00:00So a lot of marine animals are covered in mucus.
00:09Mucus is a lot like snot, like we have in our noses.
00:14Mucus might seem gross, but can actually be really, really gross.
00:17No, no, no.
00:18It doesn't seem gross.
00:19It is gross.
00:20It is gross.
00:21Hi.
00:22My name is Lucas.
00:23This is Elmo.
00:24Hi.
00:25My name is Sarah.
00:27What's your name?
00:28Aviana.
00:29We're going to learn a lot from Miss Sarah, right?
00:30That's right.
00:31Maybe we should guess what Miss Sarah does for a job.
00:32I think she's a zookeeper.
00:33You think I'm a zookeeper.
00:34What about my outfit is giving zookeeper to you?
00:35It's giving the brown.
00:36The brown.
00:37And like the zoo.
00:38Do you do biology?
00:39I do biology.
00:40Yes.
00:41Wait, in the water?
00:42Yes.
00:43Marine biologist.
00:44Really?
00:45Yes, that's what I do.
00:46Really?
00:47That was a good one.
00:48What's your name?
00:49Aviana.
00:50What's your name?
00:51Aviana.
00:52What's your name?
00:53Aviana.
00:54What's your name?
00:55Aviana.
00:56Really?
00:57That was a great job.
00:58Good guessing.
00:59So what does a marine biologist do?
01:00I know.
01:01I know.
01:02They study the plants and animals in the water.
01:04That's exactly what I do.
01:05I study all of the animals that live in the ocean.
01:07So I brought some stuff that I was hoping to show you all.
01:10Really?
01:11But in order to see this stuff, you got to get suited up like a marine biologist.
01:14All right.
01:15Okay.
01:16Let's do it.
01:17One, two, three.
01:18Ta-da.
01:19Wearing our costumes now.
01:20Elmo dressed like a scuba diver.
01:22You look like a great tropical reef biologist.
01:23Oh, thank you.
01:26You're looking good.
01:30We are looking ready to do some marine biology.
01:32Do you feel ready to see some animals?
01:35Yes.
01:36Let's look at some critters.
01:37All right.
01:38Are those alive?
01:39These are alive.
01:40What?
01:41They're alive?
01:42Maybe you should get that one to happily.
01:46Sorry.
01:47These are called spider traps.
01:49Don't worry.
01:50It's not going to hurt you.
01:51I took its little claws and rubber banded them together.
01:54You want to hold out your hand like this.
01:56These are pretty pointy, but they're not going to hurt you.
01:57They just kind of feel like freshly sharpened pencils.
02:01Do you want to pet them?
02:03Pet them?
02:04You can.
02:05They're a little bit furry, a little fuzzy.
02:06Ooh, they are.
02:08Elmo has a question about where they live,
02:10because if they live underwater,
02:12isn't it hard for them to not be in water?
02:14So some animals can go in between being underwater
02:17and out of the water.
02:18Oh, kind of like a frog?
02:20Like a frog, totally.
02:21Let me count the legs.
02:23One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
02:27Ooh, it is, what do I call it with 10 legs?
02:31What do they call it?
02:32Wait, it's called a decafish?
02:35A decapod, a decapod, yeah.
02:37Would you like to see another creature?
02:38Yeah, let's do some more questions.
02:39All right, would you like to say goodbye, Mr. Spider Crab?
02:42Goodbye, Mr. Spider Crab.
02:43Check you later, dude.
02:45Here we have the jaw of a great shark.
02:51Whoa.
02:52Yeah, this is a tiger shark's jaw.
02:55So tiger sharks are one of the biggest types of sharks.
02:58Wait, how many teeth do it have?
03:00But it has rows of teeth,
03:01because when you're a shark,
03:03you gotta bite really hard, right?
03:05Yeah.
03:05So there are rows and rows of teeth,
03:07so if they lose one, it's okay.
03:09They grow a new one.
03:10I hate to break it to you, Elmo,
03:11I think this shark might be able to eat you whole.
03:14Oh, this is terrifying.
03:15Whoa, Elmo's okay.
03:18Should we be scared?
03:20I don't think so.
03:21Most of the time, if you're swimming with one,
03:23they're not gonna hurt you.
03:24They're just gonna hang out.
03:26Have you ever touched a shark?
03:28I have touched sharks.
03:29They feel kind of rough.
03:30They feel like sandpaper.
03:32Well, that's interesting,
03:33because they kind of look like they would be smooth.
03:35They look smooth, but they actually,
03:36if you look at a shark's skin,
03:38there are many teeny, tiny little teeth on the skin
03:41called denticles.
03:43Denticles.
03:44It helps them glide through the water.
03:46Ah, cool.
03:47All right, we've got a type of sea snail called a whelk.
03:54You can sort of feel its surface.
03:57It feels kind of weird.
03:58And then the underside is where the animal lives,
04:01right there.
04:02Oh, look at that.
04:03Hi, there, snail.
04:04Hello. Hi, snail.
04:04So a lot of marine animals are covered in mucus.
04:08Mucus is a lot like snot, like we have in our noses.
04:12Yeah.
04:13Mucus might seem gross, but can actually be really, really-
04:16No, no, no.
04:16It doesn't seem gross.
04:18It is gross. It is gross.
04:19Okay, so fine.
04:22Sometimes- All the time.
04:24Sometimes animals are covered in mucus
04:27to help protect themselves from all sorts of stuff.
04:29And snails, definitely slimy.
04:32Elmo doesn't know what to say to that.
04:33That's a lot to take in.
04:34That's a lot to take in.
04:36Whoa.
04:38This is called the giant Australian trumpet.
04:41And they are one of the biggest snails in the whole world.
04:44The animal lives in that hole.
04:46It's not in there right now.
04:47It was in there years and years ago.
04:49That's really big.
04:51Wait, if you put it this way, it's bigger than my head.
04:54It's way bigger than your head.
04:57Here we have-
04:58A horseshoe crab.
04:59A horseshoe crab.
05:00That's a horseshoe crab?
05:01That's what it is.
05:02Yeah.
05:03It kind of looks like a rock.
05:04It is doing a great rock impression right now.
05:06Question. Yes.
05:07Elmo sees a very large stinger.
05:09Oh, this is the tail.
05:11It looks like a stinger.
05:12Oh, it's not a stinger.
05:13But it's not a stinger.
05:14Oh, thank goodness.
05:16Can it walk?
05:17It can walk.
05:18So you can see these kind of look like
05:19they have little brooms on the end.
05:21That helps them move in sand.
05:23Because it's kind of hard to move in sand
05:25when you've got really pointy legs.
05:26And so these kind of push their legs all out like this.
05:30And that helps them push themselves along the sand.
05:32That is crazy.
05:33It's pretty wild.
05:35Can it talk?
05:37It can't really talk the same way that we talk.
05:39So these animals don't really make noise at all.
05:41So if they can't talk to each other,
05:43how does it communicate?
05:45So different animals in the ocean
05:46communicate all different kinds of ways.
05:48Some of them, like dolphins and whales,
05:50they use sound just like we're communicating with right now.
05:53Oh, Elmo knows about dolphins.
05:54Yeah.
05:55Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
05:57That is a perfect dolphin impression.
05:59Hey, do you want to try it together?
06:01Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
06:04That's great.
06:05All right.
06:06Would you like to say goodbye to the horseshoe crab?
06:07Bye, horseshoe crab.
06:09Goodbye.
06:10How do we protect our oceans?
06:12One of the biggest things we can do
06:13is just try to use less.
06:15So if you have a T-shirt, wear that T-shirt
06:18until you can't anymore.
06:20Don't get rid of it quickly.
06:21If you can share things with other people,
06:24like by taking the bus instead of driving a car,
06:26that's a great way to help the ocean.
06:28And try to prevent bad things from getting into the ocean.
06:31Maybe do a neighborhood cleanup or do a beach cleanup
06:34to prevent plastic from getting into the ocean.
06:36And don't throw anything into the ocean, right?
06:38And definitely don't throw anything into the ocean.
06:41Yeah, because sometimes Elmo sees litter
06:42and plastic in the ocean, and it's not good.
06:44It's not good for the ocean to have plastic in there.
06:47They would not want that.
06:48They would not, no.
06:49Well, thank you so much for showing us
06:51all these really cool things.
06:52Anytime, Elmo.
06:53Now, do we ever want to clean this table off
06:55with all the mucus here, or?
06:57We'll do some mucus management.
07:00Yes.
