• SURVIVING THE JUNGLE

DESCRIPTION

Nature's eye-blinking moments go under the microscope to reveal the bio-mechanics operating inside the brawn, the astonishing abilities that allow animals to survive a hostile world.
 
Normally, they are too fast, too slow, or too hidden for us to see. Now, with new camera technologies and cutting edge animation, we reveal how these hard to believe moments actually occur-- the "inside story" revealing the brilliance behind behaviour. Rising hundreds of feet from the dark depths of the tropical forest floor, through layers of twisting branch and canopy- the jungle's vertical landscape pushes the limits of animal engineering.
 
Surviving the Jungle peels back the jungle's layers to dissect amazing moments of impact. Stealth and ambush reign here and survival depends on highly tuned senses and ingenious defences. From ninja ants to rainforest raptors, cutting edge HD cameras dive underwater and fly through the trees to reveal the surprising animal science hidden deep in the jungle.
