- Ooh.

- Whoa!

Whoa-ho-ho!

[upbeat music]

[together]Whoa-oh-oh-oh! Whoa!

- I love exploring spooky cavesat night!

- That cave was one of thespookiest I've ever been in.

I kept thinking,"Who's that? Who's there?"

But--but itwas just you guys.

- If you think that cave isspooky,

it's nothing compared to...oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I can't even talk about it.

It's just too darkand spooky and yucky.

- [gasps]- Come on, Ripple.

Whose cave is it?

- Oh, well, the cave I'm talkingabout is the home of

the hagfish!

[all gasp]

- I changed my mind.

That's really bad.

- Yeah, I've heard about thehagfish.

She lives way down in the deep.

- Yeah.Heard about her?

Ha, growing up inReeftown,

everyone talked aboutthe spooky hagfish laugh.

Moo-hoo-ha-ahaa.

And how it could be heard formiles and miles.

- Or the slime monster thatattacks anyone

who gets near the cave.

- Or how about the fact that sheeats the fish

and other creatures thatsink to the deep.

- What does this hagfish looklike anyway?

- Well, uh, I've never actuallyseen her, but...

- Come to think of it, I don'tknow anyone who's ever actually

seen the hagfish,do you?

- Probably because if they didsee her,

they never came back.

- But so many creatures from allover have told these stories.

Surely by now someone has goneto the hagfish cave

to check them out,right?

- I don't know.

You would have to bevery, very brave to go there.

- Exactly.Let's do it.

- Whoo!- Come on, you guys.

It'll be fun.- Come on. Let's go.

[upbeat music]

♪ ♪

- I bet the hagfish's cave isaround here somewhere.

- Yeah, and being in the deepdoesn't help.

I can't see anything.

- Well, we'll know we're closewhen we hear her spooky laugh.

- [cackles]

[together]Ahh! Whoa.

- Sorry.

- Yeah, her spooky laugh like,uh, that.

- All right,let's check it out.

- Yeah, come on, let's do it.Come on, you guys.

- [cackling]

- Oh, it's the hagfish.

I just know it.

- Wait a minute.

Hagfish don't havebioluminescent lights.

Lu,is that you, hmm?

- Oh, hey there, kids.

What brings youdown to the deep today?

[together]Lu.

- We heard this really loud,spooky laugh

and we thought it was thehagfish.

- Hagfish?

Oh, no sirree.

That was justyours truly laughing up a storm.

I'm sorry I spooked you kids,but Bob here

was just tickling my funnybone.

- That's right, kids.

It's a laugh aminute with old Bob here.

- Boy am I glad we found you,Lu.

You know everything there is toknow about the deep,

- Well--- So what can you tell us

about the hagfish?

- You know, we never actuallymet that old hagfish.

- She lives right around here,

but she pretty much keeps toherself.

I tell you this though,

nothing I find in the big, darkdeep surprises me anymore.

- Okay, this is where Lu saidthe hagfish's cave would be.

- So who's gonna go up and sayhello?

- Not it.- Not it.

- [sighs]Okay, I'll do it.

Heh, how spooky could it be?

- [cackling]

all: Whoa!

- You okay, Splash?

- Uh, uh, of course.

I'm just shiveringbecause, uh, you know,

it's, uh, a little bit colderdown here in the d-d-d-d...

- Deep.- Deep.

- I'll do it.

It's time we find outonce and for all

if the legends are true.

Uh...hello?

Huh?

- Who's there?

- Oh!- Whoa!

It's the slime monster.

- Bubbles, are you okay?

- Ahh, I'm pretty great.

This isn't monster slime.

It's just regular old slime.

- Hmm...you're still here,even after getting slimed?

- Yeah.Slime doesn't bother me.

In fact, I really like it.

- You do?

- Mm-hmm.

Uh...my name is Bubbles.

- Boo.

[together]Ahh!

- Oh, no, sweetheart.

I meant that's my name...Boo,Boo Hagley.

Nice to meet you, Bubbles.

- Nice to meet you too, Boo.

- Why don't you and your friendscome a little closer, dear?

- Guys, it could be a trap forthe slime monster.

- Oh, you're a funny one, mylittle puffy friend.

But I'm afraid there aren't anyslime monsters here

oranywhere else for that matter.

- There aren't?- Oh, goodness no.

I secrete the slimewhen I get scared.

It's my way tokeep away predators.

- Oh, we're sorry.

Do you want us to leave?

- Oh, no, not at all, littleone.

When you came up to the cave,you gave me a bit of a startle,

and when that happens...

- This happens.

- Exactly.- So you were scared of us?

- Well, I was just sitting in myslime pit

not expecting any visitors,

and Icouldn't see who was there,

so, you know, a fish can't betoo careful

down here in the deep.

- Um, I'm sorry.

Did I hear somethingabout a slime pit?

- Oh, yes, indeed.

I love my slime pit.

Not only is it filled with lotsof the ooey,

gooey things I love toeat,

but my predators, they don'twant to go anywhere near it,

so it keeps me protected.

Oh, would you care to see it?

- [gasps]Would I ever?

- [laughs]- Here I go.

Whoo!

Oh-ho-ho! Yeah!

- Oh, Boo, I feel so silly everbeing scared of you.

- Yeah, you seem so nice.

- Which one of you is talking?Come closer.

- If we do, are you gonna slimeus?

- Oh, I wouldn't dream ofsliming you,

friends like you all.

I just can't see who's talkingto me,

unless they're very close.

My eyesight isn'tvery good, but then again,

it's so dark down here,

I couldn't see anything, evenwith good eyes.

[laughter]

- [cackling]

- Eep.

- So why were you all so scaredof little ol' me anyhow?

[together]Uh, well, uh...

- Because of all the spookystories about the hagfish.

- Ooh, I love stories.

What are they?

- Uh, you know, there's oneabout your spooky laugh.

- Oh, I just love to laugh,that's all.

Nothing spooky about beinghappy.

I mean, where do they come upthis stuff?

[cackling]

- Yeah, there's also the stories

about the slime monsters,of course.

- Well, guilty as charged there.

I havebeen known to let the slime fly,

if you know what I mean.

- I do.

[laughter]

- Okay, okay, what about thelast,

really spooky story about...

- What?What is it, sweetie?

- You see, there's a story thathagfish eat all of the different

creatures that sink to thebottom of the deep,

but I'm sure that's not true.

- Oh, well,that is completely...true.

[all gasp]

- Uh, why would you do that,Boo?

- Well, what I really do is eatall of the bacteria and germy

stuff that falls to the bottomof the ocean called detritus.

- Ooh, that stuff is bad for thewater.

- That's right; if that detritussits around too long,

it would spread germs in thewater, which could make

a lot of creatures down heresick,

so I take care of that by justeating it up.

- Wow,so all of the legends we heard

were partly true, but notfor the reasons we thought.

- And by believing in them forso long,

we were denying ourselves areally special treat.

- Really?What treat is that, dear?

- We were missing out onspending time

with a wonderful new friend likeyou.

- How about a snuggle?

- Ahh-ahh, who's there?

- Whoa.- Whoa.

[laughter]

- I gotta say, Boo, beingfriends with a hagfish

can get a little messy, butit's still a treat.

Now, who wants tocheck out the slime pit?

[together]I do. Me, me, me. Let's go.

- Come on. Let's go.

- And now it's time to... all: Get your feet wet.

- What lives in the deep ocean?

- What is this strange creature?

Is it an alien from outer space?

No, this animal lives in the deep ocean,

right here on planet Earth.

It's a giant isopod.

Giant isopods are crustaceans

related to crabs and shrimp.

And they're huge because animals in the deep sea

tend to grow bigger than their shallow-water relatives.

I mean, are you kidding me?

Look at at that thing.

It's as big as that kid's face.

Look at these giant spider crabs.

These are the biggest crabs on Earth

with legs that can grow up to be feet across.

Giant spider crabs and giant isopods

live in the deep ocean,

but the deep ocean is mostly unexplored.

Imagine what other wonderful and surprising creatures.

could be living down there.

- The deep ocean is amazing.

- This has been "Get Your Feet Wet."

- Good evening, Reeftownresidents.

It's been a fin-tastic day.

Maury, Denny, it's gonna bea beautiful night in Reeftown.

- [babbling indistinctly]

- Couldn't have said it bettermyself.

- Yeah.- [laughs]

- That's one nice-looking sandsculpture, Dunk.

- Thanks, Mayor Sting.

- Are you gonna make anotherone?

- Uh, not today.

It's getting pretty late,and it'll be dark soon.

I think I kind of lost track oftime

working on my masterpiece.

- Well, it's gonna be a bigbright bubble night tonight.

So you won't have to worry aboutit getting too dark.

- That's good.I don't really like it

when it gets too dark.

Everything looks spooky.

- Are you afraid of the dark,Dunk?

- Not all of it.

Just the parts wherethere's no light.

- Well, there's no need toworry.

I'll be on patrol, so Reeftownwill be quiet and peaceful.

- Thanks, Mayor Sting.

Yeah.

This is a pretty good one,if I do say so myself.

Which I do.[laughs]

Ooh, ha-ha, ahh.

[giggles]

- Ohh.- Huh?

[gasps]

Oh, hey-o, big bright bubble.

I'm really happy you're shiningbig and bright tonight.

Not that I'm afraid of thedark.

twang!

Yeow!

Now I'm afraid of the dark.

- Dunk?What happened?

Are you okay?

- Th-th-there's something in myhouse.

- Well, what is it?

- I don't know,but it was prickly and pointy

with a million stingingspikes on it.

I think it was a monster.

- Dunk, you know monsters aren'treal.

- Of course they aren't...except for maybe this one.

- Well, I'm sure it's just yourimagination.

But I'll go check.

[exhales]

Hmm....hmm.

I don't see anything in here.

twang!

- Ouch!

- So was it just my imagination?

- No.Swim away.

Swim away!- Ahh!

- There's probably nothing inthere, right?

I mean, this is silly.

- Right,so silly, of course.

So, uh,what are we doing out here?

- Well, we're just, uh, hangingout, keeping each other company.

- Right,keeping each other company.

Not scared.

- Yep,not scared at all.

both: Hi, guys.

both: Ahh!

- Oh, oh, oh,we didn't mean to scare you.

- Quiet.It'll hear you.

- Oh, so what are you guys doingdown here?

- We're hiding from...

the monster in my home.

- Oooh, a monster?What kind of monster?

- Yeah, is it goopy and gooeyand gross?

- Yeah.- It's a monster.

Does it matter?- Oh.

- It's spiky and sharp andprobably has snarling teeth

just waiting to take a bite...out of me!

- It's true.

I felt it with my ownfins.

- And that's why I'm staying outhere all night,

where it's safe.

- You're gonna stay out hereall night?

But where will you sleep?

- Uh, oh, uh...it's perfectly fine.

I can settle in here.

It's perfectly comfortable.

Ugh.

See?

- Yeah, you know what?

You're more than welcome to staywith one of us, Dunk.

- Really?

Thanks.That'd be great.

But what if the monster decidesto stay more than one night?

Plus, I really like sleeping inmy own home.

- So what will you do about themonster?

- Well, I guess I'll just haveto ask it to leave.

I just said that out loud,didn't I?

[together]Yep.

- Ugh.

Okay...I can do this.

- Yeah, buddy, go for it.

[upbeat music]

- All right, monster, youbetter,

uh, get out of my home...

well,if you don't mind.

You know what?You seem busy.

I'll come back later.

- Oh...scared.

- What?You're scared?

[gasps]Oh, hey, little guy.

Watch out.

There's a monster in there,and--oh.

Ow.

Those are some really pokeyspines.

Wait...was that you?

Well,you're not a monster at all.

- My name's Archie.

- Hey, look.

It was just a cute littlesea urchin.

- Aww, hi, Archie.

Well, I guess we just bumpedinto your spines

and thought you were a monster.

- Sorry.

[together]Aww.

- Oh, don't worry.That's why you have spines,

to protect you.

- Yeah, and they're good forscaring off predators.

- Watch out, predators.

[together]Awwww.

- I like you.You're nice.

- Oh, I just love your littletube feet.

They're so cute.

- Yay.They help me climb.

- Look at that.- Wow, look at him go.

- He's a little reef climber.

How does he do that?

- I think his tube feet are likecute little suction cups,

like on an octopus' tentacles.

- Look at me.And now I climb down.

[together]Aww.

- I can't believe we were scaredof him.

- Yeah.- He's so cute.

- Yeah, well, he looked a lotspookier

when we couldn't see him.

- Yeah, so where you been allthis time, Archie?

- I live higher.

- Well--well, then what are youdoing down here?

- Hiding...lower.

- Hiding from what?

- The thing up there.

- Huh? What?

Oh, that?

Oh, that's just the big brightbubble.

- Yeah, you don't need to worryabout...

[all gasp]

Ahh!

[all speaking indistinctly]

- Ow.- Ow.

- Ow.- Sorry.

- Wow, you weren't kidding aboutthose spines, Archie, whew.

- Come on.Let's just be careful.

[together]Okay. Yeah, okay. Just...

- Hold on.

What are we hiding from?

- From the monster up there,Dunk.

- Oh, why did we pick the sameplace to hide?

[together]Ow. Ow. I don't know.

- Dunk, why aren't you hidingwith us?

- Well, if Archie wasn't amonster,

what if that thing's not amonster, either?

- Oh.

- There's no one here.

Well, I guess we scared him off.

- Umm...[gasps]

I don't think we did.- [gasps]

- It's the monster!

And it's comingright for us!

What do we do?

- Everyone hide.Ahh!

- No.We need to face this thing.

Wait.

That's not a monster.

- Then what is it?

- That's...

all:[gasp] Mayor Sting!

- Whoa!Hello, kids.

I wasn't too sure who wasswimming around in the dark.

- Phew.I'm glad you're not a monster.

- Same here.

I'm glad it was just youkids up here.

But why did you think I was amonster?

- Well, there's a little seaurchin hiding from you

in Dunk's home.

- Hiding from me?

- Well, he was afraid of yourbig shadow.

- Hmm, well, I guess I can lookpretty spooky at night.

- Well, you sure spooked all ofus.

- You know, I don't think Archiewould be so scared

if he knew it was you.

[upbeat music]

- That's what I do, littlefella.

I circle the reef at night tomake sure

everything is safe and sound.

- I wonder why he didn't getscared till tonight.

- I suppose there's always achance

he's never seen me at night.

- Well, how is that possible?

You're so big.

- Well, sea urchins don't haveeyes.

Instead, all around theirbodies, their tube feet have

light receptor cells on them.

And they use those todetect light and shadows.

- You mean their cute littletube feet

aren't just used for walkingaround?

- Nope.That's how Archie can see you.

- Hi, everyone.

[together]Aww.

- Since the big bubble was sobright tonight,

there was enough light forArchie to see me swim by,

and my bigshadow must have scared him.

From now on, I'll say, "Hellothere, Archie."

Then you'll know it's me.

Well, I should continuepatrolling the reef.

Have a good night, kids.

[together]Oh, good night, Mayor Sting.

- Bye.

- Well...[yawns]

I could certainly usesome shut-eye after all that.

- Yeah.

- Wait.Don't go.

[together]Aww.

- Still a little scared?

How about if Istay with you tonight?

- Well, I thought you didn'tlike the dark.

- Well I don't.

But it's not so spookywhen you're with a friend.

- [laughs]Okay. Good night.

- Good night, Dunk.Good night, Archie.

- Yay.Snuggle time.

[upbeat music]

twang!

- Ouch.- Sorry.

- It's okay, pal.

Good night.

- Good night, Dunk.

twang!- Ouch!

- Hey there, kiddos,Lu and Bob here.

You know, lots of oceancreatures glow in the dark

by using somethingcalled bioluminescence.

- Some creatures who live where there is no sunlight

use bioluminescence to help them find food

or to keep them safe by confusing predators

or even to communicate with each other.

- How would you like to let your friends know

where you are just by glowing?

Now that's a bright idea.

Well, hey there, it's us, Lu andBob.

I'll bet you kids love yournight-lights, right?

Well, me too.

In fact, we football fish haveour very own night-light

on our heads.

We football fish have a

bioluminescent lure to attractour food.

We also have giant mouths toswallow up our food in one gulp.

- Just like you swallowed myheart, honeybun.

- Oh, Bobby.[chuckles]

- Hello, citizens.It's Mayor Sting.

Do you ever just feel likelying down and taking a rest?

Well, mostfish can't lie down,

but that's not a problem for me.

The very unique shape of our bodies

allow bluespotted ribbontail rays like me

to lie flat on the ocean floor.

We get our names because of the bright blue spots on our backs,

which serve as a warning to predators saying,

"Stay away. I'm poisonous."

And boy am I glad I have those.
