World of Oceans

In this watery world, many creatures rely on size, speed, and strength to survive. But some have evolved another trait, perhaps the most powerful, family.

Animals depend on more than food for survival; like us, they need shelter to protect themselves and their young.

The warm, sunlit waters near the equator support one of the planet's most diverse ecosystems. Coral reefs support one-quarter of all marine species found in the oceans.

Sharks have long been the symbol of all that is fearful in our oceans. See why there's more to sharks than meets the eye.

All creatures, great and small, are driven by a single goal: To pass on their genes and give their young the best chance for success.

For thousands of years, the mysteries of the ocean and its hidden creatures have inspired countless myths and legends.
