The video of this female elephant was taken off the South side of Race Rocks. It was done iby Alex Fletcher in hi 8 – before we had SONY cameras that would record in Digital. One can see the patchy skin typical of the moulting stage just behind the head. This seal had probably already gone through the most serious part of the juvenile moult, which may have occurred on one of the sandy beaches over near Metchosin.

FROM the Royal British Columbia Museum Report • Canadian Underwater Safari consisted of 24 live television shows giving
students and the public an opportunity to see marine biologists at work
and to question them about science. Programs were broadcast across
Canada, the USA and 56 other countries. This was the first time any
museum has broadcast a program live to any other cultural institution.
Fiber-optic links allowed for two-way audio and visual communication in
British Columbia The viewing audience was estimated to be 500,000. More
than 5,000 children participated in the Newcombe Theatre portion of the
broadcast. The budget of $173,967 was raised outside the Museum. This

In October of 1992, Lester Pearson College with the collaboration of the Royal BC Museum, and many volunteer organizations in the Victoria community helped to operate the week-long live TV program, ” Underwater Safari.” This video is of Pearson College student Jason Reid ( PC yr. 18) discovering a wolf eel Anarrhichthys ocellatus while the program was broadcasting live. Cameraman Darryl Bainbridge followed the huge fish for some time and caught it feeding on a green sea urchin.
