In this episode of Ocean Wonders, Tom “the Blowfish” Hird dives into the fascinating world of ocean predators and precision hunters. Swimming alongside playful seals, he uncovers the hidden power of their ultra-sensitive whiskers, capable of detecting the slightest movement in the water.
From there, Tom puts his aim to the test against one of nature’s most remarkable sharpshooters—the archerfish—before revealing why the thresher shark earns its reputation as the Indiana Jones of the ocean. The adventure builds to an explosive finale as he investigates the devastating strike of the mantis shrimp, recreating its power with a 17th-century cannon.
Heavy-metal marine biologist, Tom "the Blowfish" Hird, comes face to face with incredible sea creatures and conducts mind-blowing experiments to reveal the secrets and mysteries of our oceans.
