Many of its victims die not from the sting but from drowning. The pain from its thing is so intense that humans may go into shock and suffer heart failure.
Fortunately, box jellies only live in Australia and in the Indopacific.

Come on guys, and subscribe. Remember to run over to my backup channel, please.
I'm trying to get you one. My backup channel and Jacob. Don't subscribe to my back.
Maybe stick around, guys.
I don't think you'll stick them over there.
right here.
>> Come back over there. You can't see from over there.
>> You want to see it? Watch what they do.
All right. So, pay attention. before I get this person back on the other side.
>> Now, I'd like to talk briefly about our It is the Maritime's largest exhibit holding 16,000 gallons of water. It was 22 as well as navigation full size kitchen for food preparation veterinary speeds and some back tanks as a bit of kitchen space for our seals.
Speaking of I would love to introduce you to the stars of our destinations here our four seals.
We have three hard skills and one grac and you working here on the end of the dock on the rocks closest towards me is Gracie that you can see in her eye. She is our oldest steel at 23 years old who was originally rescued off the coast of Maine back in 2002.
She joined us here at the maritime in 2023 [clears throat] and in her time since then had her son Sona working in the middle of the three. Son's birthday was April 5th of that same year making him just now 3 years old as of last month.
>> And then we have our newest addition to our home here. We have Ka. Ka is the one working all the way on the end of her down there. She is an 8-year-old harbor seal. You came to us from the aquarium of the Pacific out in California. And this is one of her first days out. He joined us not long.
And finally, we have our graceful Mike.
Mikey's that big guy who's been going in and out of the back the last few minutes now working on the far end of the box in the water. And Mikey, he's a great seal.
That means he is the largest one in the country despite being the youngest seal at only 2 years old. His birthday being January 17th, 2024.
>> Now, as for what you're seeing, the seals do demonstrations. Our schools do two main types of behaviors here. The first of which are positive behaviors.
And what that means is the seals participate in their own healthcare from the actions our trainers ask of them.
something as simple as just sitting still here. I got we can even ask them to open their mouth so we can do that or brush their teeth and they can present their sports like nails like someone's opening his mouth.
The other type of behaviors are enrichment behaviors. And what these are is like the spins and the jumps you may be doing or something like that. And these behaviors keep the skills mentally and throughout the day. It just changes up their dayto-day routine. Keep them thinking keeps them engaged.
Now, we do try to use some positive reinforcement here. What that means is if you listen closely, you'll hear our trainers say the word good quite often and that word serves as the bridge from the time that the seals do the action desired to when they get their reward and in the case that the does not do our training will do an LR or reinforcing second pause that allows our seals to reset and recollect their thoughts before being asked for the same behavior or something similar.
And then as for that fish feeding two main types of fish here, the large you'll see being tossed out as cut in chunks is called herring. Herring's a bit of a fattier, more oily fish that's got all the calories and nutrients our seals need in order to build up their layer as well as get their energy and then living in a saltwater environment. That means they cannot drink the water that drown them. So they get all of their hydration from the food that they eat.
And this is where counted as by volume is a good source of hydration for our seals. And you'll see that being tossed out as an entire piece of fish that's a little smaller.
>> We going to additional nutrition.
I'm not seeing somebody.
>> So they don't have much needs on the other hand. They're those ones that fill up those large colonies and so they have that experience of watching.
>> Come on guys, hit that subscribe button.
Seems good.
>> All right.
>> So, you can use water flippers.
See, I drive slowly.
But as the train does start to come to those in just another minute or so, I would like to thank you all the time.
If you enjoy that show, guys, >> remember to hit that sub.
So if you were on the far side, >> all right, guys, the show is done.
>> There's a question on the screen.
So like boyfriend because of that she's notable since other races his mother and So he's notable because she wasn't able to teach him everything that we were being >> necessarily focus on the rehab side of things that they do more so here like a home for steals that are needs where exactly in did you find races.
>> I don't know exactly where it came metal, but that being said, it was back in 2002 she was found. So, there may not even be rapid >> seals show any.
>> So, the question down here was, do the seals show any aggression? Not necessarily. They are certainly not aggressive towards like our trainers and staff here because we interact quite often. They are pretty socialized and I wouldn't want to say that seals in general are aggressive. However, I would not certainly approach one if you were to find it on the beach. Not just because of the risk you also because it is illegal. Seals are protected. Marine mammals in general are protected by the marine protection act which is a law that was passed back in 1972 and it prevents the capital from heavy mammals. And so for in our case civilian sense we need to stay at least probably 150 ft away from these animals and only people who are authorized rescue teams are able to interact with them outside.
So the question was if one of our seals is losing their sight very one of our seals is actually blind. That would be crazy. So her eyes was >> why she was blind. Did you remember I said that she was >> that?
So that is why she >> has an absolute generation or is she actually >> still essentially if you give me a moment I guess but she is pretty much already question wearing the blue shirts again. Thank you for coming down.
Oh, >> so she's pretty much full of wise. Um, yeah, there's she might be able to see light and shadow.
>> We don't know.
>> We're not sure exactly like what we know that she's blind. We don't know. Maybe she thinks light shadow. She doesn't show us that she can see that.
Everything you do with her is tactile and auditory. So >> there is blind most be any object in All right, you too.
>> Oh my god, she answered another question.
in the angle.
>> You ready?
>> Yes, we ready.
create a picture selfie. Do a selfie touch and do a selfie from a friend.

Hey, come over here.
Leopard turtto come together during mating season and uh otherwise most solitary.
Turtles spend much of their time grazing and on grasses. They also enjoy succulents for their high water content.
All right. See you later.
Very good.
What we have over here? A fox.
I don't know where the fox is.
>> Oh, there you go.
>> He's sleeping.
See the fox over there?
>> Folks are native to the Sahara Desert, which is located in North Africa. and is the largest desert in the world.
The environment is sandy with minimal grass and shrubs vegetarian.
Although they are the smallest species of fox, they have the largest ears relative to their body size, which helps them to track prey. The exact blood vessel in their ears also help them radiate body heat to and stay cool.
Their fur helps them to regulate their body temperature too. It protects their feet from hot sand, reflects the heat of the daytime sun and insulate body heat on cold desert.
That's again too much to read.
>> This is Mr. Foxy guy. He's over here sleeping.
He is sleeping.
They only come out at okay they are active at night. This is when they do most of their ro they search for rodents insect egg and sometime plants. Most of their days are spent sleeping in the pool borrows.

>> Good, right? No, it's not. Yeah, it's like >> Yes. These are the ones you make caviar.
In fact, they were always back in the 80s something called the black gold rush. So now we make sure that they are farmed. So our caviar is far also the most expensive.
There's a lot of different >> in fact this is one of our signature experiences because we are the only >> I touch this particular species can get up to 14t I'm not touching. I'm sorry.
and they're not ei00s that the indigenous people that lived here at them. And everybody the rivers were so full of these fish that the colonists in the early 1600s in town road there's so many of these you can walk on their backs from one side of the river to the other really that's6007 that's just a few years after Shakespeare I doubt that there was a bridge of sturgeon but they were not hyperbole back then when they were writ so but that said they are credited with making sure that the Jes could survive that winter. So there I have no doubt that they were plentiful in the rivers. I just you could walk like you know >> months back >> and uh they will lay millions of eggs but only about 20 of the fish will hatch and survive.
>> Wow. because they're very highly that the the little larae and the eggs and just like we love the caviar eggs those caviar eggs are also >> so they are pretty >> tried and also the um the you know when they're little baby fish too they could be >> but once they get to be this size they're they're pretty much they don't have predators they probably had predators back at the time of the dinosaurs as a cretaceous Um, I would say probably Spinosaurus was probably one of their biggest predators back then. T-Rex related fish, but Spinosaurus did >> Yes, these are the fish that make caviar. So, most of the really expensive caviar comes from beluga cav beluga sturgeon and those beluga surgeon get to be twice like really big like the size of four escalates. Like no joke, they can be giant. Um, and I think the Great Lakes Aquarium actually has that you can visit with the Great Lakes Aquarium, I think, is out by Niagara Falls. You can look it up or it might be.
>> Yeah.
>> Somewhere out there in the middle of the country.
>> I don't have no way to get there.
>> It's a prestige thing.
>> It's a prestige thing. Does it really have much nutrition or anything at all?
>> I don't think so. It's mostly the cheese. It was It did help people survive though at times, but it was mostly a fancy thing. You're correct.
And then after the black gold rush, then we entered the industrial revolution.
And so then we were building dams for hydroelectric power. And those dams unfortunately really impacted our sturgeon population because they could no longer go back to the river point where they had laid their eggs. So we are seeing them in 2017 in the river.
So we know that they are coming back and it is a success.
>> So glad you had a wonderful time.
>> Thank you so much.
Hi. Did you make a new I'm tired.
