0:00:24 > 0:00:29BOTH: Today we're finding out how to look after sea creatures!

0:00:32 > 0:00:36These sea creatures live in an aquarium.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39We're meeting Joe who looks after them.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41What kind of fish do you have here?

0:00:41 > 0:00:43We've got over 1,000 fish in this tank.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47We've got eight blacktipped reef sharks.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51We've got five cownose stingrays and more than 250 porkfish.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54How do you look after all the different sea creatures?

0:00:59 > 0:01:03- I've got a cat and a dog.- How do you look after your cat and dog?

0:01:03 > 0:01:08I make sure they are healthy and I feed them and give them water.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11OK, it's exactly like that with the fish in our aquarium.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14We make sure they are well fed all day so we give them lots of food.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17We make sure their water is nice and clean and we make sure

0:01:17 > 0:01:20they are generally happy and healthy all day.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23There is one special animal I haven't told you about.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26His name's Ernie and he is a giant green sea turtle.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28How long do turtles live for?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Turtles live at least to 100 years old and some people

0:01:31 > 0:01:33think they can get to 150.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Unfortunately, sea turtles are endangered. That means there

0:01:37 > 0:01:41aren't many of them left so it's important we look after them.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44- How do you feel about helping me look after Ernie today?- Yes!

0:01:44 > 0:01:48Excellent. First of all, we need to feed him. Come with me.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03How come there is no meat?

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Sea turtles do eat meat, but as they get older brains

0:02:06 > 0:02:08they prefer vegetables.

0:02:08 > 0:02:13- In the wild, they eat lots of sea grass.- Do turtles have any teeth?

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Sea turtles don't have teeth.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17They have a beak, like a bird,

0:02:17 > 0:02:20so they can bite their food but they can't chew it.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26- BOTH: Done!- Great, let's feed Ernie.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34Here he comes. This is where we feed him. These are our tongs.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Pick up a piece of food and put it just next to his mouth.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42LAUGHTER AND GIGGLING

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Ernie gets fed three times a day. This is his lunch.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59- So what did you think of feeding Ernie?- It was good.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Did you have fun?- Awesome.- Good.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03So now we've fed him, we'll get into his tank

0:03:03 > 0:03:06and make sure it's nice and clean.
