1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,866
As magníficas águas costeiras
da Colúmbia Britânica

2
00:00:02,866 --> 00:00:05,625
albergam uma incrível abundância
de vida marinha selvagem,

3
00:00:05,805 --> 00:00:08,409
que inclui baleias-jubarte,
leões-marinhos-de-steller,

4
00:00:08,409 --> 00:00:11,458
orcas, toninhas e focas.

5
00:00:11,688 --> 00:00:13,208
A costa da CB também alberga

6
00:00:13,208 --> 00:00:17,625
um dos mamíferos aquáticos mais icónicos.
mais conhecido e mais simpático:

7
00:00:17,625 --> 00:00:19,000
a lontra-marinha.

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,180
Com os seus compridos bigodes
e o pelo cinzento da cara,

9
00:00:22,180 --> 00:00:25,142
estes animais cativantes
mereceram a alcunha

10
00:00:25,170 --> 00:00:26,916
de "o velho homem do mar".

11
00:00:27,046 --> 00:00:29,699
Mas, apesar do seu aspeto engraçado
e das suas travessuras,

12
00:00:29,905 --> 00:00:31,450
as lontras-marinhas sofreram

13
00:00:31,450 --> 00:00:33,602
uma longa e negra história
na América do Norte,

14
00:00:33,780 --> 00:00:36,708
que quase as levaram à extinção.

15
00:00:36,938 --> 00:00:38,503
Chamo-me John E. Marriot.

16
00:00:38,503 --> 00:00:40,493
Com este episódio,
vamos apresentar-vos

17
00:00:40,493 --> 00:00:43,626
uma das histórias ambientais
de grande êxito no Canadá:

18
00:00:43,816 --> 00:00:47,200
a recuperação milagrosa
da lontra-marinha,

19
00:00:47,281 --> 00:00:48,798
outrora eliminada da costa da CB.

20
00:00:49,515 --> 00:00:51,898
(Música)

21
00:01:02,553 --> 00:01:03,601
As lontras-marinhas são únicas

22
00:01:03,611 --> 00:01:06,620
porque são os membros mais pequenos
da família dos mamíferos marinhos

23
00:01:06,620 --> 00:01:09,466
mas são também o membro maior
da família das doninhas.

24
00:01:09,726 --> 00:01:12,638
As lontras-marinhas encontram-se
em volta de ilhas, recifes,
fiordes e baías, abrigadas,

25
00:01:13,045 --> 00:01:15,196
e alimentam-se duma série
de mariscos,

26
00:01:15,196 --> 00:01:18,786
como amêijoas, mexilhões,
caranguejos e ouriços-do-mar.

27
00:01:18,876 --> 00:01:20,416


28
00:01:20,416 --> 00:01:22,500
Não é raro vermos lontras-marinhas
a flutuar de costas na água

29
00:01:23,936 --> 00:01:25,668
com a comida em cima da barriga,
como num piquenique
espalhado em cima duma mesa,

30
00:01:25,668 --> 00:01:28,781
e é de notar, que são
um dos poucos animais no mundo

31
00:01:28,795 --> 00:01:30,545
que usam instrumentos tal como nós.

32
00:01:30,625 --> 00:01:32,685


33
00:01:32,685 --> 00:01:34,750
Usam pedras e outros objetos

34
00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:36,921
para abrir os seus alimentos
contidos em conchas duras

35
00:01:36,971 --> 00:01:39,155
para obter as coisas deliciosas
que estão lá dentro,

36
00:01:39,155 --> 00:01:42,041
As lontras-marinhas exigem
montes de comida

37
00:01:42,041 --> 00:01:44,083
para se manterem quentes
nas águas costeiras frias do Pacífico

38
00:01:44,083 --> 00:01:46,244
e comem até 30% do seu peso corporal
todos os dias.

39
00:01:46,805 --> 00:01:48,211

00:01:48,211 --> 00:01:50,256
