Titans of the Deep: The World of Whales

Editor's Take

Beginning with the improbable fact that whales' ancestors returned to the sea, this film traces how the largest animals ever to live adapted to it. It moves through their diving, breathing, communication, and social lives, balancing sheer scale against the mystery that still surrounds them. The tone is contemplative, more inclined to wonder than to spectacle.

Titans of the Deep explores the fascinating world of whales, the giant mammals whose ancestors returned to the ocean more than fifty million years ago. The film reveals how these creatures adapted to a life at sea, from their breathing and diving to their communication and social lives. It captures both the scale and the mystery of the largest animals on the planet. It is an absorbing journey into the world of whales. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
