Did you get the DVD's yet? smile.gif

[Mak]

Not yet, I've only been working P/T the last few months :( .

Damn, I accidenlty put my last part of Blue Planet in with the empty VHS tapes :mad: :mad: :mad:

Have you had a chance to see all 8 yet Delph ?

Can somebody say " How much for the Sea Dragon? and Is it Reef safe? " LOL, I wish :D

[Delphinus]

I haven't yet caught all 8, although I did break down and buy all the DVD's. (Ah, the magic of credit cards ... :D )

Leafy Sea Dragons ... they are incredible creatures.

If you're ever down in L.A., the most incredible aquarium I have ever set foot in is the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific. (Some people go to California just to go to Disneyland, I planned a vacation just to go to the aquarium when I heard they were opening a Leafy Sea Dragon exhibit.) This whole place .... it is absolutely worth the airfare. I beleive they were the first anywhere to open a Leafy Sea Dragon exhibit, although now there are others who have this, Monterrey Bay, etc.

Fabulous creatures. I stared and stared at that tank for hours.

Discovery Canada is Shaw channel 35 in Calgary...

Shame on you, EmilyB, for not watching this channel. http://jabot2000.homestead.com/files/emoticons/nono.gif Many many ocean documentaries you are missing ... :D

(Pop quiz to Discovery watchers: How many species of shark live in Canadian waters???)

BTW EmilyB I have the Blue Planet episodes on DVD if you ever want to borrow them.

cheers

19 Shark species can be found in Canadian waters, 5 visit on occasion, while the remaining 14 can be seen most of the time.
