Octonaut
Although it is science fiction as regards its technology,the exotic creatures and locations that the crew encounter are real marine animals in their natural habitats!
"more or less that is the meaning"

Beautiful! I have never seen a picture of a white one before. I guess the white works ok in Antartica where it can blend in with the ice?
