The world is getting smaller and smaller and it is ever more accessible. With the evolution of modern technology, our knowledge and comprehension of the depths of the ocean are expanding, especially when it comes to drone footage. It has not been that long since drones were introduced and slowly but surely we began to be bombarded with amusing video footage capturing exquisite views of sea life from impressive perspectives. This disrupting technology has paved a path for more knowledge about the ocean and the species that reside therein.
Drones are able to get really close to animals without intimidating them or disturbing their habitat to the extent a boat or a helicopter would. Now, we are able to get our hands on remarkably rare video footage of animals interacting with each other in their living conditions. This opens up new vistas of knowledge for the humans interested in knowing about the ocean and its inhabitants.
