Secret Amazon: Into the Wild • 2024

Category: Nature | Torrent: | Subtitle:

Lucy Shepherd and her Indigenous team embark on an unprecedented 50-day expedition to traverse virgin Amazon rainforest. Chapter 1: Lucy and the team enter the dense jungle canopy that will be their home for the next few months. Spirits plummet as one of the team gets seriously injured and has to be evacuated for treatment. Chapter 2: Lucy and the team come face to face with their worst fear - the deadly bushmaster snake - and have to make some split-second life-or-death decisions. They're also attacked by giant wasps and cross rivers infested with black caiman, which makes them wonder if they'll make it out alive.

Invasion of the Land

The next instalment describes the move from water to land. The fish that did so may have been forced to because of drought, or chose to in search of food. Either way, they eventually evolved into amphibians. Such creatures needed two things: limbs for mobility and lungs to breathe. The coelacanth is shown as a fish with bony fins that could have developed into legs, and the lungfish is able to absorb gaseous oxygen. However, evidence of an animal that possessed both is presented in the 450 million-year-old fossilised remains of a fish called a eusthenopteron. Three groups of amphibians are explored.

Super-Powers

Richard Hammond concludes his look at miracles in the natural world by discovering some incredible animal super-powers. Creatures that can create slime as strong as steel, survive massive extremes of temperature or even turn invisible. Animal super-powers that have inspired scientists and engineers to create brand new human inventions that could change the way we live. He discovers how the husky's paw can help American footballers; how a strange eel-like creature with a skull but no skeleton might be the next best thing to a spider; how the kingfisher could revolutionise air-sea rescue; and how the cuttlefish has enabled a military tank to pretend it's a small family saloon.
