Ep 22. The Gulper Eels

The Octonauts season 2 episode 22, titled "The Gulper Eels," follows the adventures of the Octonauts as they explore the deep sea. The episode begins with Captain Barnacles, Kwazii, and Peso who are on a mission to rescue a group of sea creatures that are trapped in a current. While on their mission, they come across a group of gulper eels who are swallowing everything in their path, including other sea creatures. The Octonauts must figure out a way to stop the gulper eels from causing more damage to the ocean's ecosystem.

As the Octonauts set off to explore the depths of the ocean, they encounter the gargantuan gulper eels. These eels have a sweet tooth and prefer to swallow anything and everything that fits into their gigantic mouths. In their quest to save the trapped sea creatures, the Octonauts soon realize that they have a bigger problem on their hands - the gulper eels are a danger to the entire ocean ecosystem.

As the Octonauts conduct their research on the eels, they discover that gulper eels are not aggressive, but they are simply opportunistic eaters. Their large mouths allow them to swallow prey that is much larger than their bodies. The eels also have a unique ability to inflate their stomachs to accommodate even larger prey.

Determined to find a solution to the gulper eel problem, the Octonauts devise a plan to lure the eels away from their current path. They create a decoy featuring a giant inflatable sea creature that the gulper eels cannot resist. The ploy works, and the eels follow the decoy away from their original path, allowing the Octonauts to rescue the trapped sea creatures.

The Octonauts also come up with a plan to change the gulper eel's eating habits. With the help of a new invention, the Octonauts are able to change the eel's perception of sweet flavors. In an attempt to explain this revolutionary invention, the Octonauts compare it to how some people come to prefer vegetables after initially having a sweet tooth. By changing the gulper eels' taste buds, the Octonauts hope to change their eating habits, reducing their impact on the ocean's ecosystem.

During their mission, the Octonauts learn about the importance of balance in the ocean's ecosystem. They discover that every creature plays a vital role in maintaining the balance, and that even a seemingly small change in one creature's behavior can have a ripple effect that impacts the entire ecosystem. Through their teamwork and ingenuity, the Octonauts are able to overcome the problem presented by the gulper eels, restoring balance to the deep sea ecosystem.

Overall, the episode "The Gulper Eels" is a fantastic example of how the Octonauts' teamwork, problem-solving skills, and love for the ocean can save even the most unlikely creatures. The episode teaches children about the importance of balance and diversity in the ocean's ecosystem. It encourages the idea that by working together, even seemingly insurmountable problems can be solved.
