Dave is a scuba diver from Canada who has explored the waters of Darwin Island in the Galapagos several times. He's with a group of other divers, including his wife, who have come from all over the world to swim with whale sharks, the largest fish in the ocean and one of the largest animals to ever inhabit the earth. They perched themselves on a rock ledge at the base of Darwin's Arch. This area is known as "The Theatre" because whale sharks slowly swim past, giving scuba divers a close look at the gentle giants drifting on the current. Dave takes a moment to turn on his camera after getting settled on the ledge and he begins to record a selfie. He won't realize until later that there is a giant whale shark drifting right above him as he records. It's actually swimming right through his bubbles, a mere 5m (15 feet) above him. For almost half a minute, he captures what he believes will be uneventful footage. He turns the camera around and notices the whale shark now over his left shoulder, barely moving past. Stunned, he watches it glide through the water until he sees his wife, Kristy swimming out to greet the whale shark. Dave follows, as a good dive buddy must do and he records the beautiful encounter between Kristy and the shark as she films the its massive face. Kristy lowers her camera and gazes in wonder at the size of this beautiful animal. Whale sharks reach a length of 18m (59feet), similar in size to a school bus or a small submarine. Despite their enormity, they are truly gentle beasts, incapable of intentionally harming a human. After sharing an unforgettable moment with the shark, Kristy turns and swims back to the ledge where she will wait for another majestic whale shark and opportunity to swim with one of the ocean's giants. Dave didn't realize where the whale shark had come from until he looked at the video clip later and saw that it had snuck up behind him and photo bombed him in the most spectacular way imaginable.

Giant manta rays congregate in the Galapagos Islands more than any other place in the world. It's one of the best places to have a magical encounter with one of the ocean's most majestic animals. The wingspan on these creatures can reach 7m (23 feet) and they can weigh as much as 3,000kg (6,600lbs). The manta ray is the epitome of grace and beauty as it moves through the water by flapping its wings like a giant bird. These fortunate divers met this ray as it rounded a curve and swam past them in the waters off Cousin's Rock. The manta seemed unconcerned by the presence of the divers as it slowly passed by. Mantas are highly intelligent fish, believed to be capable of self-awareness. They have proven that they recognize their reflection and they actually move their bodies to view areas that they cannot see on their own. They occasionally exhibit curiosity when they meet humans underwater.

Spotted eagle rays are members of the stingray family. They are highly intelligent, curious, and highly social. This family of stingrays glides effortlessly on the current in the waters of Wolf Island, a remote scuba diving site. The currents collide here, bringing un upwelling of nutrients that attracts bait fish, sharks, and other predators. The animal life here is spectacular and diverse. Suba divers travel from all over the world to witness what is referred to as the world's largest iMax theatre show. Whale sharks, orcas, Galapagos sharks, and hammerheads, sea turtles, and even penguins come to the Galapagos islands for feeding, mating, and the cleaning stations where smaller fish remove parasites and pests from the larger animals. These divers have ventured here from Canada to come face to face with some of the most incredible and mysterious animals on the planet.

The capybara is the largest living rodent, native to South America. The capybara inhabits savannas and dense forests, and lives near bodies of water. It is a highly social species and can be found in groups as large as one hundred individuals, but usually live in groups of 10–20 individuals. The capybara has a heavy, barrel-shaped body and short head, with reddish-brown fur on the upper part of its body that turns yellowish-brown underneath. Adult capybaras grow to 106 to 134 cm (3.48 to 4.40 ft) in length, stand 50 to 62 cm (20 to 24 in) tall at the shoulder. They typically weigh 35 to 66 kg (77 to 146 lb). The record weight for a capybara is 91kg (201lbs). Capybaras are herbivores, grazing mainly on grasses and aquatic plants, as well as fruit and tree bark. Capybaras eat their own feces as a source of bacterial gut flora, to help digest the cellulose in the grass that forms their normal diet, and to extract the maximum protein and vitamins from their food. Their teeth grow continuously to compensate for the wear produced by grinding as they chew their food. The maximum lifespan of the capybara is 8 to 10 years, but in the wild capybaras usually do not live longer than four years because of predation from South American big cats such as jaguars and cougars and from harpy eagles, caimans, green anacondas and piranhas. Baby capybara are milk-bandits, suckling from any lactating female in the herd. These capybaras were filmed in the wilds of the Pantanal in Brazil. They are one of the world's most beloved animals.

Southern screamers are one of the largest birds in South America. Almost 1m (3 feet) tall, they have a massive wingspan of 1.5m (4.5 feet). They resemble prehistoric creatures with their head plumage and huge feet. This mating pair were found in the wetlands of the Pantanal in Brazil. When full-grown, they have few predators able to take them down. They roam the grassy areas in search of food, but they are excellent fliers and capable swimmers. They graze like geese and scratch for food like chickens. These birds typically mate for life, engaging in calling rituals as seen here. Their shrill cries can be heard at a distance of 3km (2 miles). Aptly referred to as screaming, these birds make excellent guards with their loud alarm calls.

The giraffe is one of the most beautiful and majestic animals on earth. It holds the title as the tallest terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant on the planet. It's long neck and striking pattern make it instantly recognized. Giraffes reach a height of 5.7 m (18.7 ft). Fully grown females reach a weight of 1,192 kg (2,628 lb) Females are slightly smaller. Giraffes hold several titles including being the animal with the longest tongue and the strongest tongue. Giraffes have uniquely adapted skull bones to allow them to bend their head back so they can access leaves directly above them. When drought strikes a region, the giraffe has very little competition as it easily reaches the highest foliage. But researchers believe that there is also a possibility that the giraffes with the longest necks require more nutrients than their counterparts, placing them at a disadvantage. The bone structure in a giraffe's head even gives them a very powerful weapon. The bony horns on the top of their head is used in combat with other giraffes to establish dominance. It is also used to deliver extremely powerful blows to predators such as lions and hyenas. With their long neck, they can swing their head like a club. Giraffes are fast runners, being able to maintain speeds of 50km/h (31mph) over great distances and up to 60km/h (37mph) for shorter sprints. This allows them to outrun many predators. A giraffe has a very large heart in comparison with other animals. It also possesses extremely strong esophageal muscles to allow food to pass back up to the mouth for rumination. Giraffes are truly a marvel of nature and a sight to behold. These magnificent animals are part of a wild herd in Kenya, Africa. A close look at a giraffe casually eating in the wild is something that will never be forgotten.

This groundhog is just too cute! He comes out of his burrow in the morning to look around and he finds a strange object sitting right in front of the entrance. Curiously, he decides to have a sniff. Sensing that it's nothing that will do him any harm, he decides to get tucked in at the den entrance and have a little more of a snooze. It's almost as if he pushed a snooze button on an alarm clock before having another 10 minutes to doze in the sunshine.
