The focus turns to insects, whose key to success is an armoured covering that takes on almost any shape. Bombardier beetles fire boiling liquid at enemies through a rotating nozzle, while a honey bee army stings a raiding bear into submission. Grass-cutter ants march like a Roman army and cultivate a fungus to break down the grass they have harvested. Narrated by David Attenborough

David Attenborough reveals how mammals dominate the planet and survive in extreme habitats. In the Antarctic, a lone Weddell seal wears its teeth down keeping an ice hole open to catch fish for its pup. In warmer climes, the gerbil-like rufous sengi demonstrates impressive speed to avoid reptilian predators, giant bats feast on fruit trees in Zambia and male humpback whales battle for a female

The focus turns to fish, the most diverse vertebrates on the planet, made up of more than 28,000 species. Off the coast of South Australia, sea dragons pair up for courtship, engaging in a mirror dance before the eggs are laid on the male's tail. Gobies climb up the vertical rocks of Hawaiian waterfalls to access secluded pools at the summit, and flying fish use their elongated pectoral fins to escape from predators. Narrated by David Attenborough

The focus turns to birds, revealing the role of their feathers, the ways in which they attract partners and the challenges they face during the nesting season. Narrator David Attenborough provides an insight into the courtship spectacle of the lesser flamingo on Kenya's Lake Bogoria, and follows chinstrap penguins in Antarctica, which make an exhausting climb up a volcano to feed their young
