This wonderful ARTE documentary series observes how Australian wildlife adapts to the continent's ever-changing, harsh conditions.
Whether in the swamps along the coast, the forests of Tasmania or the deserts at the continent's heart, animals everywhere have adapted perfectly to their environment — but the competition is fierce. From giant monitors raiding emu nests to kangaroos that won't hesitate to fight their own kind over water, survival here demands strength or invention.
We find the series not only gripping but also a wonderful insight into the vast natural landscapes this beautiful country has to offer.
