of the fauna
in this archipelago.
:44:05
Everywhere,
:44:06
the animals seem to mistrust
their natural habitat.
:44:09
Even some fish,
like this particular specimen,
:44:13
which can usually
live out of the water
:44:15
only for a very short time,
:44:18
not only have learned
to leave the polluted
:44:21
and radioactive ocean
for many hours a day,
:44:24
but they even migrated
to the top of the trees.
:45:06
Thousand of eggs
that will never hatch
:45:08
cover the surface of the atolls.
:45:12
They are the eggs of sea gulls
and other birds.
:45:16
Sterile eggs that died
before they were even laid.
:45:21
This sea bird went out
looking for food,
:45:24
but every night,
it still comes back
:45:26
to sit on them.
:45:29
The atom killed the seed
of life in the eggs.
