can squeeze
into tight spaces,

they have no skeleton and big
round faces.

Rows of suction sensors
line an octopuses limbs,

they stick them in rock
cracks to find food within.

Octopuses have a great escape,

they squirt a dark liquid
around an attackers face.

Some octopus crawl on
the ocean floor

hunting for crabs
and shrimp and more.

Octopuses are magicians
of the sea,

they escape attackers by
squirting liquid that is inky.

Octopus change color
on their skin

to that of plants and
rocks so they blend in.

Like parrots,
octopus have beaks,

they use it to crack
open crabs and shellfish.

Octopuses have globed
shaped heads,

bulging eyes
and eight long tentacles.

Some octopus arms
have suction cups,

it helps them pick seafood up.

If an octopus loses an
arm it will grow back,

it will do him no harm.

Octopus drop down on their prey,

long limbs pull it in their
mouths and they munch away.

Octopuses have eight long
limbs called tentacles,

these arms are
flexible and thin.

A thick, dark fluid clouds
the water to confuse,

the octopus escapes,
attackers give up and lose.

An octopus uses his powerful
arms when

he lifts rocks to build
a safe, cozy sea den.

Whoa, octopi really are smart.

And so are you Milo,

for using another plural
term for the animal.

Whacha mean by that professor?

I mean one octopus
is an octopus

and while it's perfectly
okay to call several octopus

octopuses, they can
also be called octopi.

Eight octopi each with
eight long tentacles.

Will they get all tangled up?

That's a tentacled
twister of a riddle Milo.

I want to learn about a pretty
fish next Professor Fins.

The most famous clown
fish you probably know

is the star of the Disney
movie, Finding Nemo.

Clown fish and sea anemones
live together and thrive,

they help each other so
both can survive.

Sea anemones are
plant like animals,

they protect clown fish
with stinging tentacles.

Sea anemones live on
coral or rocks,

clown fish homes are
around and about.

All clown fish are born males,

the strongest of the
bunch then turn female.

Clown fish, also known as
anemone fish,

live in warm ocean waters
like in the Pacific.

Clown fish defend areas around
their home,

they even attack divers
who swim near anemones.

Clown fish are small
and eat plants or meat

on algae and plankton and
anemone leftovers they feed.

Most clown fish have orange
and black bodies with stripes,

their vertical stripes
are a very bright white.

Clown fish live in groups
called schools,

these little fish are
pretty cool.

Orange stripes, white stripes?

Is the clown fish an orange
fish with white stripes?

Or a white fish with
orange stripes?

Show us more cool fish
from the ocean professor.

Ones that swim far and fast,

they can navigate
tangley seaweed

and coral mazes with ease!

Oh please, oh please!

Okay Milo, okay.

There's no need to beg.

Lots of fishes do fun things
when they're not laying eggs.

Let's meet some of them.

Whoa ho, let's do it!

Yeah!

Puffer fish are gentle
and swim kinda slow,

when threatened their bodies
puff up three times more.

Puffer fish transform from
thin to round and fat,

some have sharp spines
imagine that.

Puffer fish are known
by other names

blow fish and balloon
fish are one and the same.

Puffer fish can grown to a very
long size,

some can get as big as a
shark or baby crocodile.

Puffer fish fill their stomachs
with air, bloat and all,

they fill up and turn
into big round balls.

A puffer fish skin
releases toxins

it can be deadly to
anyone that touches him.

Puffer fish can look at
two things at one time,

their unique eyesight helps
them see predators fine.

Puffer fish can change
the color of their skin,

they can match plants and
rocks so they blend in.

Puffer fish have teeth, it
helps them eat shellfish.

How was that my dear pupils?

Was that fish enough fun?

Did you hear all you
wanted to hear?

Or shall we meet another one?

Let's meet another.

Yeah, we could meet
fish all day

and play and flip
and float and flounder

til we up and swim away.

Lion fish have a
whole lot of names,

dragon, tiger, zebra,
or a turkey fish are one and the same.

Lion fish bodies have
beautiful stripes,

some colors are red,
orange, black and white.

Lion fish live near coral reefs,

in rock cracks they
hide and feed.

Lion fish have poisonous
spines on their back,

they use them if
an enemy attacks.

Lion fish are beautiful
but do not pet them,

the spines on their back
contain powerful venom.

Lion fish like to eat meat,

fish and shrimp is
in their diet.

Lion fish hunt both
night and day,

they catch lots of fish
by surprise that way.

Lion fish eat so
many different fish

they are causing
problems in the reef.

Wow professor what a
character that lion fish can be.

What other cool animals lurk in
the sea?

Well I could talk fish
with fins and gills all day

but let's turn our
attention to those

that are found in the bay

like these long
legged little fellas.

Who's that walking sideways?

It is a crab with 10 legs.

Not all crabs walk the same way,

come crawl forwards and
backwards, some sideways.

Some crabs swim
with their hindlegs,

a hard shell
protects their head.

Crabs are called crustaceans,

arthropods with
external skeletons.

Crabs legs can bend, they use
their front claws for defense.

Crab claws are also
called pincers,

they use them to crush
food like mincers.

Crabs use their claws to rip
their food,

they use them as scissors
to cut it up good.

If a crab loses a claw
or a leg in a fight,

it eventually grows back in the
same site.

Crabs have eye stalks
set up high,

their eyes see all
around and up to the sky.

Crabs eat both plants and meat,

some crabs can climb trees.

A group of crabs is
called a cast,

they work together to
find food fast.

Some crabs eat off
the sea floor,

they like worms, snails,
clams and more.

Crabs use their claws like we
use a fork,

they rip their foods then
bring it to their mouth.

The coconut crab is really big,

he lives on ocean
islands near the Pacific.

Crab bodies are flexible
and flat,

they can squeeze through
narrow rock gaps.

Their eyes set high, crabs
can see what is hiding

beneath rocks, coral mud
and debris.

Have you ever eaten a small pea?

The pea crab is that tiny.

Crabs talk to each other
in many ways,

when they flap or drum their
claws what do they say?

Good golly those crabs remind
me of underwater spiders.

That's right and there
are so many of them,

they're absolutely everywhere
all over the seabed.

That's right you two,
they are.

And here is another animal
that's in no short supply.

Some shrimp are barely big
enough to see,

tiger shrimps are big as
lobsters comparatively.

Shrimps are small shellfish,

to lots of predators
they are a tasty dish.

Some shrimp make a lot of noise,

they snap pincers together,
their large and small claws.

Lots of sea animals love
to eat shrimp,

people also think
shrimp is delicious.

Shrimps have a long body
with a shell,

a whole lot of legs and antenna.

There are thousands of
different shrimp species,

some live in fresh water,
others in the deep sea.

Shrimp eat tiny plants,
fish and more,

they find meals in the
water or on the ocean floor.

Shrimp live together in schools,

they move fast and can
even swim backwards too.

Some shrimp clean other fish,

eating organisms off them
they get a tasty dish.

Wow shrimps kind of
remind me of lobsters.

Lots of animals share
traits in the sea Milo.

If you look long enough
you'll see similarities

in many of them.

Let's keep learning professor,

by golly let's keep learning.

Get a hold of yourself Milo,
you're going into a frenzy.

Frenzy?

That's for sharks I don't wanna
get caught up in that crowd.

Here is another fish that
likes a crowd.

Koi fish are a kind of carp,

their bodies are like colorful
fish art.

Koi fish live in
fresh water ponds,

people love to watch
them swim around.

Koi fish are pretty big,

some look like giant goldfish.

Koi fish can be white or black,

their red, orange or yellow
with spots on their back.

Koi fish eat plants and meat,

they like fish eggs,
watermelon even peas.

Some koi fish owners
actually can

get koi fish to eat out
of their hands.

Koi fish need shade
or shadow overhead

or they can get sunburned
on their heads.

So many koi colors, some dark,
some light,

with lots of different
patterns and scale types.

Koi are originally from
China or Japan,

friendly fish some will
eat out of your hands.

These garden fish are
hardy and decorative,

for hundreds of years
they can live.

Some people love to own koi,

they believe these fish
bring luck and joy.

Koi are cute and such
colorful fish.

I'd have a koi pond all to
myself if I had my wish.

Not me, to much ruckus,
I need room to swim.

What about play Milo?

You like to play?

Yes I do.

Dolphins are fun
and really smart.

One of the friendliest
marine animals on earth.

Dolphins are marine mammals,

they are friendly,
playful animals.

Some people relate
dolphins to dogs,

both are friendly and
like to play with balls.

Dolphins do not drink
from the sea,

eating fish they get
all the water they need.

Dolphins have teeth
but do not chew,

they catch, gulp, swallow the
whole food.

Females dolphins are called
cows, really?

Males are called bulls,
babies calves that is funny.

Dolphins live in pods of
about a dozen,

jumping out of the water
you see them coming.

To swim dolphins move
their tails up and down,

they love to surf waves,
play and fool around.

Dolphins must come up to
the surface to breath,

through blowholes on their
heads, this is achieved.

Dolphins eat herring
and cod and squid,

they also eat mackerel
and other fish.

Killer whales or orcas
are in the dolphin family,

but they are a lot bigger
and fierce and mighty.

Killer whales eat birds,
octopus and lots of fish,

sharks and sea lions
are also a tasty dish.

Dolphins must come up for
air to breathe,

they jump out of the
water, happy and free.

It is fun to watch dolphins jump
and play,

they click and whistle when
they have something to say.

Dolphins have great
hearing and eyesight,

they are friendly to
divers and do not bite.

Dolphins are cool and
smart don't you know.

If any fish swim fast like
them I'd sure like to know.

We're covering them
all Milo, one by one.

When it's over you'll know every
sea creature under the sun.

Really?

That's great, tell me more,
tell me more professor,

I just can't stand it.

Ah, we might need to
give Milo a chance

to chill out professor, I've
never seen him like this.

It's not unusual Bella,
the rush of knowledge

can sometimes drive a fish over
the edge.

Especially one as young and
impressionable as Milo here.

We'll slow down, let him recover

and while we wait Bella
I'll show you another.

Oh goodie!

Who is that swimming
in the deep blue sea?

It is the beluga whale looking
at me.

What swims backwards in the sea?

A beluga whale happy and free.

Beluga whales live in groups
called pods,

they're flexible neck
bobs and nods.

Beluga whales are kind of small.

Clicks, clangs and
whistles hear them call.

Belugas have large mouths that
open wide

to scoop crabs, shrimp
and sea worms inside.

On mama's back baby
belugas ride.

As they grow they
swim by her side.

Beluga heads are shaped
like a big ball.

For whales, they are
known to be quite small.

Born gray or brown, they later
turn white.

Seeing beluga whales is a
beautiful sight.

Blubber is what they
call whale fat.

Blubber keeps whales warm
like a coat or a hat.

Beluga whales have
flexible necks,

they nod like they
are saying yes.

Beluga whales swim through the
ocean fast.

Look now, I see one racing past.

Beluga whales skin is covered
with hair.

They need to swim to the surface
for air.

Wow, the belugas one wild
ocean whale.

Are there any other whales
who can tell such a tale?

Whales are amazing Bella.

The belugas just the start.

They're all tremendous
creatures with brains,

strength and heart.

Whales do not have
lungs like us,

instead they breath
air through blowholes

on the top of their head.

Blue whales are the
largest animal on earth.

But to find one in the
ocean you have to search.

Blue whales are so huge

yet they eat tiny animals
called krill for food.

Blue whales travel through the
ocean vast

searching for places where
lots of krill swim past.

Blue whale sounds are the
loudest of all,

for miles underwater
you can hear them call.

Blue whales do not sleep
completely.

They must swim to the
surface and breath deeply.

Blue whales swim through the
open sea.

These huge animals need
lots of space to be free.

Blue whales eat krill in a
strange way,

they open their mouths
and trap their prey.

Blue whales love to sing.

They look bluer when
they are diving.

Blue whales do not have teeth.

They swim when they sleep.

Blue whale fat is
called blubber.

They eat lots of
krill for supper.

They used to be hunted
for blubber and oil.

In some places that is
not legal anymore.

Whales do not lay eggs
like fish,

like us, they give
birth to children.

Whales are marine mammals.

They are very smart animals.

Blue whales talk to
each other in song.

They chirp, squeak and slap
their tales all day long.

They filter food through
plates called baleen.

Made of keratin,
that is a protein.

Water swallowed with
krill is released.

Krill trapped in it's mouth
is gulped down, delicious.

You're right professor
I love these great whales,

such colors and sounds
and fins and tails.

Yeah show us more professor,
I promise I'll stay calm.

I'll be quiet as a jellyfish

and not explosive as a sea bomb.

Alright then,
let's keep learning.

Let's go.

Killer whales are
called orcas too.

Imagine this huge mammal
swimming towards you.

Orcas are called wolves
of the sea,

they sneak up on prey and
attack them with glee.

Each day orcas eat 500 pounds.

They'll eat any sea
animal that can be found.

Orcas like to slap their tails,

they make a big splash
even for a whale.

Orcas live and hunt in pods.

They have really gigantic bods.

Orcas have lots of
big sharp teeth

to tear and rip apart fish meat.

A group of orcas is
called a pack,

watch out when a bunch of
them feels like a snack.

Orcas can swallow
sea lions whole.

They catch them sleeping
on big ice floes.

If orcas leap from water
in an ocean dance

the ice it lands on
does not stand a chance.

Orcas eat walruses
and seals for food.

Sea turtles and squid,
they swallow them too.

Orcas backs are black,
their stomachs white,

their ginormous bodies
are quite a sight.

Orcas are whales
and have a dorsal fin.

They jump out of the water
in a big splashy spin.

Wow the killer whale,
black and white like a panda,

but big as a whale.

And so loyal too, they love
their family

just like people do.

That's right kids, whales
are the ambassadors of the sea.

Ambassadors?

What does that mean professor?

I'm glad you asked Milo.

An ambassador is someone
who acts as a promoter

or a representative
of an activity.

Oh like a boss.

No, not exactly Milo.

An ambassador is just
a front person,

not the person in charge.

So an ambassador is like
the face of an activity?

More or less, yes Bella.

And when a lot of folks
think about the ocean

and all the wonderful sea
creatures in it

they often think of whales.

Wow that's a pretty cool
animal to be

the first thing someone thinks
of when

they think of all the
animals swimming in the sea.

Yeah.

Well many ocean animals that
are popular

but there are some that are
just fins above the rest.

And whales are one of those.

Tell us more about
ocean animals professor.

We don't want this class
to ever end.

He's right professor,
we don't.

I'm afraid that would
be one long class kids,

I'd probably definitely
lose my voice.

Oh no, we don't want that.

Whatever would we do
with out you fun

and informative
teachings professor?

Yeah, we'd be lost,
we'd be bummed,

we'd be like bumps on a coral.

We mentioned jellyfish
earlier professor,

can you tell us more about them?

I sure can Bella,
get yourselves ready for some jellyfish.

Jellyfish are mostly
made of water.

They do not have blood or
brains like they oughta.

Jellyfish are made of water,
like the sea.

No brains or blood,
hard to believe.

Jellyfish are not fish at all.

Some look like umbrellas.

Jellyfish live in the
ocean blue.

Some you can see right through.

Some jellyfish are big,
some are small.

Some are so tiny you
cannot see them at all.

Jellyfish have long
tentacles or limbs.

If you touch them it can hurt
and sting.

Jellyfish use their
tentacles to hunt for food.

They gather in large groups
called blooms.

Jellyfish eat plankton
and tiny fish.

Their tentacles sweep food
in their mouths with a swish.

Jellyfish are creatures
of the sea.

Do not touch them
they can sting.

Sometimes called jellies
these strange creatures

fascinate people with
their strange features.

Jellyfish bodies pulse
up and down

that is how they swim around.

Saucer jellyfish are
sometimes called moons.

There's are commonly
found in aquarium zoos.

Whoa, jellyfish are
like ghosts of the sea.

They really are,

they even look like
they're wearing sheets.

They're all like wooooooo.

Ooh.

Some of them look like ghosts,
some look like ballerinas.

Some look like space saucers.

What about those that glow?

And those that flow?

Some of them even
look like bells.

And some look
like shower caps.

Wish I could ride
one through the waves.

We'll make a jellyfish
friend and go for a swim.

Eels look like snakes
but they are fish.

They find worms, shrimp,
and snails a tasty dish.

Moray eels are long skinny fish.

They hide behind rocks and
grab food with a swish.

Eels have gills and sharp teeth.

There are hundred of
different eel species.

Some eels have a dorsal fin.

It helps them balance
and to swim.

Some eels bodies are smooth.

In a wave like motion
they swim and move.

Sneaky moray eels do not chase
their prey,

they hide, grab and eat
what ever swims their way.

Eels can live in so many places,

coral reefs, deep seas,
rivers, and small rock spaces.

There are many foods eels like
to eat,

on worms, snails, frogs,
and shrimp they feed.

Congers and morays are some
common eels.

Snails and worms are some
of their favorite meals.

Some eels eat octopus and squid.

They can be very aggressive.

Some eels have bright
patterned bodies.

Others are simple black
or gray colors.

Some eels live way
down in the sea,

in mud or sand on
the ocean floor deep.

Some eels live in
fresh water ponds

in rivers and lakes
they can also be found.

Eels, they're a fish but
they look like jumping ropes.

Or snakes that can swim.

They hide in the rocks.

And can surprise you
out of nowhere like boom.

They sure can,
I don't like surprises.

And those eyes they're
always staring,

what are they looking at?

Actually most eels
can't see very well Bella

so when you think they're
staring you down

they're probably just
trying to see you better

to figure out what you are.

And to figure out if
you're a meal.

Yikes.

Manta ray bodies
are big and flat.

Their shape helps them
swim fast like that.

Manta rays eat lots of plankton.

Plankton is super tiny
organisms.

Manta rays do not have bones.

Their skeleton is made
up of cartilage.

Manta rays do not have
stingers for defense.

Friendly divers like to swim
with them.

Mantas jump out of the
water to play.

Maybe they wash off their
skin that way.

Mantas jump out of the water
some days.

Scientists why they behave
that way.

Manta rays have fins like wings.

Some have beautiful
spots and coloring.

Mantas have large mouths to
swallow food and long tails,

through the water they
gracefully move.

Some mantas have a
big wing span.

Helps them swim as fast
as they can.

Manta rays like to live
in warm water.

If it gets to cold they
cannot put on a sweater.

Manta rays have markings
on their skin.

These unique belly patterns
are like finger prints.

Mantas are beautiful,
so graceful.

Yup, I love the way they
glide through the wave.

Like airplanes of the
water instead of the air.

That's one
way to look at it Bella.

Speaking of the air there
are some other creatures

who don't live
underneath the waves.

There are?

Who is that bird
stealing my food?

It is a seagull,
he can be very rude.

Seagulls can be rather rude.

From people and other birds,
they often steal food.

Seagulls live all
over the world.

Even in Antarctica you
can find this bird.

Some seagulls live by the sea,

flying over water, happy and
free.

Gulls eat fish and
other birds egg stash.

They even like to
eat peoples trash.

Seagulls are sea birds,
not picky eaters.

They will eat what
anyone feeds them.

Seagulls live in big
groups called colonies.

Thousands of birds
together, that can be noisy.

Some seagulls lay their
eggs on land,

their eggs blend in
with pebbles or sand.

Some seagulls nest on
beaches or on cliffs high up.

That's where they build their
nests in the shape of cups.

Seagulls are often
gray or white.

They sleep together
in flocks at night.

Seagulls have webbed feet.

Reptiles and frogs,
they like to eat.

Some seagulls are smart
and they have learned,

if they make a sound like rain
it lures yummy earth worms.

Some seagulls have a
unique way to catch fish.

They use people tossed food
to attract a tasty dish.

Wow they sure know
how to dive.

You got that right,
they swoop and splash

like Olympic divers.

Somebody give those
birds a metal.

I don't think
a seagull would know

what to do with a
gold metal Bella.

They might try taking
a bite of it I suppose.

Ouch, talk about braking your
neck.

Still other ocean
animals spend a good bit

of their time out of
the water as well kids.

I wonder who it will be?

Harp seal where there
is lots of ice

body fat and fur keeps them warn
at night.

Baby harp seals are born on
bergs of ice.

Floating in the ocean
with their mama is nice.

All seals have blubber to keep
them warm.

Some seals can hold their
breath for several hours long.

Harp seal mamas know their pups
by smell.

Their babies have snowy white
fur as well.

Seals have whiskers,
their bodies are sleek.

Groups snuggle together when
they sleep.

Lying on rocks seals
soak up sun.

When it is hot they jump
in the water for fun.

Seals can make a lot of noise.

Pups have black eyes and
white little toe claws.

Fur seal pups are white
and very cute.

They stay together with adults
in groups.

Seals do not have ears,
sea lions do.

That is one difference between
the two.

Seals move on land, up and down.

They use their flippers
to walk around.

Females are cows,
males are bulls.

It takes a lot of fish
for a seal to be full.

Whiskers help them find
food to eat.
