Description

Beautiful, complex, and enigmatic, rainforests are time capsules from the ancient Earth. They carry the genetic inheritance of millions of years of evolution, and although they are home to half the world's living species, much of their elaborate web of life is still waiting to be discovered. Filmed in woodlands on the slopes of Australia's Mount Warning, this program provides a stunning example of rainforest habitat as it examines the area's unusual wildlife. Viewers are treated to detailed and awe-inspiring scenes of the Albert's lyrebird mimicking the calls and sounds of other species, the regent bowerbird undergoing its elaborate mating rituals, a carpet python hunting and preying as only it can, the caper white butterfly in various life stages, and much more. A gorgeous exploration of the biosphere's vulnerable and mysterious treasure trove.
