BBC EARTH'S OCEAN GIANTS : TERRIFIC! FILM OH MY GOSH!

I borrowed this set from the library, but I want my own!  This two DVD set had the most thrilling exciting film of Whales (all kinds - Killer Whales, Blue Whales, etc) and Dolphins that I have ever seen!

We want to save the whales, that is true, but we do need to understand that they are creatures like no other and not all docile.  In this film we get to see the way Killer Whales work together to kill prey.  We learn that male dolphins swim in packs / gangs and compete for a young female's interest.  Some of what we get to watch was a first for the scientists and photographers involved too! 

This DVD just came out in 2012 so rush to get it!  Honestly!  Luckily I found a couple YouTube videos from the program for you to watch! But then - I tried - something was wrong and they would not embed. One of them is called Whale Wars - Ocean Giants - BBC ONE

TOO MANY JELLY FISH?

I've been reading that there is a JELLY FISH AROUND THE WORLD AND THAT IT'S GLOBAL!  While scientists seem to be not worried, I can't help but wonder how or if this ties in with all the changes in the earth's temperature that is melting ice packs and changing the weather.  Be the changes part of a natural cycle, the earth responding to human use of resources, or something more mysterious, I hope to learn more soon!
