- Summary:
- Steve Backsall examines what is by far the largest ecosystem on our planet - the deep sea. From jellyfish with 40 meter long tentacles, fish with headlights and terrifying looking 'vampire squid' it contains some of the most extraordinary and bizarre life forms on the planet. There is even life on the deep sea bed, where armies of sea urchins, giant woodlouse and deep sea crabs feed from a thick layer of sediment. The most surprising discovery Steve makes is the existence of large communities of animals around volcanic vents. The Deep Sea is apart of the intriguing BBC natural world series Natures's Microworlds which looks at some of the most extraordinary ecosystems on the planet.
