David Attenborough's natural curiosities. Armoured animals. Series 2, Episode 2
Description
Both the rhino and the hedgehog protect their bodies with formidable armour. Are these defences really what they seem? About the series: David Attenborough has spent a lifetime documenting the natural world, meeting a great number of extraordinary creatures. Now, in this second and longer run of his popular Natural Curiosities series, he reveals another group of bewildering animals that intrigue him. We discover the amazing frog that freezes solid to survive winter, and the female Komodo dragon's ability to reproduce without ever meeting a male. Other curiosities include some of nature's great tricksters and two creatures that have attracted an undeserved bad reputation. David takes viewers on a special journey through the weird and wonderful natural world to find out more.
