| Summary |
This fast-paced and refreshing take on nature documentaries returns to explore more of the unexplained, unexpected and utterly weird aspects of life on our planet. It features the divers who found a transparent blob the size of an elephant under the water, meets the researchers who filmed an army of mice eating the brains of seabird chicks, and finds out what caused the flowing river of ice caught on camera in the Saudi Arabian desert. Using scientific demonstrations, detective work and eyewitness accounts, this series reveals what in the weird world is going on. Chris Packham investigates mysteries and new discoveries from the natural world. He solves the puzzle of strange balls of worms on a road and fish stuck in fences in Texas. He explains how an Australian town became plagued by giant bats and why so many sperm whales became stranded around the North Sea in 2015. Chris also explores how a robot could help save the Great Barrier Reef, why eagles might be the best defense against dangerous drones and how the discovery of a spider in the Sahara could take us to other planets. Finally, he reveals new discoveries like a strange alien cocoon in the Amazon and a plant that makes a home for a bat in Borneo |
