Speaker 1: Protector team. Join our adventure as we learn about critters

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: from around the world and in our back yards. Well,

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: my friends, are you ready for today's adventure? Me too,

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 1: Let's go. On the last episode of this mystery series,

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: we learned about Rory, who believes I'm pretty sure it's

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: some kind of fish in the ocean. Not exactly sure

11
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: who Rory is yet, but got to make sure that

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: you listen to part one hear those clues. Rory, a

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: member of the Grand Central Station REF, just spent the

14
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: day welcoming new members to her school. She showed them around,

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: heard about their crazy journey and how they needed to

16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: use their toxic tales against predators. Rory had shown them

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: the best places to eat algae. They all got settled

18
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: down in their beautiful home of Cauliflower Reef. As soon

19
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: as Rory's family members came home to meet Eli, James,

20
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: Ali and Amelia, somebody set off a terrible Jane of

21
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: color changing mess. Rory was left out with no other

22
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: choice but to change as well, but she needed to

23
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: know who was stressed out to begin with. Ah, that's

24
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: an interesting clue. Yes, stress, stress is what makes these

25
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: amazing critters change color. Their mood can affect their coloring.

26
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: When their normal blue with yellow fins, this means they're happy.

27
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: But if something scares them or makes them worried or upset,

28
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: they change to a deep, dark purple. Whow, okay, good,

29
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: it's not purple. Ninja's involved. We can cross that off

30
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: the list. All these members of Rory's group must have

31
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: gotten scared and they saw the others changing color. It

32
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: was like a chain effect. Wow. Can you imagine if

33
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: you started feeling a certain emotion or you felt scared

34
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: or worried that you just turned bright purple all of

35
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: a sudden, that would be pretty hilarious? Or what color

36
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: hm think of a big emotion? Maybe funny? Like whenever

37
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: you felt funny you turned some color. What color would

38
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: you turn if you were super super funny all of

39
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: a sudden, that would be hilarious. Excuse me, excuse me.

40
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: I need to know what is making everyone so upset

41
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Rory said. As she frantically swam around. She bumped into

42
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: some asked others if they knew, but couldn't find any answers.

43
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: After searching for quite some time, she spotted Milo. He

44
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: was with the newcomers and they were all huddled together. Oh, Milo,

45
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: I'm glad I've found you. What's going on, Rory asked, Well,

46
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: the only explanation I can come up with is that

47
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: someone was spooked. We need to find a friend on

48
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: the perimeter to see if they know more. Milo said, Oh,

49
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. I'll gotta check around the outside

50
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: edges of our home. You stay here for now, guys,

51
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Rory said, thanks, Rory, Milo has a relieve that someone

52
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: was going to get to the bottom of all this purple.

53
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: Rory looked tie. She looked low. Then she saw it.

54
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Swimming back and forth was the largest yellowfin tuna that

55
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: Rory had ever seen. Whoa. It was close to six

56
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: feet long. Tunas are not to be messed with because

57
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: they are a large predator of Rory's species. These tuna

58
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: have to keep on swimming to stay alive, so it

59
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: swam back and forth, back and forth. Rory knew it

60
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: was looking for something to eat, which was so terrifying.

61
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: Just below the tuna, Rory could see one small blue

62
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: blob laying completely still. If she didn't know any better,

63
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: she would have thought the little fish was dead, but

64
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: she knew it was a trick. You see, fish like

65
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: Rory will sometimes float on their side and pretend to

66
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: be dead. This keeps predators from seeing them or swimming

67
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: after them as much. It's a really special defense trick.

68
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: Rory watched from her same spot, motionless. If she moved

69
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: it all, she might catch the tuna's attention, and then

70
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: she would be in big trouble. Mum, flat of your

71
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: ba turuma, Rory whispered to herself. She watched and watched them. Miraculously,

72
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: the tuna swam away. The little fish opened one eye,

73
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: saw it was gone, and swam straight to Rory. Oh, Mia,

74
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: it's you, Rory said, as she realized who that fish was. Huh,

75
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: how well sursfared, Mia said, as she tried to calm

76
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: down a little bit. You did the right thing, Mia.

77
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: That tuna didn't see you at all, Rory said. Even

78
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: with razor sharp venomous barbs on her tail, she would

79
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: have been no match for such a huge predator. All right,

80
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: do we have any guesses of what this mystery critter is?

81
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: Rory and all are friends? Uh, I think I might

82
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: have a guess. Do you have any guesses? What fish

83
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: has a blue body, yellowtail and lives in coral reefs

84
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: and they also have toxic spines, change color with their

85
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: mood play dead? Huh? You are you thinking of a

86
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: word that rhymes with Rory? Yes, like dory. This critter

87
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: is called a regal blue tang. It's a fish that's

88
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: a part of the surgeon family. They can be found

89
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: in coral reefs throughout the ocean, and they play a

90
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: major part in helping corals stay clean and Aljane free.

91
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Remember that fun bluefish? Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming. Yeah,

92
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: that's who these fish are. Well, both regal blue lutangs

93
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: headed back to their school of other surgeon fish. Rory

94
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: went to Milo and the new friends to tell them

95
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: the whole story about the tuna. Mia told everyone else.

96
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: As the fish all settled down for the night and

97
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: their cozy cauliflower coral it couldn't help but be very

98
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: thankful that they had so many defenses against predators in

99
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: the big blue ocean, and that was about time when

100
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: they changed back to their normal bright blue color. The end.

101
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: We'll be right back to talk more about this adventure

102
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: after a word from our sponsor. Great job, you listened

103
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: all the way to the end. All right, my critter protectors,

104
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,600
