Leafy Seadragons of South Australia (Is it a fish or seaweed?)

In an epic expedition down under, the Bird family goes on a search for the most exquisite seahorse in the world--the Leafy Seadragon! Just south of Adelaide in South Australia is a place where the "Leafies" can be found! But the water is cold and the wind is blowing!

JONATHAN BIRD'S BLUE WORLD is an Emmy Award-winning underwater science/adventure series featuring underwater cinematographer/naturalist Jonathan Bird.

I was actually sleepy, but when I accidentally pressed this video my eyes became wide open. Unbelievable creature. Thanks for sharing.

I like your family’s collective motivation to go and do underwater adventures together. You folks are Truely blessed.

I like how they built a new port walk with stairs for divers.

Nice vegetation bed and seadragon.
I’m glad you folks found some seadragon to film the first time in the water.
Look how the seadragon just floats gracefully with tides and underwater currents.
It felt like a short video for such a far ways to travel. I guess the water was too cold for the children.

Thank you folks for sharing such experiences who would never even know what it’s like underwater, especially how you feel peaceful joyful. 💚💙

Totally worth the unforgettable trip to the Oz coast from Boston. What an adventure! Glad you captured that precious fotography of the Leafy Sea dragon in his lair! Liked and subbed

I love Leafy Sea Dragons, they're so majestic though I'm a little more partial to the Weedy Sea Dragon because it was the first one I saw and I love their colors...amazing creatures.

0:58 That face is just brilliant 🤣
1:33 I KNOW! I _never_ sleep on airplanes. It’s literally impossible for me.
6:39 Oh my god that is gorgeous
8:08 That’s a cool shot right there
9:07 That’s adorable 🤣🤣🤣
9:21 20 years? Omg

Wow, I love these things. Especially with the conditions, you did AMAZING with the shots! I kinda feel bad for Elise and Liam cause they had to be cold, but I’m pretty sure they enjoyed it! Also, the poor seahorses are probably trying so hard to stay camouflaged, like you said.

Oh and guess what? ITS OFFICIAL IM GETTING YOUR MERCH FOR CHRISTMAS I’m literally so excited 💙💙💙💙💙💙

Magical, graceful, regal, and the essence of beauty.

That was so soothing to watch. What a curious way to live a life, just hanging out in the sea gardens and getting tossed around by the waves. And how do they grow those weird pseudo-leaves? They're just amazing.

[Bladavia]

I would've really liked to hear more about their lives. How/what do they eat ? Their breeding cycle, so on

[rebeloftheeast]

The Leafy Seadragons are my FAVOURITE Seadragons! I love Seadragons in general but these are my absolute favourite due to how unique and unworldly they look! The way they swim and look makes them look like Unicorns!

[muhamadamirulhafiz]

Leafy sea dragon were totally worth the excitement!!!

[laurametheny]

Oh boy! You have no idea how happy this made me! Sea Horses/Dragons were my very first loves of sea critters. Back when I was still a teen. I have them all over my room! I even have a sea horse roach clip lol. I don't use that; it's handmade and beautiful. My fam has bought me sea horse things too. I even have a Littlest Pet Shop Sea Horse. Along side a Giraffe which I am also crazy about. Have become more of an animal lover since I've grown older and unable to work after 30yrs of physical labor. And children. So I'm tickled to see your whole lovely fam out there! My granddaughter went to a scuba birthday party once. I was so excited for her I even subbed her to Scuba Mag. She didn't pursue it tho.😓 I made sure my daughter had swimming lessons at age 4 and she did the same with her 3 but none have been interested in going further. My granddaughter is an NHS member with an outstanding grade point and plays violin. She has huge scholarships available and I had hoped for some kind of animal or human biology but she's chosen to stay here and go for child psychology. Guess that's a good thing too. One grandson is in engineering..biomedical..so good as well. Wish I had or my daughter, gone into animal science but we both had families young and had to focus on that. Boy I'm just babbling away! Sorry mate! Lol. Love you guys! Hope you are still doing this. I'm just trying to catch all the stuff youtube is now sending me. Late. No surprise.🙏💙🐡🐉 Closest thing to a sea dragon in my emojis. What a shame.
