I saw this movie on the national Geographic channel about a year and a half ago. Then they made this movie into a recurrent series. It is so creepy sometimes to see what could happen after people. They are talking about what effects water would have on the planet without people to control the damage.

Specifically in aquariums…like after Hurricane Katrina an aquarium in New Orleans was left w/o power for four days. Doesn’t sound like much,right? But no power means no clean water, no oxygen in the water for fishes, and no current for those that depend on it for their constant motion (jellyfish, sharks, bony fishes). So the jellyfish are unable to keep themselves moving and they disintegrate. The sharks can’t have oxygen and electric field, so they either choke on their waste or die of asphyxiation. And the bony fishes…most have suffocated. All within four days time!

The exceptions…One bony fish called a tarpin. I guess it can breech the surface and gulp air. The penguins, otters, a white skinned & blue eyed alligator (very pretty baby)and last but not least…THE TURTLES!!! Yes my friends, the turtles would live without us! Not indefinitely of course, but they are hardier than those damn bony fishes! In your face water breathers! Just kidding…sort of.

I just think this is an amazing amount of destruction for four days! Hard to believe.
