episode description
Meet the animals that live in the extremes who have created unique tools and techniques to cope with the harshest challenges to their continued survival. From finding scarce water beneath desert ground to crossing thousands of miles in the skies, these amazing animals have evolved - and learnt - to succeed where other species have failed. In the arid plains of Sri Lanka, a herd of elephants use their impressive memories to track down what little water is left. In the rainforests of Madagascar, a tiny Giraffe Necked Weevil creates an impressive piece of engineering to give her young the best start in life. On a coastal cliff in Portugal White Storks work together to build the largest nests of any bird and fend of any predators that choose to attack them. And in lagoons on the edge of the Black Sea, a Dice Snake use a range of adaptations to demonstrate why he is one of the most successful snake species in the world. All these animals may live in extreme environments but over time they have developed the tools and techniques to thrive. When the environment seems to be against them each animal fights to live another day, proving that its the smartest creatures that have what it takes in the fight for survival.
