Discover some of the rarest and most threatened ocean creatures on Earth, from the tiny Knysna seahorse to the immense blue whale. Find out where they are found, what they eat, their life cycle and the reasons why their survival is at risk. Most importantly, learn how conservation efforts are aiming to reverse their extinction.
