    Travelling Trivia Ep 6 - Octonauts

    Hi there, and welcome to today's episode of our podcast. Today we are going to dive deep into the world of Octonauts. Do you know who the Octonauts are? They are a group of marine explorers who go on exciting underwater adventures to save the ocean's creatures. Let's dive in! The Octonauts' team is made up of eight creatures, each with their own unique skillset. There's Captain Barnacles, a polar bear who leads the team. Kwazii, a cat who loves to explore, Peso, a penguin who is a medic, Shellington, a sea otter who is an expert in marine biology, and Tweak, an otter who is an engineer. They also have Dashi, a dog who is a photographer, Professor Inkling, an octopus who is the team's scientist, and Tunip, a vegimal, who helps the team out in the kitchen. The Octonauts have been on many exciting missions. They've saved baby sea turtles, helped a lost sperm whale find its family, and even discovered a new species of jellyfish! They also have a lot of cool gadgets to help them with their missions, like the GUP-A, which is a big submarine that can travel to the deepest parts of the ocean. One of their most exciting adventures was when they visited the Midnight Zone, which is the deepest part of the ocean. The pressure there is so intense that most creatures can't survive, but the Octonauts went there to find a lost octopus. They had to use their special suits to protect them from the intense pressure and find the octopus before it was too late! Did you know that the Octonauts are not only fun to watch, but they can also teach us about marine biology and ocean conservation? They teach us about different sea creatures, their habitats, and how we can help protect the ocean and the creatures that live there. In fact, one of their missions was to help clean up the ocean after a big storm. They found a lot of rubbish in the ocean, which is dangerous for sea creatures, and they worked together to clean it all up. We can all help protect the ocean by reducing our use of single-use plastics - or plastic that only gets used one time - and making sure we dispose of our rubbish properly. Can you think of something made out of plastic, that only gets used once? Now, can you think of how you might use it another time, maybe for a different job? I am thinking of a plastic water bottle. It could be filled up with gum nuts or rocks, and made into a shaker! Or you could make a science experiment by turning it into a rocket ship! You could even decorate it and use it as a bowling pin! The Octonauts have discovered and studied many fascinating creatures in their adventures. One interesting species of plant they found, was Giant Kelp: This type of seaweed can grow up to 60 meters tall and provides an important habitat for many creatures in the ocean. The Octonauts discover a Colossal Squid: This is the hugest squid species we know of, with some colossal squids measuring up to 14 meters in length! The Octonauts have encountered this enormous creature a number of times! Another interesting creature is the Vampire Squid: Despite its spooky name, this deep-sea creature is actually quite small and harmless to humans. It has red eyes and webbed arms. The Octonauts make friends with some Coconut Crabs: These crustaceans live on the land, and are known for their impressive strength, which allows them to climb trees and crack open coconuts! They can do this with their powerful and sharp claws. Another cool deep sea creature the Octonauts find is the Electric Torpedo Ray: This ray has special organs in its body that can produce an electric shock strong enough to stun prey and scare away predators. The Octonauts have studied this creature to learn more about its unique adap Support the showhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2150582/support Support our podcast here!
