纪录片介绍: Ocean Giants Ground-breaking documentary granting a unique and
privileged access into the magical world of whales and dolphins, uncovering
the secrets of their intimate lives as never before. Doug Allan has been
swimming with marine mammals for over 35 years. He spent seven years in
Antarctica as a research diver, scientist and photographer for the British
Antarctic Survey, before changing direction to full time filming in 1985. In
1986, Jacques Cousteau invited Didier Noirot to join the diving team of the
Calypso on their first expedition to New Zealand. Didier worked as a stills
photographer for the first two years and then became Cousteau’s Director of
underwater cinematography on more than 20 documentaries.Narrated by Stephen

Professor Denise Herzing believes she is very close to an answer, theorising

versatile and inventive brains to survive in a marine desert. In Alaska,
humpback whales gather into alliances in which individuals pool their
specialised talents to increase their hunting success. We discover how young
spotted dolphins learn their individual names and the social etiquette of
their pod, and how being curious about new objects leads Caribbean bottlenose
dolphins to self-awareness and even to self-obsession. Finally, the film shows
a remarkable group of Mexican grey whales, who seem able to empathize with
humans and may even, have a concept of 纪录片下载:
