Episodes (14):

1. Survival Of The Fittest

There are many fine examples of evolutionary history in the natural world. Whales evolved from land-dwelling creatures to today's marine mammals.

2. The Big Cats

The leopard is perhaps the best-equipped big cat, with a population spread far and wide, but lions have almost no predators.

3. The Great Desert Race

Desert animals have evolved to handle heat and lack of water. This includes scorpions, which have existed since life first crawled from the sea.

4. Herbivores

The African Savannah sees thousands of battles each day. How do elephants survive on a diet that even the strictest vegetarian would avoid?

5. Natural Warriors

Males and females of some species fight viciously. Though they are usually not trying to kill each other, the fighting can result in death.

6. Run Like The Wind

With predators always looking for a meal, their prey must constantly avoid being eaten. Defensive adaptations add to their chances of survival.

7. The Early Bird

Attack and escape scenarios involving avian predators and their prey, including horizontal speeding and diving to avoid capture.

Crocodiles are descended from animals that roamed Earth 250 million years ago, while snakes rely on the sun to control their temperature.

From insects that look like leaves and snakes that play dead to flying fish and poisonous toads, animals defend themselves in fascinating ways.
