Tasmania's unusual location between hot Australia and cold Antarctica makes for a uniquely harsh mix of weather phenomena, as well as the many, extremely diverse, landscapes in one spot: white sandy beaches, snow-capped mountains, glistening highland lakes, ancient rainforest jungles, peatlands, steep sea cliffs - home to rare and strange endemic animals and plants, including the last survivors of the ancient southern supercontinent Gondwana.
Hot sand wherever you turn your eyes to – the Namib is the oldest desert of the world, and one of the most hostile ones. But even here, in a valley named Hoanib, there is life! Some animals have developed unique ways to adapt to the harsh life in such a dry area. The biggest of them are desert elephants! To survive in Namibia´s desert they have to travel long distances, full of privations. Only alpha cow Clarissa knows where to find the rare water sources. Food is scarce and the heat unbearable. Even the tough jackals leave the Hoanib valley during the dry season – will rain bring salvation?
A fascinating in-depth look at the tiny, furless African mammals who have a busy social life that remarkably resembles insect interactions.
