00:02:12 CARREY: The islands of
Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.
00:02:16
00:02:32 Here, volcanic gases
form undersea fountains...
00:02:36
00:02:41 and the sea erupts
with kaleidoscopic life.
00:02:46
00:03:32 The reefs surrounding these Pacific Islands
form the heart of the Coral Triangle.
00:03:38
00:03:41 More marine species live here
than anywhere else on Earth.
00:03:46
00:04:22 So many species live here
that they can all survive...
00:04:26
00:04:26 only if each is distinctly different
from the other.
00:04:30
00:04:35 This puppy-like creature
is actually an epaulette shark...
00:04:39
00:04:39 who lives only in the Coral Triangle.
00:04:42
00:04:44 He's not much of a swimmer,
so he prefers to crawl.
00:04:48
00:04:57 The Wobbegong Shark
looks like a shag carpet...
00:05:01
00:05:02 until he moves.
00:05:05
00:05:09 Disguised hunters need
almost endless patience.
00:05:14
00:05:15 Dinner must come to them.
00:05:16
00:05:21 A giant frogfish is hoping
the school of glassy sweepers...
00:05:25
00:05:25 mistakes it for a yellow sponge.
00:05:28
00:05:32 The crocodile fish blends
into the reef perfectly.
00:05:37
00:05:51 This time,
the Blue Damselfish was lucky.
00:05:55
00:05:56 But out of the frying pan
and into the fire.
00:06:01
00:06:05 Giant frogfish come in all colors.
00:06:09
00:06:10 Trying to hide under one
could be a really bad idea.
00:06:15
00:06:30 The stonefish is about as graceless
as a fish can be.
00:06:35
00:06:42 It has little to fear from predators.
