Behind a cloud of floating plants called phytoplankton.
It's amazing how these tiny plants absorb the sun's energy and carbon dioxide from the water, and combine them to create sugar which is food for themselves.
Phytoplankton are plants that get energy from the sun, just like grass does on land.
And after a phytoplankton makes food for itself, this tiny plant becomes food for other creatures.
Tiny animals called zooplankton eat them and the food chain begins.
One creature being eaten by another creature: That's the food chain.
Holy Squid!
I didn't see that coming.
Or that!
Or this!
You're it!
(Laughing) Okay, you got me.
(Laughing) Yeah!
Check it out.
All this sea life begins with these tiny phytoplankton getting energy from the sun.
And then those plants are eaten by an animal, who's eaten by another animal, all the way up to the biggest creatures in the ocean...
The whales!
Uh-oh.
There's the top of the food chain in the water, a squid-eating sperm whale!
Probably not the best time to be in a squid suit, bro!
Yeah, tell me about it.
Hey, wait a sec.
I know that whale.
It's Bumper's mom!
But where's Bumper?
Whoa!
Ugh!
Oh!
Hello to you too, Bumper!
All right!
And the winner is the Squidtacular Martin!
Next time we're playing whale tag, and I'm the whale.
Then we'll see who's the top of the food chain.
Deal.
Gimme a high ten, dude!
(Laughing) Hey!
