About this episode
This weekend, we’re heading beneath the waves to explore one of the most extraordinary places on Earth... Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
In this classic Squiz Kids Shortcut, Bryce and Amanda unpack why the reef is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, what coral reefs actually are (spoiler: coral is alive!), and why scientists are worried this incredible underwater ecosystem could be in trouble.
Along the way, discover a dazzling world packed with turtles, whales, sharks, clownfish, coral spawning, tiny creatures called polyps, and more biodiversity than you can poke a snorkel at.
Perfect for curious kids who love the ocean, animals, science… or just really cool facts.
