Underwater astonishments | David Gallo

Translator: Evridika Cuder Reviewer: Jaka Bobnar

We're going to go on a dive to the deep sea,

Popeljal vas bom globoko pod gladino morja.

and anyone that's had that lovely opportunity

Vsak, ki je že kdaj imel to čudovito priložnost, ve,

knows that for about two and half hours on the way down,

da po dveh urah in pol potapljanja prispemo v

it's a perfectly positively pitch-black world.

svet popolne teme.

And we used to see the most mysterious animals out the window

Do sedaj smo najbolj skrivnostne živali opazovali skozi okno,

that you couldn't describe:

ki ga nismo mogli opisati. Utripajoče lučke,

these blinking lights -- a world of bioluminescence, like fireflies.

bioluminiscenčni svet, kot kresničke.

Dr. Edith Witter, ki dela za "Research Conservation Association" --

Dr. Edith Widder -- she's now at the Ocean Research and Conservation Association --

je iznašla kamero,

was able to come up with a camera

ki lahko posname nekatere izmed teh čudovitih bitij,

that could capture some of these incredible animals,

ki jih lahko vidite na ekranu.

and that's what you're seeing here on the screen.

That's all bioluminescence. Like I said: just like fireflies.

To je vse bioluminiscenca. Res, tako kot kresničke.

Tukaj vidite letečega purana pod drevesom. (Smeh)

There's a flying turkey under a tree.

(Laughter)

Vem. Po izobrazbi sem geolog, ampak to mi je zelo všeč.

I'm a geologist by training.

But I love that.

And you see, some of the bioluminescence they use to avoid being eaten,

Kot vidite oddajajo svetlobo zato,

da se varujejo pred plenilici,

some they use to attract prey,

ali pa da privabijo plen.

but all of it, from an artistic point of view,

Vse to pa je čudovito tudi z umetniškega vidika.

is just positively amazing.

And a lot of what goes on inside --

Kar se dogaja v tem svetu --

There's a fish with glowing eyes, pulsating eyes.

tukaj vidimo ribo z žarečimi očmi, ki utripajo.

Some of the colors are designed to hypnotize,

Nekatere barve res hipnotizirajo.

these lovely patterns.

In ti čudoviti vzorci. In še zadnji:

And then this last one,

one of my favorites, this pinwheel design.

eden izmed najljubših, vzorec v obliki vetrnice.

Just absolutely amazing, every single dive.

Vsak tak potop je neverjeten.

That's the unknown world, and today we've only explored

To je neznani svet. Do danes smo raziskali le 3 odstotke

about 3 percent of what's out there in the ocean.

oceanov.

Already we've found the world's highest mountains,

In že sedaj smo naleteli na najvišje gore na svetu,

najgloblje doline na planetu,

the world's deepest valleys,

underwater lakes, underwater waterfalls --

podvodna jezera, podvodne slapove --

a lot of that we shared with you from the stage.

veliko od tega smo delili z vami.

And in a place where we thought no life at all,

In v prostoru, za katerega smo mislili, da v njem ni življenja,

we find more life, we think, and diversity and density

smo našli veliko več in bolj raznolikih oblik življenja

than the tropical rainforest,

kot v deževnem pragozdu. To nam pove,

which tells us that we don't know much about this planet at all.

da ne vemo prav veliko o našem planetu.

Še vedno nam ostane 97 odstotkov, ki so lahko prazni ali polni presenečenj.

There's still 97 percent,

and either that 97 percent is empty or just full of surprises.

But I want to jump up to shallow water now

Sedaj pa bi rad prešel bližje gladini

and look at some creatures that are positively amazing.

in vam pokazal nekaj resnično čudovitih bitij.

Cephalopods -- head-foots.

Glavonožci. Kot otrok sem jih poznal kot kalamare.

As a kid I knew them as calamari, mostly.

(Laughter)

To je hobotnica.

This is an octopus.

This is the work of Dr. Roger Hanlon at the Marine Biological Lab,

To je delo dr. Rogerja Hanlona iz "Marine Biology Lab".

Neverjetno je, kako glavonožci

and it's just fascinating how cephalopods can,

with their incredible eyes, sense their surroundings,

občutijo svojo okolico s svojimi izredno zanimivimi očmi,

look at light, look at patterns.

poglejte to svetlobo, te vzorce.

Here's an octopus moving across the reef,

Tukaj vidimo hobotnico, ki se premika po grebenu.

finds a spot to settle down, curls up and then disappears into the background.

Poišče prostor kjer se ustavi, zleze vase in se zlije z ozadjem.

Tough thing to do.

Težko izvedljivo.

In the next bit, we're going to see a couple squid.

V naslednjem delu bomo videli par lignjev.

Now males, when they fight,

To je ligenj. Ko se samci borijo med sabo

if they're really aggressive, they turn white.

in so pri tem zelo agresivni, postanejo beli.

Ta dva samca se borita tako,

And these two males are fighting.

They do it by bouncing their butts together,

da z zadnjcami udarjata drug ob drugega,

kar je izjemno zanimivo. Tukaj imamo samca na levi in

which is an interesting concept.

Now, here's a male on the left and a female on the right,

samico na desni.

and the male has managed to split his coloration

Samcu je uspelo svojo obarvanost prikriti

so the female only always sees the kinder, gentler squid in him.

in samica sedaj vidi samo njegovo nežnejšo stran.

In samec -- (Smeh). To si bomo ogledali še enkrat.

(Laughter)

Let's take a look at it again. Watch the coloration:

Glejte obarvanost:

white on the right, brown on the left.

bela na desni in rjava na levi.

He takes a step back,

Umakne se nazaj, da drži ostale samce na razdalji tako,

he's keeping off the other males by splitting his body,

da razdeli obarvanost in prikaže drugo stran ...

and comes up on the other side --

Bingo!

Terna! Slišal sem,

Now, I'm told that's not not just a squid phenomenon with males,

da ta pojav ni značilen samo za samce lingjev, ampak ne vem.

but I don't know.

(Aplavz)

(Laughter)

Cuttlefish. I love cuttlefish.

Sipa. Rad imam sipe. To je orjaška avstralska sipa.

This is a Giant Australian Cuttlefish.

And there he is, his droopy little eyes up here.

In tukaj je s svojimi majhnimi povešenimi očmi.

Lahko počne precej zanimive stvari.

But they can do pretty amazing things, too.

Tukaj se umika v režo in

Here we're going to see one backing into a crevice,

and watch his tentacles --

bodite pozorni na njene lovke,

he just pulls them in, makes them look just like algae.

ki jih potegne vase. Videti je kot alga.

Disappears right into the background.

Izgine v ozadje.

Positively amazing.

Resnični čudovito. Tukaj se dva samca borita.

Here's two males fighting.

Ta dva glavonožca sta zopet dovolj prebrisana,

Once again, they're smart enough, these cephalopods;

they know not to hurt each other.

da se ne ranita.

But look at the patterns that they can do with their skin.

Poglejte čudovite vzorce na njuni koži.

That's an amazing thing.

Čudovita stvar.

To je hobotnica. Ne marajo biti opažene ko se gibajo,

Here's an octopus.

Sometimes they don't want to be seen when they move,

saj tako postanejo ranljiv plen.

because predators can see them.

Tukaj samec celo poskuša biti podoben kamnu,

This guy can make himself look like a rock,

in z opazovanjem okolice

and, looking at his environment,

lahko nevidno drsi po dnu,

can actually slide across the bottom,

tako da izkorišča valove in sence in ostane neopažen.

using the waves and the shadows so he can't be seen.

Zlije se z okolico, njegovo gibanje je neopazno.

His motion blends right into the background --

the moving rock trick.

Zvijača s premikajočim se kamnom. Veliko se lahko naučimo v plitvih vodah.

So, we're learning lots new from the shallow water.

Still exploring the deep, but learning lots from the shallow water.

Še vedno odkrivamo morske globine,

a se učimo od območij bližje gladini.

There's a good reason why:

Za to imamo dober razlog: plitvine so

the shallow water's full of predators -- here's a barracuda --

polne plenilcev. To je barakuda.

and if you're an octopus or a cephalopod,

In zato hobotnica ali glavonožec

you need to really understand how to use your surroundings to hide.

dobro ve, kako izkoristiti okolico za skrivališče.

V nadaljevanju boste videli lepo koralno dno.

In the next scene, you're going to see a nice coral bottom.

Tu bi hobotnica zelo izstopala,

And you see that an octopus would stand out

če ne bi mogla

very easily there if you couldn't use your camouflage,

spreminjati barve in vzorcev na koži.

use your skin to change color and texture.

V ospredju vidimo alge.

Here's some algae in the foreground --

and an octopus.

In hobotnico. Ni to čudovito? Tu jo je Roger preplašil,

Ain't that amazing?

Now, Roger spooked him, so he took off in a cloud of ink,

zato je pobegnila v oblaku črnila.

and when he lands, the octopus says, "Oh, I've been seen.

Ko pristane na tleh, pravi: "Ojej, opazili so me.

The best thing to do is to get as big as I can get."

Največ kar lahko sedaj naredim, je, da se napihnem kollikor se da."

That big brown makes his eyespot very big.

Zaradi velike rjave površine izgledajo njene oči zelo velike.

So, he's bluffing. Let's do it backwards.

Pretvarja se. Zavrtimo posnetek nazaj.

I thought he was joking when he first showed it to me.

Mislil sem, da se šali, ko mi je to pokazal.

I thought it was all graphics. So here it is in reverse.

Mislil sem, da je montaža. Zavrtimo nazaj.

Glejte barvo in vzorce kože.

Watch the skin color; watch the skin texture.

Just an amazing animal, it can change color and texture

Neverjetna žival, ki lahko spreminja barvo in vzorce

to match the surroundings.

glede na okolico. Poglejte, kako se zlije z algami.

Watch him blend right into this algae.

One, two, three.

Ena. Dva. Tri.

(Applause)

In je izginiila, jaz pa tudi grem. Najlepša hvala.

And now he's gone, and so am I. Thank you very much.

(Applause)
