Challenges of Life
Introducing the extraordinary things animals and plants must do in order to survive and reproduce. Witness amazing sights, captured at 1,000 frames per second: capucin monkeys smashing open palm nuts with stone 'hammers'; hippos launching from the water into the air; and chameleons stealing prey from a spider's web. Sprint with cheetahs as they band together to tackle ostriches; watch dolphins form perfect rings of silt to trap fish; and swim with a seal as it struggles to escape attacking killer whales in the freezing waters of Antarctica.
Reptiles And Amphibians
From icy wastes to arid deserts, reptiles and amphibians have used their ancient, cold-blooded body plan along with sophisticated behavioural innovations to master the harshest environments on the planet. Using their ruthless hunting abilities, extraordinary camouflage, guile and downright physical toughness, they thrive where mammals and birds fear to tread. See Komodo dragons hunting buffalo; sea snakes with one of the most toxic venoms in the world breeding in caves; the seemingly suicidal leaps of a waterfall toad; the tender giant African bullfrog that digs water channels to save not only its own young, but that of others too; and lizards that can walk on water.
