[WHOOSHING]
169
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:41,266
DYLAN: WITH EACH LEAP,
170
00:11:42,835 --> 00:11:46,371
HE CAN MOVE AN ASTOUNDING
40 TIMES HIS BODY LENGTH.
171
00:11:51,911 --> 00:11:55,113
BEFORE EACH JUMP, HE ANCHORS A
SAFETY LINE OF SILK
172
00:11:56,316 --> 00:11:57,682
IN CASE HE FALLS.
173
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,430
BUT THIS ONE ISN'T HIS.
174
00:12:19,372 --> 00:12:21,740
HE'S NOT THE ONLY SPIDER ON THE
DUNES.

A FEMALE.
176
00:12:38,558 --> 00:12:41,159
MATING IS THE ARACHNID'S
ULTIMATE GOAL.
177
00:12:42,462 --> 00:12:45,764
BUT FEMALE PEACOCK SPIDERS ARE
CANNIBALISTIC.
178
00:13:07,453 --> 00:13:11,322
RATHER THAN RUN, HE'S READY TO
PERFORM THE COURTSHIP DANCE.
179
00:13:13,059 --> 00:13:14,726
TALK ABOUT PRESSURE.
180
00:13:22,769 --> 00:13:26,737
PEACOCK SPIDER EYES CAN PERCEIVE
THE ENTIRE COLOR SPECTRUM.
181
00:13:27,007 --> 00:13:29,574
SO HE UTILIZES AN OPTICAL
ILLUSION.
182
00:13:36,048 --> 00:13:39,217
THE DARK SPOTS ON HIS ABDOMEN
ARE SUPER BLACK.
183
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:45,957
ONE OF THE MOST LIGHT ABSORBENT
MATERIALS IN NATURE.
184
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,093
PERFECT FOR MAKING BRIGHT COLORS
POP.
185
00:13:57,804 --> 00:14:00,905
NOT JUST A DANCER, HE'S ON
PERCUSSIONS AS WELL.
186
00:14:04,644 --> 00:14:08,178
HIS ABDOMEN MAKES SUBTLE
VIBRATIONS, WHICH THE FEMALE
187
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:11,316
DETECTS WITH SENSORY ORGANS IN
HER LEGS.

192

BUT HE'S DONE ENOUGH TO AVOID
BECOMING DINNER.
193
00:14:53,026 --> 00:14:56,226
NO ONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT THE
PERFECT PEACOCK SPIDER DANCE
194
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:57,227
ROUTINE IS.
195
00:14:58,331 --> 00:15:01,999
BUT AUSTRALIA IS THE ONLY PLACE
ON EARTH WHERE THESE VIBRANT

00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:14,545
PEACEFULLY PACKING ON THE
POUNDS, BUT THEIR DADS ARE BUSY

DYLAN: ON THE CALIFORNIA
COASTLINE, POWERFUL MARINE
206
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,515
MAMMALS HAVE MIGRATED BACK TO
THE BEACH WHERE THEY WERE BORN.
207
00:15:52,385 --> 00:15:55,819
AND WINTER AT THIS BREEDING
GROUND CAN BE A CHALLENGING TIME

FOR MALE ELEPHANT SEALS.
209
00:15:59,091 --> 00:16:02,626
THE MALES AND FEMALES HAVE BEEN
APART FOR MANY MONTHS.
210
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:06,297
THE FEMALES HAVE SPENT THE LAST
SEVEN MONTHS GETTING READY TO
211
00:16:06,499 --> 00:16:10,167
GIVE BIRTH, FORAGING MAINLY ON
FISH IN THE OPEN WATERS OF THE

213
00:16:12,671 --> 00:16:15,807
THE ALPHA MALES HAVE SPENT THE
LAST FEW MONTHS GORGING AS MUCH
214
00:16:15,809 --> 00:16:18,776
AS THEY CAN ALONG ALASKA'S
CONTINENTAL SHELF.
215
00:16:20,012 --> 00:16:23,147
ON THE COASTLINE, THERE'S A
GREATER RISK OF PREDATORS, BUT A
216
00:16:23,183 --> 00:16:24,949
BETTER CHANCE TO PUT ON WEIGHT.
217
00:16:26,619 --> 00:16:30,855
NOW IN BREEDING SEASON, THEY'LL
INTEND TO PUT ALL THAT BLUBBER
218
00:16:30,857 --> 00:16:31,990
TO GOOD USE.
219
00:16:35,128 --> 00:16:39,397
THIS GIANT BEACH MASTER CONTROLS
A PATCH OF SAND HARBORING AROUND

00:16:39,599 --> 00:16:41,298
100 FEMALES.
221
00:16:41,835 --> 00:16:45,103

COMPETE UNTIL THEY'RE AROUND

225
00:16:54,747 --> 00:16:58,149

MALES MUST GO WITHOUT FOOD FOR

00:16:58,351 --> 00:17:02,252
A HUNDRED DAYS OR RISK LOSING
THEIR MATING PARTNERS.
227
00:17:02,722 --> 00:17:06,023

ENOUGH FAT TO TOUGH OUT THE LONG

UPSTART BACKS OFF.

EVEN FOR OLDER BULLS, FIGHTING
IS A COSTLY EXERCISE.
238
00:18:01,146 --> 00:18:03,847
IT'S MUCH BETTER TO ESTABLISH
DOMINANCE WITHOUT PHYSICAL
239

00:18:05,251 --> 00:18:09,487

SERVES AS A LOUDSPEAKER, AN
241
00:18:09,689 --> 00:18:13,324
INSTRUMENT THAT ACTUALLY
INFLATES TO AMPLIFY THEIR ROAR.
242
00:18:16,196 --> 00:18:19,230
IT'S A VOCAL SIREN THAT'S
DEVELOPED OVER MANY YEARS, A

SIGNAL OF BRAVADO, BRAWN AND
AGE.
244
00:18:26,239 --> 00:18:29,873

FIGHT OFF NUMEROUS CHALLENGERS

PAINFUL, INJURIES ARE RARELY
