The award-winning Nature series is the longest-running weekly natural history series on television. Program 1: Encountering Sea Monsters – Enter the gloomy green ocean depths with deep-sea cameraman Bob Cranston to discover fantastic worlds and the beautiful but deadly creatures that inhabit them. Nothing in science fiction can prepare you for a creature with a beak like a parrot, no bones in its body, three hearts, blue blood, skin that can change colors, and arms growing out of its lips! Cranston enlists the help of scientists and experts to enter the world of squid and octopus, where cannibalism is practiced daily, mating can involve amputation, trickery is everywhere, and size means everything and nothing. Tim Matheson (Animal House) narrates this tense and thrilling program. Program 2: Oceans of Glass: Behind the Scenes of the Monterey Bay Aquarium – How does an aquarium work? What is the science behind the magic? Monterey Bay Aquarium is recognized as one of the most significant and spectacular aquariums in the world. Its pioneering displays of realistic undersea environments entertain and educate two million annual visitors. Emmy-winning actor Peter Coyote (E.T.) narrates this intriguing program that offers a rare glimpse at the complex operations required to create and maintain the magical exhibits of more than 35,000 animals and plants, and chronicles how the aquarium successfully exhibited a great white shark for a record-breaking 198 days.
