Cacatúas y loros son las aves más numerosas de Australia. Hace 200 años llegaron allí de la mano de los colonos europeos y, a partir de ese momento, comenzó su continuo ascenso tanto en número como en diversidad de especies provocando un cambio notable en el paisaje del país. Odisea viaja hasta tierras australianas para comprobar cómo es la vida de estas coloridas aves así como los problemas a los que deben enfrentarse diariamente, como las inclemencias del clima extremo de Australia, la falta de alimento motivado por los incendios de bosques o la escasez de agua en las temporadas de sequía. Además, se analiza cómo es la convivencia entre cacatúas, loros y humanos.

One of only two living mammals to lay eggs, the platypus has baffled and inspired the scientific community for hundreds of years. Three years in the making, this stunning natural history film takes us down the East Coast of Australia to the many serenely beautiful habitats of the platypus. Technology specially created for this film captures images from inside the nesting chamber of a wild platypus, and records the extraordinary sounds of the mother suckling her offspring. We watch as they grow from newborns to adulthood. Join renowned documentary makers David Parer and Elizabeth Parer-Cook (Dragons of Galapagos, Wolves of the Sea) on this fascinating journey from the rainforests of Queensland to the frozen mountains of Tasmania, as they reveal new insights into this mysterious creature.

This is the story of the incredible struggle for survival of the dragons of the Galapagos. On the island of Fernandina, each year Land Iguanas migrate up the steep slopes of the 5000ft active volcano to lay their eggs in the warm soil. If the rim of the crater is fully occupied they have to climb 1 km down the steep crater walls to the floor below. Many are killed finding a path down as the walls are steep & dangerously unstable causing many landslides.
