More Details

Summary:

EVOLUTION EARTH embarks on a global expedition to reveal the animals keeping pace with a planet changing at superspeed. Heading out across the globe to distant wilds and modern urban environments, five episodes track how animals are moving, using ingenuity to adapt their behaviour, and even evolving in unexpected ways. Episode 2: Islands are like miniature simplified Earths, where evolution is playing out at superspeed right before our eyes. We journey from the Galapagos to the edge of Antarctica to seek out animals responding in extraordinary ways to our changing planet. We find sealions hunting in a completely new way, lizards changing shape because of hurricanes, and monkeys eating charcoal in response to deforestation.
