Take a peek beneath the ocean’s covers to discover the surprisingly inventive ways marine animals have sex.

--

On a reef in the Pacific Ocean, 17,000 camouflage groupers dart about in the cloudy water. It is, in fact, an underwater orgy— turned feeding frenzy. An orgy might seem like a rather flamboyant way to breed, but sex in the sea is a surprisingly inventive affair. So what other sneaky escapades are happening under the sea? Luka Seamus Wright offers a peek beneath the ocean’s covers.

Lesson by Luka Seamus Wright, directed by Michelle O'Connell and Lisa Vertudaches.
