episode description
Tropical rainforests are the most diverse and rich ecosystems on the planet. That means intense competition and deadly battles. In the mangrove forests of Borneo, saltwater crocodiles are drawn to the rich variety of species on offer. But when they are young they are vulnerable too. Young hatchlings are learning to hunt - right under the watchful eye of a Buffy Fish Owl. Who will be the dinner tonight? Beneath them, mud fights are the deciding factor in mating success. Mudskippers fly through the air in dramatic territorial disputes - tearing at each other's skin. In the Daintree, the oldest tropical rainforest on Earth, worlds are colliding. A turkey, snake and avian romancer find themselves in a three way battle of love, prosperity and life. Up in the canopy, green ants wage a war against nature and gravity, pulling together an impossible feat of nest construction. Watching their efforts, an ant mimic spider is out for blood.
