![]() We like to say, “There’s no such thing as a typical day here,” which makes work very interesting. I get to work with a talented team that engages students, teachers and visitors from all over the U.S. Thank you for being here Brian! We are really excited to kick off this episode can you tell us more about your role at the South Carolina Aquarium?īRIAN THILL: Thanks Gabrielle, I have the honor to serve as the Director of Education here at the South Carolina Aquarium. ![]() ![]() The aquarium is also home to the Zucker Family Sea Turtle Recovery Center. The aquarium opened in 2000 on the historic Charleston Harbor and has over 5,000 animal ambassadors representing about 270 species found across South Carolina. Our guest today is here to answer all of our questions about the giant squid and all things deep sea! Brian Thill is here to share with us a bit about his work at the South Carolina Aquarium. These enormous organisms can be found in some pretty deep water, and since they don’t breathe air like whales or dolphins, the squid do not need to be near the surface water. What makes the giant squid unique is how big they are! They truly live up to their name "giant," as they can be 33 feet long and weigh 440 pounds! The giant squid remains largely a mystery to scientists despite being so large because of where they live. These organisms are voracious hunters and will eat things like fish and other squid found in the deepest parts of the ocean. Like other squid species, the giant squid has eight arms and two longer feeding tentacles that help them bring food to their beak-like mouths. HOST: Now, before we begin our chat, let’s set the stage for today’s deep dive. Inkling and the Octonauts search for Irving and the episode ends with Inking and Irving being reunited and taking a family photo. Professor Inkling realizes that the creature that grabbed the Gup-A is Inkling's long-lost cousin, Irving the Giant Squid.

Today, we’re talking about Episode 6 - The Giant Squid. ![]() Today, I’m your host, Gabrielle Corradino. This podcast is hosted by NOAA’s Office of Education and the Coastal Ecosystem Learning Center Network. HOST: Our monthly podcast brings together experts from inside and outside of NOAA to help you - and the children you care about - learn more about the real-life versions of the Octonauts sea creatures and the ocean they call home. MUSIC: Explore! Rescue! Protect! Octonauts! Their mission: to explore the world’s ocean, rescue the creatures who live there, and protect their habitats. HOST: You’re listening to "NOAA & the Octonauts" - an episode-by-episode discussion of the children’s TV show The Octonauts, which features a crew of quirky and courageous undersea adventurers. The stickers themselves are reasonably easy peel, but an adult’s steady hand might be useful during peeling and sticking.MUSIC: Octonauts, to your stations! Barnacles! Kwazii! Peso! It may drive you Barnacles listening to them on the TV, but the way the stories incorporate hard factual information is actually pretty impressive. The Octonauts are one of the rarer children’s characters that you are actually quite happy to indulge. The illustrations of each creature are classic Meomi and the design and presentation of the book sympathetic to the style.įrom the Humuhumunukunukuapua to the Snot Sea Cucumber, facts about the sea creatures are cemented through the interactive use of stickers, which children must hunt down and attach to the relevant information. This book features ninety of the sea creatures the Octonauts have met in their under water adventures. It’s pleasing to find this Octonauts Creature Report sticker book, is not a shabby half thought out publication spin off.
