Coral Jungle

# 1	Sea Snakes	There are probably more of sea snakes than any other kind of snakes. The bite is ten times more venomous than that of a cobra. The obvious rule how to behave when we encounter one is: "Very politely!" It is possible to co–exist with them in the underwater world.
# 2	Plight of the Pelicans	In their element, born aloft by the currants of the sky, they are the most graceful of creatures. Toddling about on the ground they are comic in appearance yet trying against all odds to maintain their dignity. They are the pelicans.
# 3	Night Prowlers of the Reef	For day or night the life of the Reef remains essentially unchanged. A grim struggle for survival that is governed by instincts as changeless, as timeless, as the sea itself.
# 4	Search for Sunken Ships	We know the Coral Jungle, the waters around the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, as one of the great and largely unspoiled wonders of nature. Exploring the wreckages lying in the Great Barrier Reef is linking us to the human history of the sea. The treasure buried at the bottom of our seas does not consist of precious jewels. What lies beneath the surface is literally priceless. There are parts of our past down there, waiting to be salvaged. Remnants of our history that tell us something about who passed this way before us and therefore how we happen to be where we are and what we are today.
# 5	Wreck Reef	We tend to think of the sea as something to enjoy... But for the men and women who must wrest their livelihood from the water there is no choice. They must chance the sea even when it is enraged. Testing their skills and knowledge against its prime power. We are about to encounter the new testaments to those who for their ignorance or carelessness lost their encounters with that part of the ocean we call the "Coral Jungle".
# 6	Sharks: the Terror...	Here, in the Great Barrier Reef we are at the heart of shark country – one of nature's most fascinating works. It is time at last to banish him from the round of nightmare and to confront him as he really is: A creature more complex and more frightful than we imagine him to be.
# 7	Incredible Dolphin	Except for the dolphins and the whales they aren’t know by us for their intelligence. Yet the ways we measure a man's intelligence is by his ability to adapt himself to circumstances. To find a place for himself in a world he never made. If you start thinking about the species who have managed to survived in the ocean about several millennia, they are very smart indeed. For the past 5 years Eva Cropp is conducting an experiment on her own. She is trying to demonstrate how quickly the fish of the Great Barrier Reef can learn when they are properly encouraged. Some have revealed real characters to her: Some bold, some sly, some tricksters... The size of an octopus' brain is very large in comparison to his body. This is a sure sign of intelligence. In contrast the shark's brain is very small compared to its overall size. The brainiest of course are the dolphins.
# 8	Coral Labyrinth	On the surface dots of coral look isolated and not attached. Under water it riffles with sea life. The giant maze is called "The Coral's Labyrinth". Man is no longer a stranger under water. He has learned from it and respects it.
# 9	Hungry Sea	As a human being you stand on top of the food chain... beneath the surface of these waters lies what must be the most beautiful battleground in the world, a place where the creatures of the Great Barrier Reef year in year out engage in a desperate struggle for survival. Then, too, we must admire the fact that among the creatures of the sea none entertains dreams of some final victory for his kind, nor need any fear some final defeat by their enemies. Only man threatens these creatures with extinction.
# 10	Amelia Earheart
# 11	Mysteries of the Reef	All fish eat fish. It is only natural, after all we are only aliens in the under water world. And of course there are dangerous and legitimately scary characters down there, characters whose bad reputations are entirely deserved...
# 12	Lost World of the Mangrove Swamp	This is no wasteland. In its natural state it is quite simply priceless. It is in a sense the breeding ground for almost all the fish along the coast, called "the Nursery of the Sea". This "wasteland" teams with life.
# 13	Islands of Tragedy	To the barren islands the birds and turtles come to nest. Requiring much less than humans do, they struggle to survive on the unsheltered land. The surviving of so many hatchlings which make it to the open sea serves as a miracle to us.
