Saison 1 - épisode 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. | |
Saison 1 - épisode 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. | |
Saison 1 - épisode 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. | |
Saison 1 - épisode 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? | |
Saison 1 - épisode 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. | |
Saison 1 - épisode 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. | |

Saison 1 - épisode 8 | Reptiles Crocodiles are descended from animals that roamed Earth 250 million years ago, while snakes rely on the sun to control their temperature. | |
Saison 1 - épisode 9 | Defences From insects that look like leaves and snakes that play dead to flying fish and poisonous toads, animals defend themselves in fascinating ways. | |
Saison 1 - épisode 10 | Underwater Predators Almost all animals living in the sea have bodies designed for hunting or protection, and predators have adapted extreme measures to survive. | |
Saison 1 - épisode 11 | Underwater Defences Protecting themselves underwater is a matter of invention and reinvention, so aquatic animals deploy an array of strategies just to stay alive. | |
Saison 1 - épisode 12 | The Race Underfoot There are many reasons why insects survive, from strong, flexible shells to wings that give them the option of flying away from danger. | |
Saison 1 - épisode 13 | After the Dark Nocturnal animals use the dark to escape predators, avoid the heat of the day, and take turns sharing food and resources. |
