00:00On the seabed off the coast of Japan lies a particularly funky artwork.
00:08So intricate, I'd forgive you for thinking it's a man-made design.
00:15This mesmerizing geometric motif is not from a human mind,
00:20but rather a genius creator of the ocean.
00:26The white spotted pufferfish.
00:30This maestro of the deep creates something remarkable in the pursuit of love.
00:37For nine relentless days, he laboriously crafts a dazzling mathematical pattern.
00:47Using his fins, he meticulously shapes the sand into undulating ridges
00:52to make a flawless radial circle six and a half feet in diameter.
00:57It's one of the most perfectly composed masterpieces in the natural world.
01:04With a final stroke of his fin-shaped brush, he adds the finishing flourish,
01:10just in time to catch the eye of a passing ladyfish.
01:14Like any art critic, impressing her isn't easy.
01:23But fortunately for this marine Monet, she gives his creation the thumbs up.
