The Most Relaxing Facts About Ocean Life to Fall Asleep To

In this calm and sleepy facts episode, we drift beneath the surface of the ocean to explore the extraordinary world of life in the sea. From microscopic plankton that produce more than half the oxygen on Earth to blue whales whose hearts beat just twice per minute during a dive, we journey through sunlit coral reefs where fish sleep in cocoons of mucus, swaying kelp forests where sea otters wrap themselves in fronds to keep from drifting away, and the silent darkness of the deep sea where creatures glow with their own bioluminescent light. Along the way, we meet jellyfish that have been pulsing through the water for over 500 million years, octopuses with three hearts and blue blood, sea turtles that navigate thousands of miles using the Earth’s magnetic field, and the strange and patient animals that live near hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, surviving without any sunlight at all. Let these 500 quiet facts about ocean life carry you gently to sleep.
