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: capuchin 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 amongst the ice of Antarctica.

Key animal characters:
• Brown-tufted capuchins
• Dolphins
• Cheetahs
• Chameleon
• Killer whales

Narrated by David Attenborough
