Octonauts - The Urchin Invasion | Cartoons for Kids | Underwater Sea Education

captain the kelp forest is right up ahead thanks dashie now let's hurry shellington has someone special he wants us to meet ah can't you just tell us who it is no it's a surprise oh is it someone you've known for a long time actually i've never met him before is it some kind of slimy kelp monster no hmm is it a bunch of kelp heading straight for us [Music] yeah the water's full of kelp and it's all coming from the kelp forest something's not right we'd better take a look kelp strands are connected to the seafloor by these special roots if these roots come loose the kelp will float away if too much kelp floats away there'll be no more kelp forest and all these creatures will have nowhere to live but what's causing all the kelp to come loose in the first place avast look mateys i was afraid of this red urchins red urchins destroy kelp roots they can wipe out an entire kelp forest unless there are sea otters oh around to eat them pearl hello shellington everybody this is my sister pearl the sea otter oh hi yeah hi hello pearl is a scientist just like me she knows practically everything about kelp forests and kelp plants actually kelp isn't a plant at all it's a type of algae see so this is who you wanted us to meet not exactly but i'm sure pearl can tell us what's wrong with a kelp forest ah yes i'm afraid i've fallen a bit behind on my urchin duties urchin duties yes we see otters are what's known as a keystone species the whole cake forest depends on us to eat the red urchins so they don't destroy it it's our duty as sea otters but i've never seen you eat an urchin uh well actually as it turns out i'm allergic to urchins shellington helps the kelp forest in a different way as an octonaut usually i can keep the urchin under control all by myself but lately i've been kind of busy with well let me show you [Music] he's right over here i wrapped him up him kelp so he wouldn't drift away everybody this is periwinkle this is who i wanted you all to meet my new nephew [Music] but he's still just a baby so i spend most of my time feeding him cleaning him i'm teaching him how to find food once per is a little older he'll be able to dive down to eat reductions too as a matter of fact it's just about time for perry's first diving lesson oh but i still have to catch up on my urchin duties pearl why don't you and shellington give perry his diving lesson and let us clear the urchins out of the kelp forest oh that would be wonderful octonauts let's do this we eat red urchins like this now you try oh no sweetie that's a rock barnacles to shellington how's the diving lesson going well perry's found three red rocks two red shells one grumpy red crab but no red urchins how about you it took a while but we managed to clear the red urchins out of the kelp forest oh well that should keep them under control at least until it gets dark captain red urchins are most active at night they might try to come back when the sun goes down in that case we'd better stay the night we'll take turns looking out for urchins [Music] now you're sure you'll be okay up there shellington of course captain nothing like sleeping out under the stars sea otter style ah we're holding hands and holding on to kelp so we don't float away still no sign of any urchins hello hey can't the guy have dinner in peace oh excuse me i thought you were oh no that's the strand of kelp shellington's holding onto gellington come in shellington your kelp strand is loose oh i'm i just want to sleep just a few minutes more mom [Music] flappity flippers [Music] [Music] a [Music] the urchins are heading for the kelp forest and we've got to stop them everyone let's oh hang on where's shellington captain the urchins they destroyed the roots of the kelp he was holding on to captain look shellington pearl and perry are drifting out to sea dashie quasi you take the gup a to rescue shellington chew dip tweak we'll help peso with the urchins there's no time to lose everyone into positions quasi-dashie any sign of shellington and pearl we're approaching them now captain hurry dashy we need all the help we can get fast there they are if matey get too close we'll crash into them maybe you can feel them in already jumping jellyfish chillington the cow grab the cow hold on tight ladies [Music] it's no use cab the urchins are already getting through this looks like a job for a keystone species shellington the urchins will keep coming back to the kelp forest unless we move them somewhere with plenty of food that rocky reef there's plenty of algae for them to eat there but what about the urchins that are already in the kelp forest pearl i hope you're hungry reporting for urchin duty all right octonauts start moving urchins to the rocky reef it's working the urchins like it here keep it up afterwards thanks tweak good work everyone the red urchins are gone and the kelp forest is safe oh thanks octonauts i don't know what i would have done without all your help oops
