In Whale Sharks in Southern Asia's Seas, narrator Sir David Attenborough shows how the once-endangered whale shark is now protected in Indonesian waters, thanks to local fishermen. With respect for the ocean and its inhabitants, these communities have made sustainable fishing choices, allowing whale shark populations to recover. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In The Amazon Rainforest and Human Destruction, look at satellite images that show how forests across South America are being replaced by farms at a rapid pace. Over two million species of plants and animals live in the Amazon rainforest and many are endangered. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In Poison Dart Frog Piggyback Rides, learn how a male poison dart frog carefully nurtures his tadpoles. He rescues one of them from a dried-up pool and brings its mother to help feed it.

In Strange Sea Creatures Thrive Under the Ice, journey below the ice to see how life has diversified. Strange creatures, including nudibranchs, thrive there. Nudibranchs are hermaphrodites that possess both male and female reproductive organs making mating a matter of finding any other nudibranch. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In Sharks' Hunting Techniques on the Coral Reef, narrator Sir David Attenborough explains how sharks around the coral reef work together to herd shoals of fish toward the shore. Their technique traps millions of fish in shallow waters, allowing the sharks to fill their stomachs. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In The Sophisticated Feeding Technique of Humpback Whales, narrator Sir David Attenborough explores the Southern Ocean and the humpback whales that feed there. When Antarctica broke off from South America, it created swirling currents that sweep up nutrients from the bottom of the ocean, making it one of the richest waters on earth. In the summer, humpback whales come there to feast on shoals of krill, blowing curtains of bubbles and spiraling inwards to capture the swarm. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In The Tragic History of the Antarctica Whaling Industry, learn about the devastating impact of industrial whaling. Human activity has transformed the Southern Ocean, nearly driving iconic species like the blue whale and southern right whale to extinction. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In A Resurgence of Life in Antarctica, learn how the nutrient-rich seas play a crucial role in global carbon absorption, rivaling even the Amazon rainforest. The largest gathering of great whales ever filmed arrives to feed on krill. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In Iguazu Falls and Human Interference, learn how piraputanga leap out of the clear waters to feed on berries growing on the branches above. However, the future of animals in this area may be at risk from humans using nearby waters for hydroelectric power. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In Scarlet Macaws in Search of Salt, explore how a pair of scarlet macaws look after their chicks. They need salt, but are far from the ocean, so one of the parents flies to a clay lick and returns with clay to provide the salt for their chicks. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In Humboldt Penguins' Path to the Sea, learn how the Humboldt penguins need to reach the sea to wash themselves after building their nests. They have to find a way through a beach crowded with sea lions. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
In Meet the Desert Roadrunner witness a roadrunner in search of food. Roadrunners are built for a life on the ground and can run at over 18 miles per hour. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.
