When we ascended to the surface, the three of them bursted out laughing at me. I was so embarrassed. 😭 Later on I learned that their aggressive territory is shaped like a cone with the tip at the nest, as long as you're swimming outside the cone shape, they won't attack you.

I dived a reef in Egypt in 1990 when I was 20 years old, I'd always loved watching documentaries but when I experienced it for real I fell in love. I've dived all over the world but returned to that reef in 2010 to experience it all over again. When I went we swam out to the reef and dived, now there were three large dive boats with their twin diesel engines running the entire time I was there. When I went under to the reef I actually found tears running down my face under my mask. The reef was 90% dead compared to when I last saw it. The other divers were raving as they had never seen the Red Sea how it was and thought it was teaming. When I went the first time I could barely see the reef for all the colourful fish so 10% seemed a lot to other divers but ut broke my heart completely.

@@slvshy666 - I share your feelings and it is easy to become despondent when looking at man's disregard for nature and inhumanity to each other. However, there are also many fighting back and even countries are now waking up to the consequences of our treatment of the environment. If you can swim it is worth facing your fear of the ocean. There are places where you can snorkel in calm blue waters close to the beach. My ex could not even swim and I took her on an experience where you wear modern versions of old diving helmets. So you can stand under the water breathing in the glass helmet and see everything around you and feed tropical fish. We did that in the Philippines. You are not very deep so even if you panicked you can get to the surface easily. Another ex could swim and I convinced her to take a two-day dive course so we could dive together in Key West. She loved it and you are always well looked after and safe. Visiting a reef is like visiting another world. An entire different ecosystem. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

@TheBirdandWilderShow 2 года назад

I'm agree with you

@kiddfaith4397 2 года назад

@Tech Priestess Micaela For sure; and those changes towards balance can effect the land itself. Take a look at what happened after the wolves in the Yellowstone area were killed off by humans. The ungulate population (deer and elk) exploded and changed their behaviour patterns, feeding in one area until there was nothing left to eat, instead of staying on the move because of a primary predator (coyotes weren’t much of a threat). The gradual destruction of trees and brush drove away most of the bird and small animal population, and increased erosion so much that water routes like rivers and streams changed course. This led to entire areas becoming barren. Nature changed and adapted extremely dramatically until wolves were reintroduced, and once they were, the swift and restorative change back to what the overall plant, land and animal diversity once was, was just a dramatic. It’s a perfect example of a trophic cascade involving the food chain.

@@eisenklad You are highly unlikely to lose a finger. Although their bite does contain a poison so it should be treated. You just keep your eye on them and maintain a horizontal distance from their territory. It's really not that big of a deal. What's interesting is that their territory is an inverted cone from their nesting ground (where they are aggressive) to the surface. Most divers make the mistake of trying to escape vertically to the surface (which is still in their territory), when really you just move a few metres horizontally and you're fine.

Saw a lot of them in the red sea. Everyday I would see maybe from 3-5 titan triggerfish sometimes even more. I filmed them when they were pretty close to the camera and never got attacked by one but they can be territorial for sure. I remember first time visiting Egypt and there was one spot and there was a huge one. Me and my mom were snorkeling and my dad was just swimming and he got to his territory and he attacked. He told us after we came out of the water and at that time we didn't know what could it be and then I remembered that there is the big triggerfish so I looked it up and found out that it's a real thing that they attack humans. Nothing happened to my dad but he said that when he bumped into his leg he thought that his knee is going to get dislocated. Rather watch out for these guys. When they bump into you full speed it's not going to be very nice. They definitely aren't the smallest in the ocean they get up to like 75 cm and I'd say that the one that was on the spot was maybe 65-70 cm so it wasn't a small one.

Nature is amazing

Nature is not an entity with a will and creative force. The Creator is.

@raphaelnej8387 2 года назад

you are wrong in my religion, Nature is God, it created the universe and let it develop on it s own. I hear people say that Nature is cruel. But it gave us consciousness. That’s enough to be infinitely grateful.

that’s a myth sadly. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_of_nature

@raphaelnej8387 2 года назад

Wikipedia is indeed the sharpest fact checker : « The balance of nature, as a theory, has been largely discredited by scientists working in ecology, as it has been found that constant disturbances leading to chaotic and dynamic changes are the norm in nature.[5] During the later half of the 20th century, it was superseded by catastrophe theory and chaos theory.[6] Nevertheless, the idea maintains popularity amongst the general public. » Thanks for sharing

here the ecosystem has been profoundly changed by human pollution. It increased the amount of starfish and thus of triggerfish. And it will probably lead to more unpredictable serious changes in the ecosystem. Life is resilient tho.

Information and visuals like this tickle my brain. In a good way ❤

That fish really went up to that starfish and gave it the GTA "You picked the wrong house fool" treatment.

@alwaysright6358 2 года назад

Those trigger fish have a unique method of propulsion. They don't even need to use their pectoral fin or wiggle their bodies to move through water.

We need more of them put on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and everywhere else that reefs are being killed.

@tylervanpeursem7627 Месяц назад

While that is good intention, they'd likely become an invasive species and do more harm than good

@mr.nihilist1069 2 года назад

awesome fish, but such jerks when they are nesting... been diving for 20 years and they are among the very few creatures i actively avoid.

@buenvidanadz1969 2 года назад

Glorious shots

@tjmmcd1 Год назад

The narrator doesn't seem to notice this. However, @2:00 and onward, we see the triggerfish KILLING the coral-eating, 'crown of thorns' strarfish. We see the triggerfish actually SPITTING-OUT mouthfuls of the starfish; NOT EATING IT, but killing it! Somehow, the triggerfish KNOWS that this starfish is eating its habitat. Amazing how nature works to keep a balanced ecosystem.

@steyrauggun 2 года назад

On the behalf of Thai people, I apologize for the mention of pollution our country did to the nature. I just wish people do care more about nature before it’s out of balance and too late to bring it back :(

The sepia tone coral reef hurts my heart. How sad what we've done to this planet.

@JordiRFernandez 2 года назад

That is their natural color. They fluoresce only under UV, which there is little of at any depth.

@multipletanksyndrome 2 года назад

@@JordiRFernandez Just look at any underwater documentary from the 90s, and you'll see a noticable difference. I'm an aquarium keeper. I know what corals look like under UV. That's not what I'm talking about. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wbNeIn3vVKM.html

Bencede çok üzücü.insanların yapmış oldukları zulümlere bu dünya nasıl dayanıyor.çıkarları için yapmıyacakları kötülük yok.Kuranda Rabbimiz hep haber veriyor.onlar kendilerini ilah edinmişlerdir,dünyada hep fesat çıkarırlar diyor.Aslında insanlar Kur'an'ı hayat düsturu edinseler Dünya yaşanılır bir yer olurdu.İslam güzeldir.huzurdur.dünyadaki yanlış İslam algısınıda bu kötü niyetli insanlar çıkarmadımı?

Incredible underwater world ! 💙 ....some fish can fly (Exocoetidae, they can glide in the air just above the water) and Trigger fish are amazing cleaners with powerful teeth, and can bite horrible painful a snorkeling human, when entering the breeding ground.... 😁 Thanks, great BBC Earth 🙏
