What Lies Beneath | Primal Survivor

oh my god it is a blue ringed octopus
see those beautiful blue circles those
aren’t to make it look pretty
that’s warning coloration believe it or
not this tiny little creature is one of
the most venomous marine animals in the
entire world the blue ringed octopus has
been him a thousand times more toxic
than cyanide and there’s no known cure
if I was bitten by this little guy I
could suffer from paralysis and heart
attack
I could die within minutes time to quit
while I’m ahead and push on
but the weather suddenly has other ideas
a little mini cloud burst just passed by
and within only about a minute and a
half and filled up my boat I hate to see
what happens if a big huge storm came by
this rainwater is mixing with seawater
that’s seeping in my boat so it’s not
for drinking the dual threat of storms
and leaks has got me thinking
faced with two routes around this island
I’ve decided to take the less exposed a
channel that I know will be shallow but
which turns out to be harder going than
I’d expected
the shoreline here is thick with
mangroves trees and shrubs that grow in
salt water sediment
these inhospitable swamps can be home to
crocodiles and sea snakes but also to
useful edible species
this feels like some sort of weird
prehistoric world it’s really hard to
walk because the Mucky bottom and then
it’s got these mangrove roots that are
just shooting straight up into the air
it’s a weird place
