♪ So much to learn about ♪
♪ It'll make you
wanna shout Blippi ♪
Hey, it's me Blippi.
And today we get to go
on this really big boat.
Whoa, it's enormous!
Yeah.
I'm so excited because you and I
are here at Pier Dolphin Cruises
in St. Petersburg, Florida,
and we get to explore
and learn about all
kinds of sea creatures
and maybe see some dolphins.
Hello, yeah!
Let's go.
(lively music)
Hey, we made onto the boat.
Yeah!
This boat is awesome
because it's not a regular boat,
this is a really big
boat for lots of people.
It's called a catamaran.
Yeah, look at all the seats.
Whoa, and look at
this over here.
Yeah, this is a
really giant net.
Whoo!
But this net, this
isn't for catching fish.
No, this net is really important
in case you drop
something over the side.
You can just pick it up
so it doesn't get lost.
Whoo!
Okay, we'll put
this net back here.
Whoa, and check it out!
Yeah, it's a giant brush.
Whoo!
Yie, yie!
Whoo!
So silly.
This brush isn't a toothbrush.
No, this brush is really
good cleaning the boat.
You can scrub it nice
and clean from dirt,
or maybe if there are barnacles.
Yeah, we'll scrub like this.
(Blippi squeaking)
Squeaky clean.
Yeah!
Okay, we'll put the brush back.
I think we did enough
cleaning for today.
Whoa, let's see
what else there is.
(lively music)
Whoa, do you see it?
Look at this.
The ceiling is my
favourite colour, orange.
Yeah!
Whoa, and this is really
important ceiling.
Yeah, it has a lot of life vest.
Look at it.
Yeah, these life vests
are super important
because if you're ever in the
water, they help you to float.
You can put 'em
on just like this.
Hello!
And then you take a clip,
(water rushing)
and then you're all clipped
in and can stay super safe.
But look, it's some
captain's hats.
Whoa, one hat and two hat.
Whoa!
So silly.
Whoa, look, it's my
friend, Captain Christian,
and he is a real life captain.
Yeah, that is awesome.
But what is a captain exactly?
- Well, it's very important job.
We drive the boat around,
we make sure everybody's safe,
and we make sure everybody
has a great time on our boat.
- Yeah, That sounds like
a really awesome job,
and maybe one day
when you grow up,
you can be a captain too.
Yeah!
Well, Captain Christian,
it looks like it's really
complicated driving a boat.
There's all these
buttons and levers.
- Yes, there's a lot.
Right over here, these
are called a throttle.
- [Blippi] Oh, cool.
- And the throttle, if
you push it forward,
the boat goes forward.
And if you pull it back,
the boat goes backwards.
- Okay, let's try.
We'll push the throttle forward,
(Blippi groaning)
yeah, and that makes
the boat go forward,
and that makes it go backwards.
Okay, cool.
- And this is a steering wheel,
very important part of the boat,
and it turns the boat to
the right or to the left.
You wanna try it?
- Yeah, I wanna try it.
Here we go.
I think I'm almost
ready to be a captain.
Yie!
Well, look at this.
It looks just like a
steering wheel on a car,
except this one's really big
because it's a really big boat.
Whoa, and what about
this right here?
- That's the compass.
That tells us what's north,
south, east, and west,
and which direction we wanna go.
- Whoa, that's so cool.
It tells you all the different
directions and where to go.
Hey, and look,
there's a microphone.
Hello, hello,
welcome aboard everyone,
Captain Blippi.
So silly.
Hey, I am so excited to see
dolphins with you today,
but first I think you
and I should learn more
about ocean animals.
Good thing I'm here with my
good friend, McKenzie Mungay.
Yeah, she's a real
life marine biologist.
Ooh, hi, McKenzie.
- Hi!
- McKenzie, what exactly
does a marine biologist do?
A marine biologist is
somebody who studies the ocean
and aims to protect it.
- Whoo, and what's
your favourite part
about being a marine biologist?
- My favourite part about
being a marine biologist
is being able to study
it and educate others
about the importance
of protecting it
so that we can ensure the
longevity of our planet.
- Whoa, that sounds
really, really important.
Hey, well, we're trying to
learn about ocean animals,
maybe McKenzie
can help us, yeah!
Okay, well it looks like we
have some sea creatures here.
What's this guy called?
- This one is a horseshoe crab,
and this is my favourite
animal in our touch t*nk today.
- [Blippi] Whoa,
can I pick him up?
- Of course.
- Yeah, okay.
Here we go.
I'm gonna be very gentle though.
Hello, Mr. Horseshoe Crab.
Whoa, look at all his legs.
- Yeah.
- How many legs does he have?
- Whoa, hey, let's count the
horseshoe crab's legs together.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
He has legs.
Whoa, that's a lot of legs.
- A lot of legs.
- Yeah.
Well, and, McKenzie, look,
it looks like he has all
these barnacles on his back.
- He does have all these
barnacles on his back.
The reason that he
has these barnacles
is because barnacles
are parasites
so they do attach to
the animals in the ocean
that are very slow moving,
and our horseshoe crabs
are pretty slow moving,
so they have tonnes of
barnacles attached to them
but they're also a
great health indicator
because if they attach
to animals in the ocean,
that should be
moving pretty fast.
It's normally an indication
that those animals
are probably sick.
- Whoa, so if you see a turtle
that's supposed to go
really fast with barnacles,
then maybe the turtle
sick and needs a doctor.
Whoa!
Okay, well, that's pretty cool.
I like you, Mr. Horseshoe Crab.
I'm gonna put you
back in the water.
Buh-bye.
Whoa!
Whoa, and, McKenzie, I think I
know what this is right here.
Hey, hello.
Look, this is a starfish.
- It is.
- Whoa!
Look at how cool he is.
His back is kind of like
a greenish grey colour
and his belly...
Whoa, his belly is
the colour yellow.
Oh, McKenzie,
Whoa, he's kinda tickly.
What are all these
little poky things?
- All of this little poke
things are called his tube feet,
and that is how he were able
to move across the sea floor.
- Whoa, he has a lot of
really cool tube feet.
Here, look!
Whoa!
Okay, this star
fishing pretty cool,
so as the horseshoe crab.
I'm gonna put 'em
back in the t*nk now.
Okay, buh-bye, starfish.
Whoa, and it looks like there
are a lot of shells in here.
Whoa, there's one right here.
And this one, whoa,
is really heavy.
It looks kinda like a rock.
Whoa!
Yeah, What are these
kind of shells?
- So this one that is heavy
like a rock is a clam shell.
- Whoa, it's a clam shell.
And what about this one?
- And this one is called
a king's crown conch,
and these are two
different species of shells
but they're also in two
separate classifications.
This one has two
identical matching halves
just like your hands.
You put them together, it's a
bivalve just like the clamp.
- Oh, is this a bivalve too?
- This one's not a bivalve.
This one's called a mollusk.
It does not have two
identical matching halves.
- Whoa, that is so cool.
Bivalve, mollusk.
And this one looks like it has
a king's crown on its head.
King Blippi with the
really cool mollusk.
So silly.
Well, these are
pretty cool shells,
but I'm gonna let him
go back into the water.
Whoa!
McKenzie, check this out.
Look at this guy.
It looks like he's
in a mollusk shell...
- He is.
- but he's not a sea snail.
- He's not.
This is a hermit crab,
and the hermit crab's
different from the mollusk
because the mollusk are snails,
but they will also
make their own homes,
so they do make
their own shells.
These ones just borrow
the homes from them.
- Hello, Mr. Hermit Crab.
He's just borrowing his home.
He didn't make him himself,
but he sure was pretty cute.
Whoa, and it looks like,
yeah, it's a little
pincher there.
I don't wanna get pinched,
so I'm gonna put him
back in the t*nk.
Buh-bye, Mr. Hermit Crab.
Buh-bye.
Whoo!
Whoa, McKenzie, look at this.
This is a really big shell.
What kind of creature is it?
- [McKenzie] This one is
called a lightning whelk.
- Whoo!
You mind if I hold it?
- [McKenzie] Absolutely.
- Okay, here we go.
Hello, lightning whelk.
Whoa!
Hey, McKenzie, is
this also a mollusk?
- It is also a mollusk.
- Whoa, it's so big just
like the small mollusk
and it has one of
these things too.
What's this exactly?
- So this is its foot,
but it's also
called an operculum,
and it's entirely
made out of keratin.
It's the same thing
as your fingernail.
- Whoa, operculum!
Hmm, that's a really big word,
but I'll just call
it the snail's foot.
Yeah.
Hey, a lot of these sea
creatures also have feet
just like you and I.
That's pretty neat.
Well, I'm gonna put this
guy back in the water.
Whoa, it's been pretty cool
learning about all these
different sea creatures.
Well, McKenzie, what
are those right there?
- So these are sponges.
Do you notice a difference
between the two of them?
- Well, this one right
here looks kind of new.
It's the colour yellow.
- What about this one?
- Well, this one,
hmm, it looks like a sponge,
but it's a little bit dirty.
- It is dirty.
I just found this one.
This one's fresh off the beach.
They are living
here in Tampa Bay,
and they're really great
for our environment
because they're able to filter
hundreds of gallons of water
every single day.
Can you find anything out of
the ordinary on this sponge?
- Whoa, look at this sponge,
it filtered a lot of
things out of the water.
Look, there's some
blue string and yarn,
and it looks like a
little piece of grass too.
Whoa, that's so
awesome, McKenzie,
that you found this
one in the ocean.
Whoa, and this one looks like
someone cleaned it out, right?
- Yeah, exactly.
So we do take our sponges,
we do harvest them here in
Florida and we get them cleaned
and you are able to
use them in the shower
or to do your dishes as well.
- Or even maybe
to wash your car.
Wow, sponges are so cool.
Thanks so much, McKenzie.
- Of course.
- That was so much fun
learning about all
those sea creatures.
And now I think it's
time for you and I
to look at some dolphins,
but we're gonna make sure
that we look at the dolphins
out in their natural habitat,
'cause we always want to be kind
and respectful to all the
sea creatures that we see.
Yeah!
Okay, I think it's time
for us to go sailing.
Come on.
I am so excited to set sail.
Yeah!
Let's go help Captain
Christian undock the boat.
Come on.
Hey, Captain Christian.
- Hey, Blippi.
- Whoa, what are you doing?
- We're getting ready to
untie all the dock lines
and head out into the bay.
- Yeah!
I am so excited to see
some real dolphins.
Well, what's this right here?
- That's a cleat.
So any knot that's tied properly
will be able to come undone
no matter how much
pressure is on it.
So, we just push
it open like this,
take it off the cleat.
- That was pretty easy.
- Yeah, this is the bow line.
That means,
bow means the front of the boat.
And then these are the fenders,
and then we're gonna
put those inside.
These keep the boat from
banging against the dock.
- Okay, whoa, these
are pretty big fenders.
- Yeah, good job.
- Whoo, we did it
.- All right, go ahead on board.
- Okay.
So, Captain Christian is
gonna start up the engine,
and I'm gonna go look
for some dolphins.
Yeah!
(lively music)
(bright music)
Whoa, we drove the boat
all over the ocean.
We finally found some dolphins.
Yeah!
Let's look.
Let's see if we can spot it.
(lively music)
Whoa, you see the dolphin?
Yeah!
Hello.
We did it.
We see the dolphins.
Look, it looks like
they're friends.
Hello, dolphins!
Whoa!
This is so cool.
Whoa, look, they're so close.
Hello!
They're swimming under the boat.
(lively music)
Look at what we found.
This is a seabird sanctuary,
and it's called Bird Island
because no one else is
allowed to go on it.
It's just for the birds.
And this island is filled
with a lot of birds.
Last year, over
birds hatched.
Whoa!
That's a lot of birds.
And there's all different
kinds that live here.
Let's see if we can
take a closer look.
Whoa, look at all the birds.
These birds right here
are really beautiful
'cause they have
really fancy feathers
and to the colour white.
Their names are the egrets.
And they like to nest together
because it keeps 'em safe
and because they're friends.
And look, they've
made little nests
out of different
branches and twigs
so that they can put
their eggs there,
and after the eggs are laid,
they hatch and you have
lots of little baby egrets.
Ooh, so cute.
Whoa, and look over here,
there are also some pink birds.
They're called
roseate spoonbills.
Let's see if we can see those.
And they're called spoonbills
because their beaks have
really silly ends to 'em.
It's kind of rounded
like the spoon.
So you might eat soup,
but the spoon bills,
they like to eat their food
with their spoon-like beak.
Yeah, and they eat all kinds
of things like insects,
fish, and even frogs.
Ribbit!
Well, this is really
cool thing up close.
Whoa, you see that?
Look, it's a little
baby egret, yeah.
He's sitting just
under his mama.
Hello!
Whoa, this Bird
Island is really cool.
Not only are there roseate
spoonbills, egrets,
there are also pelicans.
I don't know if I
see any pelicans yet,
but keep your eyes open
and maybe we can spot one.
Yeah!
Okay, I'm gonna keep
looking at the birds
and see if we can
find a pelican.
This right here is
one of the birds
that lives on Bird Island.
It's called a pelican.
Ooh, pelicans are really cool
'cause when they're born,
they are hatchlings,
they hatch out of eggs
and they're really small
like the size of a baseball.
And they don't
have any feathers,
so they look kind of funny.
But after about a month,
these pelicans will grow
about the size of a football
and start to get
lots of feathers.
They're pretty amazing.
Let's look.
Whoa, and come here, there
is even more cool birds.
Yeah, see this black
bird over here?
That bird is called an anhinga.
Ooh, that's a tricky
word to say, anhinga.
Well, look a Pelican.
Hello, Mr. Pelican!
Well, the anhinga
is pretty amazing
because they dive really
deep into the water
to catch their food.
They like to eat crabs and
also fish, just like a pelican.
The cool thing about the anhinga
is they're really, really
good at holding their breath.
So when they go underwater,
they can catch
the crabs and fish
and they can hold their breath.
It's pretty amazing.
And he's just hanging
out in the sun.
Hello, Mr. Anhinga!
This is pretty cool.
I'm gonna keep seeing,
I can discover any more birds.
Hey, I had so much
fun with you today,
learning about all
kinds of marine animals.
Yeah!
We saw dolphins and birds
and all types of creatures
that crawl on the sea floor.
Yeah!
And we saw some
really cool people
who did some really amazing jobs
like a captain or
a marine biologist.
Whoa, it was so much fun.
(lively music)
Seeing those dolphins in
real life was amazing.
They were so cool.
Whoa, look at this.
It's time for our Bubbles Lab!
And today we're going to
make an ocean in a bottle.
Whoa!
Look at it.
So many shells, little animals.
When you shake it up,
whoa, it looks like the ocean.
Okay, we get to
make one of our own.
Start with a water bottle,
and I made sure to take off
all the different stickers
and things that
are on the outside
so we can see right through it.
First, we need water.
So, I'm gonna take
one cup water,
pour it in here.
Whoa!
Look at it go.
It's already looking
like the ocean.
And we wanna make it look
like the actual ocean,
so we're gonna put a little
bit of blue colouring.
Just one drop.
One.
And maybe we'll
put a second drop.
Ooh, that's just
the right amount.
And now we're gonna
pour it in the bottle.
Be really careful.
This is a little tricky.
(lively music)
Whoa, we did it!
Look, all the water
in the bottle.
This is so cool.
And now, it's my favourite part.
We have sea shells and
sea creatures, woo!
All kinds.
Look, we have jellyfish.
We have, whoa, an octopus.
They're so silly looking.
Yeah!
We have some crabs.
Crabs and, yeah, let's
put in a sea turtle.
So let's grab our animals and
we wanna get some shells too,
so just pick out whatever
shells look really cool.
We have a white shell.
Whoa, look, this one's
like a little spiral shell.
And I'll just grab
a couple more.
Okay, now we take our shells,
put I'm in the bottle,
and now our sea creatures.
Turtle, octopus,
jellyfish, and hermit crab.
Buh-bye!
Once you have all your shells
and animals in the water,
the only thing left is we
need to put in some oil.
But first, I think that
needs a little more water.
Let's see.
Here we go.
Yeah, that's just
the right amount.
And now we can put in some oil.
Here we go.
Whoa, look at it go.
The oil is gonna help
make lots of bubbles,
'cause oil and water,
they don't like to mix.
Almost at the top.
Whoa, we're almost done.
This looks amazing.
Okay, the next
thing we need to do
is make sure this
doesn't get really messy.
We wanna keep it nice and clean,
so we're gonna take some
of this plumber's tape,
and I'll just wrap it
around the top of the bottle
so that no water or
oil will leak out,
then we can ask a
grownup to use scissors
to make a little cut,
and now we can put on the cap.
And to be extra safe,
we're gonna use tape.
And this tape is my
favourite colour.
It's the colour orange!
Ooh!
Okay, so we're trying
to use a little tape,
and, yeah, just wrap it around.
Make sure no oil
or water get out.
You don't want a mess.
Okay.
And then rest the tape,
and you have an
ocean in a bottle.
Whoa!
And my favourite
part, shaking it up.
Whoa, look at it.
It looks like the animals are
swimming around the bottle
really fast in the ocean.
And the shells, they
stay at the bottom,
just like in real life.
This was so much fun.
We made an ocean in the bottle,
we saw dolphins in real life,
we visited Bird Island and
did so many amazing things
learning about sea creatures.
Well, this is the
end of this video,
but if you wanna watch
more of my videos,
all you have to do
search for my name.
Hey, you spell my name with me?
Okay.
B-L-I-P-P-I, Blippi!
Good job.
Well, I'll see you soon.
Buh-bye.
Whoo!
Whoo!
(metal detector ringing)
- Whoa!
Ah, more junk.
Oh, look, a shark's tooth.
Whoa, D.Bo, there
sure are a lot.
(D. Bo barking)
I wonder, how many
teeth does a shark have?
(D. Bo barking)
Great idea, D.Bo.
We can go into the
ocean and find out.
I'm gonna need duck feet, a
graber arm and a propeller.
- [Robot] Duck feet, graber
arm, propeller, confirmed.
- Activate Blippi Station.
(lively music)
Shrinking down.
The Blippi mobile is
ready for adventure.
Whoa!
- Oh, hi, there.
I'm Dr. Paula the pilot fish.
I'm a shark dentist.
- Hey, it's me, Blippi!
And this is D. BO.
We're here to learn how
many teeth a shark has.
- Well, you swam into the
right corner of the ocean.
I'm about to visit my
friend and patient, Larry.
- Hello, I think I
have a loose tooth.
- We'll find out.
We pilot fish help keep
the shark's mouth clean
in exchange for protection
from fish who might chase us.
- Wow, what a great friendship.
Whoop!
- Whoa, someone
called a tooth fair.
- Let's Take a look.
Open wide, Larry.
(Larry growling)
- Nothing to worry about.
Come on in.
The water is fine.
As you can see, there's
not just one row of teeth,
there's row after row after row.
Go ahead and close now, buddy.
Maybe keep your mouth open
just a little bit, Larry.
- Whoa, another
tooth on the loose.
- That's why Larry's got
all these rows of teeth.
They're waiting in line for
when their fronties fall out,
whoop, and need to be replaced.
Happens all the time.
- That's kind like us
humans when we're kids.
Let's count.
One, two, three,
fifty-six, fifty-seven,
fifty-eight.
- I sure wish sharks tooth lost.
- Two hundred and thirteen!
Sure is a lot of
teeth to take care of.
- You're right.
There can be as many as three
teeth in a shark's mouth
at any given time.
And get this, through
his whole life
Larry here can grow and lose
as many as , teeth.
- That's a huge number.
- All done, Larry.
- Woo-hoo!
Ahchoo!
- Wee!
Bless you!
And I got the answer
to my question.
How many teeth
does a shark have?
Sharks have several
rows of teeth,
can have as many as
teeth at one time,
and , over the
course of their lives.
Upload answer, D. Bo.
Thanks for teaching us all
about teeth, Dr. Paula.
- Bye, Blippi!
Don't forget to floss.
- Hello!
Hey, it's me, Blippi!
And look at where I'm at.
Whoa!
Today, I'm at Santa
Barbara Marina
in Santa Barbara, California,
and this marina
has a lot of boats.
Yeah!
Do you like boats?
(boat horn tooting)
Yeah, I do too.
They're so cool how
they float on the water,
and they go from one
place to the next,
and you can see
things along the way.
Cool!
Can we find a boat
that we can explore?
Yeah, let's go.
(lively music)
Whoa, cool!
Look at this boat.
Whoa, it's the colour yellow.
Whoa, can you think of anything
that's the colour yellow?
Oh, yeah, like the sun,
or a sunflower.
Cool!
Hey, what about any fruit
that's the colour yellow?
Yeah, a banana!
Good job!
Oh, hey, here's
some black letters.
This must be the name
of this boat, Lil' Toot.
Lil' Toot?
Whoa, that's a fun name.
Toot, toot!
(boat horn tooting)
Whoa, cool!
Oh, hey, who are you?
- I'm Captain Fred.
- Oh, Captain Fred?
I'm Blippi.
Wait, captain?
Are you the captain
of this boat?
- I am the captain.
- Whoa, that is really cool.
What does this boat do?
- We take people back and
forth across the harbour
all day long.
- Wow, so this boat takes
people back and forth,
back and forth,
so it's like a passenger boat,
just like how there's
passenger buses,
but this is a boat.
Cool!
Do you mind if we hop on board?
- Welcome aboard.
Just watch your head.
- All right, come on.
Whoa, check out this boat.
Wow, It's so big
and roomy in here.
Yeah, I bet they can fit a lot
of passengers on this boat.
Whoa, whoa, look at these.
Whoa!
Cool!
Oh, little life jacket,
or a life preserver.
Whoa, definitely looks
a little small for me.
Oh, I can't even give
it on, it's so small.
Oh, these must be for children.
Cool!
All right, we'll put those back.
Wee!
Whoa, I wonder what's in here.
Whoa, yeah!
A lot of life jackets.
Whoa, in these are a lot bigger.
I bet this would
definitely fit me.
All right, let's try it on.
Hello!
Yeah!
Left jackets help you float
when you're going in the water.
Yeah!
You might have worn one
when you go swimming.
All right, we'll put
that right there.
Oh, hey, wait a second,
it even says, Lil' Toot.
Cool.
All right.
Here's that.
Okay, let's see what else
this boat has for us.
Whoa!
(lively music)
Whoa, check it out,
doesn't this look
like the boat's floor?
Yeah, well, actually it's
something really cool.
Let me show you.
All right, I have
to move these first.
Whoa, and this one.
All right, now for
the special thing.
All right.
Do you know what it's gonna be?
All right, lift up this hatch.
Whoa, check it out!
Yeah, this is the
engine of the boat.
Whoa, this looks like
an inline-four-cylinder
horsepower diesel.
No way!
Whoa, so cool!
Whoo!
And right here, yeah,
that's the oil filter.
Yup, definitely the oil filter.
Cool!
All right, we should
probably close this
so then we can go for a ride.
See you later, diesel engine.
Whoa!
All right!
(upbeat music)
Whoa, what's this
called in here?
- It's the pilot house.
It's you steer the boat.
- Oh, the pilot house.
Whoa, check it out.
Speaking of steering the boat,
whoa, it looks like
a steering wheel.
All right, turn it left,
whoa, turn it right.
Whoa, cool!
What's the left and the
right called on a boat?
- Left side is the port side.
- Okay.
- And the starboard
side is the right side.
- Wow, cool.
And sometimes I see
colours at night on boats,
on the left and the right side.
- The red side is the port side.
- Okay.
- And the green side
is the starboard side.
- Whoa, cool!
Speaking of red,
whoa, what do these knobs do?
- [Captain Fred] Red
moves the throttle,
makes the boat go
faster or slower.
- [Blippi] Okay.
- The black one makes the
boat go forward and backwards.
- Okay, so this
one is a throttle.
You push it forward,
it goes super fast,
but then if you pull it
back, goes a lot slower.
Ooh, and this one, if
you push it forward,
you'd go forward,
and if you push it back and
pull it back, you go in reverse.
Whoa, cool!
Hey, is this a radio?
Whoa!
Hey, hello, hello, Marina,
this is deckhand, Blippi,
and I'm here to
help Captain Fred.
We're gonna take a ride
and it's gonna be fun.
Cool!
All right, put that back.
Whoo!
In this, yeah, can I pull it?
- Yes you can.
(horn tooting)
- Yeah, it's the horn or
the tooter on this boat.
Cool, what else
do you have here?
What's this?
- [Captain Fred] This tells
you how deep the water is
and this is the actual
bottom of the water.
- Oh!
- And if we're out in the water,
you'll actually see
fish go by here.
- Okay, so if there's
a fish underneath us
between the bottom of
the ocean and the boat,
then you'll see a dot.
Yeah, we'll be able to see fish.
Cool!
All right, this is so much fun.
I'm so excited to go for a ride.
Is there any safety things
we need to know about?
- Absolutely.
Before we leave, we have
to talk about safety.
- Okay, I'm ready.
- We are Coast Guard certified
to carry passengers.
- Wow, that's a lot.
- Children's life preservers
are underneath the seats
in separate containers.
- Oh, yeah.
- And the adult life
preservers are in the large box
in the centre.
Children's life
reserves are for people
that are under pounds.
- Okay.
- And there's also life
floats on top of the boat.
- Oh, cool.
Are we ready to
take it for a spin?
- I'm ready.
- All right, let's do this.
Whoa, all right, here we go!
(lively music)
(boat horn tooting)
Whoa, this is so much fun.
Yeah, this boat is just
floating on the water.
And you can tell that
we're still in the Marina,
yeah, because there's
a lot of boats.
Whoa, boats!
Speaking of boats,
that one is so massive.
Whoa!
Hey!
Whoa, hey!
Whoa, check it out.
Wow, United States of America.
Yeah, boats love
to fly their flags
of the country
that they're from.
And this boat, yeah,
It resides in the USA.
Cool!
Whoa, do you see
all those sailboats?
Yeah, you can tell
they're sailboats
because the big mast in
the centre goes way high,
and that's what holds the sails.
Whoa, cool!
Sailboats are really cool
because they're
powered by the wind.
They don't even need an
engine or a motor, or nothing.
Wow, what a beautiful
day it is out here.
It's nice and sunny.
Good thing we have the top.
I might get sunburned.
Whoa!
Do you see those birds?
Wow, there's so many of them.
Yeah, those are actually
California pelicans.
Whoa, they're so big!
Whoa!
Hello!
Hey!
Wow, they're beaks
are so massive.
All right, see you
later pelicans.
Buh-bye!
Whoa, what a fun
day this has been.
Hasn't it been fun?
Yeah, I love boats!
Hey, and if you're wondering
why I'm not wearing
a life jacket,
it's because this is a
coast guard certified boat.
Yeah, and I'm older than
the age requirement.
(lively music)
Whoa, check it out.
Whoa, those are sea lions.
Hello, sea lions!
Hey, it's me, Blippi.
Well, they look so relaxed,
just hanging out
on that green buoy.
That's a lot of sleeping.
Whoa!
(gentle serene music)
(water splashing)
(lively music)
Whoa, this is so much fun.
Thanks for taking us for spin.
- Oh, you're welcome.
- Do you mind if I steer
the boat for a little?
- Do it.
- Wow, whoa, this
is really cool.
Whoa!
Whoa, do you mind?
- Go for it.
- Here we go.
(horn tooting)
Yeah!
(horn tooting)
(upbeat music)
Whoa, that was awesome!
Did you have a fun time on
the boat with me to today?
Yeah!
Well, this is the
end of this video,
but if you wanna watch
more of my videos,
all you have to do is
search for my name.
Will you spell my name with me?
Yeah!
B-L-I-P-P-I, Blippi!
Good job!
All right, see you again.
Buh-bye!
Hey, it's me, Blippi.
Today, you and I are
gonna draw a fish.
Wow, I love fish.
Yeah, they just love
to swim underwater.
Some are big, some are small,
some are fast, some are slow.
And today you and I are
gonna draw a purple fish.
All right.
I'm gonna do a long
arch like that,
and then I'm gonna
go straight up,
and then do the opposite.
Whoa, yeah!
See that really wide triangle?
Yeah, that is the tailfin.
All right, now for the lips,
I'm gonna draw a sideways
heart just like that.
Oh, so, cute.
And a small circle for the eye.
Ooh, a curve line,
yeah, to separate the
back from the front.
Oh, there we go!
All right, and what does
it have on its body?
Not fur, yes, scales!
All right, there we go.
Whoa, this fish is so cool.
All right, I'm gonna
draw a top fin up there.
Looks like a triangle, right?
Ooh, and a bottom fin.
But I can't forget
about some bubbles.
Whoo, whoo!
Whoa, yeah!
So cute.
Well, if you wanna
draw more with me,
all you have to do
is such for my name.
Will you spell my name with me?
B-L-I-P-P-I, Blippi!
All right, see you
again, buh-bye.
(lively music)
Hey, it's me, Blippi.
And look at where I'm at.
Yeah, I'm at a marina.
Yeah, marinas our body of water
where a bunch of boats live.
(laughs) So cool!
But, hey, check this out.
Wow, today we're at
the Marine Life Centre
in Bellingham, Washington,
and you and I are
gonna learn a lot
about some cool
creatures and fish.
Yeah, I love fish.
Whoa, let's go!
(lively music)
Wow!
Oh, hey, who are you?
- Hi, My name's Casey.
Who are you?
- Nice to meet you, Casey.
I'm Blippi, what are you doing?
- Well, I'm painting a picture
of some of my ocean friends
on the ceiling here.
- Wow, are those
sharks right there?
- They sure are.
They're dog sharks.
- Oh, that's cool!
Well, it's a very good painting,
but, hey, do you
mind if I go explore
the Marine Life Centre?
- Please do.
- Wow!
Check this place out.
Wow, this is gonna
be so much fun
learning about marine life.
Yeah, let's go!
Whoa, check it out!
Yeah, do you see that?
That is a skate.
Yeah, it's hard to see
because it blends in so good
with the rock surrounding it,
yeah, just like how
I kind of blend in
with this creature right here
'cause we're both
the colour orange,
the skate blends
in with the rocks,
and that is called camouflage.
Whoa!
Yeah, that helps keep it
safe from its predators.
Whoa!
Whoa, check out this t*nk.
Looks like there's some
cute fish in there.
Hello, hey!
Wow, they're just
swimming around,
and they look like
they are having fun.
Oh, what else is in here?
Oh, looks like some seaweed,
and some rocks.
Yeah, Casey says there's
actually an eel in here,
whoa, and she's
gonna come feed it.
Yeah!
- [Casey] Hey, Blippi, did
you find the wolf feel?
She's hiding inside of her den.
Sometimes if she's hungry,
she'll come out and say hello.
It looks like she
has a grumpy face,
but she's actually my friend.
Sometimes she likes
belly rubs and treats.
Her favourite is shrimp.
Let's see if we
can get her to eat.
(lively music)
- Wow, such cool
animals in here.
I love all these creatures.
Whoa, check it out.
Wow, inside this tote,
there is a kelp crab.
Whoa, do you see him?
Whoa, look at him.
Here, let me move
this piece of kelp.
Whoa, there he is.
Whoa, the cool thing
about this kelp crab,
yeah, is it's camouflage.
Yeah, he camouflages
by eating things.
If he starts to eat things
that are light brown,
then he starts to turn
light brown himself.
Or if he eats things
that are dark brown,
like this piece of kelp,
then he blends into that
dark brown piece of kelp.
Whoa, so cool!
Oh, look, a shrimp.
Hello, shrimp, you are so cute.
You wanna be pet?
Yup, there you go.
Oh, there you go.
Oh, it is so cute.
Hey, speaking of
shrimp, check this out.
Whoa, doesn't that
look like a shrimp?
Yeah, it looks like the
shell of the shrimp.
Wow!
Yeah, shrimp and crab,
they do what's called moulting.
Yeah, that's where the
outside of them, their shell,
yeah, comes off of them.
And this, whoa,
this is just a shrimp shell
because it came off a shrimp.
Oh, look at these critters.
Wow, these are
both hermit crabs.
Whoa!
Yeah, they're crabs
that are inside shells.
Whoa, check out what
happens when I pick it up.
It's gonna go inside the shell.
All right.
Whoa, did you see that?
Whoa!
Yeah, it used to be
outside the shell,
but now it's inside the
shell to protect itself.
Okay, I'm gonna gently
put it back right there.
Whoa, look at this t*nk!
Looks like there's some
crabs in here, some fish.
There's a lot of
cool things in here.
A lot of seaweed.
Oh, do you see all
those fish down there?
Hello, fish!
Hey, are you hungry?
Yeah!
Hey, check it out,
looks like I have some
yummy food for these fish.
Yeah, this is actually
nutrient-dense
food for the fish.
Yeah, it's just like you and
I eating vegetables basically.
Really good for us.
All right, here you go, fish.
All right, all right.
(lively music)
Wow, look at all
of these shells.
They're so pretty.
This one is so big.
Look at it!
Whoa!
It's almost as big as my hand.
Wow!
Whoa, and this one is so shiny.
Wow!
Oh, and this one is so pokey.
Wow!
Oh, here's another pokey one,
and those are
little teeny pokes.
Whoa, that is so cool.
Oh, hey, what's this doing here?
Look, it's a stuffed animal,
and this stuffed
animal is a stingray.
Wee, wee!
Hey, I have an idea.
Why don't we explore this area
and see if we can find
any more stuffed animals?
Oh, check it out,
a giant sea turtle.
Whoa!
Sea turtles are so cool.
They're so graceful,
just swimming in the water.
Flapping, flapping, flapping.
(laughs) That is so cute.
Okay, there you go.
Whoa, check it out.
We have two salmon.
Whoa, looks like
one is spawning,
and the other one is not.
Whoa, look at salmon go.
Wow, salmon are some cool fish.
They get so big.
Yeah, these would be
small salmon in the wild.
Okay, let me set
them right over here
so they don't fall in there.
Whoa, a giant sea lion.
Well, this one would
be really teeny,
but sea lions get so big,
and they make the sound,
oorf, oorf, oorf, oorf,
and it's so silly.
Oh, it's so cute.
Okay, let's put you
back right there.
Whoa, you found another one.
Wow, a giant clam.
Look, it's like a hard shell.
Yeah.
Whoa, look, it opened up.
And do you see what's inside?
Yeah, we found a Pearl.
Whoa, that is so pretty.
Whoa, so shiny!
I actually heard pearls get
created from irritation.
I think that's true.
Whoa, look down here.
Whoa, another shell.
Yeah, this is a hermit crab.
Yeah, check it out.
See, a crab,
and then it actually goes
inside its shell for protection.
See?
Yeah, it goes like
this on the ground,
and then it opens up,
and then it crawls around,
and then it goes inside.
Okay, we'll keep
you right there.
Here you go.
Whoa, another one.
Yeah, this is a fish.
And do you see how flat it is?
Yeah, it lays down flat,
it's two eyes are on
top of its body, yeah,
and it just hangs out on
the bottom of the sea floor,
and this is halibut,
and halibuts can get so big.
Yeah, this one would
be a small one.
Whoo, this is so cute.
Do you know what kind
of animal this is?
Neigh, neigh!
Yeah, that's a hint.
Yeah, this is a seahorse.
Yeah, it looks kind
of like a horse, huh?
Oh, cute, swirly little tail.
And look at what it has
right in its little pouch.
Little baby seahorses.
Woo!
Hey!
Wow, you're so colourful.
Whoa!
Okay!
Okay, let's see.
Whoa, a couple more.
Yeah, check this
out, a k*ller whale.
Yeah, an Orca.
Wow, they are so cute.
Whoa, an octopus!
Octopus are so smart, yeah,
and they have eight
long tentacles,
woo, with suckers on the
bottom to hold onto things.
Okay, there you go.
Oh, looks like we have
some whales right here.
Whales can get so big,
they get massive,
and they breathe air.
They go, psh!
And then suck in air,
and they can go underwater and
stay underwater for so long.
Oh, hey, look, a beluga whale.
Wow, it's so bright and white.
Yeah, it kind of
looks like snow.
Yeah, beluga whales
actually love to be
in really cold frigid water.
Woo, woo, woo!
(upbeat music)
Whoa, check it out.
Hey, what is this?
- This is one of our crab pots,
and by golly, we have a
lot of crabs in here today.
- Yeah, we do.
There are so many of them.
What kind of crowds are these?
- These are called
graceful or slender crabs,
and they look a lot
like a Dungeness crab.
Have you ever seen
a Dungeness before?
- Yeah, aren't they a
little bigger than that?
- They sure are.
These are almost fully grown.
- Whoa!
Can we take one out and
see it a little closer?
- Even better, we
could probably take two
and figure out which one's a
boy and which one's a girl.
- Okay, that sounds like fun.
Whoa, check it out, We
just got two crabs in here.
All right.
Okay, how do you tell if it's
a boy or a girl on these?
- Oh, well, that's
a great question.
I get that a lot.
So, I like to start with the
female crab, the girl crab,
and we look at her belly,
we flip her over
gently on her back,
she kind of calms down,
and we look for a very
wide triangle shape here
compared to the boy,
and that's because
she's gonna have eggs
inside her tummy there,
and she needs extra room.
The boy doesn't
need that much room.
- Okay, so that one is a
girl, and that one is a boy?
- You got it, Blippi.
- Whoa, check it out!
Wow, that is really cool,
and I like acting like a crab.
Woo!
(gentle upbeat music)
Wow, wasn't that so much fun
learning about
marine life together?
Yeah, that was awesome.
Seeing those cute fish and
all those creatures, wow!
It's crazy how they
live under the water,
and you and I live on the land.
Yeah, it's really
important for you and I
to help keep the
water nice and clean.
Yeah!
Well, this is the
end of this video,
but if you wanna watch
more of my videos,
all you have to do is
search for my name.
Will you spell my name with me?
B-L-I-P-P-I, Blippi!
Good job.
All right, well, I'm
gonna keep learning.
I love being at the beach.
Whoa, a flying fish.
Hmm, I wonder what's
underneath the ocean.
Good idea, TABBS.
We can go into the
ocean and find out.
I'll need duck feet
and a propeller.
- [Robot] Duck feet,
propeller, confirmed.
- Activate Blippi Station.
(playful music)
The Blippi mobile is
ready for adventure.
Wow, it's a whole
other world down here.
Is this like some kind
of underwater forest?
- Exactly, it is a forest.
Welcome to my neighbourhood.
My name's Jerry.
Jerry, the jellyfish.
- Hey, it's me, Blippi,
and this is TABBS.
We're down here to see
what's in the ocean.
- Oh, yeah, there's a lot.
The ocean is full of surprises.
I'll show you.
I'm going to meet my friends,
and I'll give you a
tour along the way.
- All right!
Thanks, Jerry.
- First stop, our kelp forest.
This kelp can grow
up to feet.
- Wow, that's so tall.
- Oh, yeah, but sometimes
the water current around here
blows the around.
- [Blippi] Kelp, kelp!
- Oh, no, this never happens.
(TABBS purring)
- Great idea, TABBS.
Let's use the turbo boosters.
- Oh, good.
Glad you're okay.
Let's move on.
- Whoa, that fish is
blue and has a long nose.
- She's a blue marlin.
She uses her nose to
find and catch food.
She's also really fast.
Whoa!
- [Blippi] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Oh, no, This never happens.
(TABBS purring)
- Yeah, TABBS, it
is dark in here,
wherever we are.
Jerry!
Jerry?
- Blippi, is that you in there?
Oh, no.
Hold on!
(Jerry groaning)
- Whoa!
- I scared the grey whale
and she blew you right
out of her blow hole?
That never happens.
- Thanks for getting
us out of there, Jerry.
Oh, you're all lit up.
- I told you the ocean was
full of surprises, didn't I?
- Hey, look, it's your friends.
- Hiya, pals.
You guys found me.
- And I found the
answer to my question.
What's underneath the ocean?
There's a kelp
forest, blue marlins,
huge whales, and a
jellyfish that lights up.
Upload answer, TABBS.
- And we're only on chapter one.
In chapter two, there's
an octopus and a shark
and a sea turtle and a tuna.
- [Blippi] Bye, Jerry!
- [Jerry] Oh, and there's
an otter and a seahorse
and a lobster and a sting ray.
- Hey, it's me, Blippi.
Do you wanna draw
sea turtle with me?
Yeah!
I love sea turtles.
They are so cute.
I love how they have a shell,
and then they can
swim under water.
Whoa!
All right, first, I'm gonna
take this green marker
and draw the shell.
So, I'm gonna draw a big
curved line like that,
and then another curved
line right there.
Ooh, and then that looks
like the shell, doesn't it?
Yeah, shells are really hard.
Up here, I'm gonna draw
the neck and the head.
Whoa, perfect!
And I'm gonna colour in
a circle for the eye,
and then a smiley face.
Yeah!
All right, let's draw another
curved line like this,
ooh, and another
curved line like that,
and three more curved
lines right up there
to complete the shell,
and then we need to draw
four squares for the legs.
Well, actually they're not legs,
they're actually
fins on sea turtles.
Yeah, so then they
can swim underwater.
Wow, I love sea turtles,
and I love drawing.
If you wanna draw
with me some more,
all you have to do is
search for my name.
Will you spell my name with me?
Yeah!
Ready?
B-L-I-P-P-I, Blippi!
All right, see you again.
Buh-bye!
