NARRATOR: WHEN YOU SEE THIS
SYMBOL, YOU KNOW YOU'RE

WATCHING TELEVISION THAT'S
EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL.

THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

DYLAN: HI EVERYONE, I'M DYLAN
DREYER.

IT'S TIME TO DISCOVER SOME OF
THE COOLEST REPTILES AND

AMPHIBIANS AROUND.

THIS IS EARTH ODYSSEY.

COMING UP, THE RAREST COLOR IN
NATURE REALLY STANDS

OUT IN A SEA OF SAND.

FIND OUT WHY IT MATTERS TO THIS
SPECIES.

AND LIFE IN THE TREES ISN'T AS
SAFE AS IT SEEMS.

PLUS, FROGGY GOES
A-COURTING — TINY SUITORS

SHAKE A LEG.

AND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE UNDER
THE SEA WITH

A GENTLE GREEN GIANT.

WARMING UP TO COLD-BLOODED
CREATURES STARTING

NOW ON EARTH ODYSSEY.

AT FIRST GLANCE, THEY CAN SEEM
CREEPY AND CRAWLY.

BUT REPTILES ARE COMPLEX AND
FASCINATING CREATURES.

DEPENDING ON THE SPECIES, THEY
CAN SHED THEIR SKIN, GROW A NEW

TAIL, LIVE FOR 150 YEARS, OR
SWIM THOUSANDS OF MILES ACROSS

THE OPEN OCEAN.

IN OUR FIRST STORY, WE DISCOVER
A DESERT DWELLER WITH A KNACK

FOR TURNING BLUE.

THE MIDDLE EAST IS AMONG THE
HOTTEST AND DRIEST PLACES

ON THE PLANET.

AFTER A LONG, COLD DESERT NIGHT,
COLD-BLOODED ANIMALS NEED TO

RE-ENERGIZE FAST.

THIS LIZARD DOES HIS MORNING SUN
WORSHIPPING IN A CANYON WHERE

ORDINARY ROCKS AND STONES HAVE
BEEN TRANSFORMED

IN TO SOMETHING
MAGNIFICENT — PETRA.

FACING EAST, SUNRISE REVEALS
THIS ANCIENT CIVILIZATION.

BASKING ON ROCK FACES, THE
UNMISTAKABLE SINAI AGAMA LIZARD

NEEDS TO WARM UP QUICKLY FOR A
MORNING OF SHOWMANSHIP.

IT'S MATING SEASON, SO HE IS
SEARCHING FOR A PODIUM ON WHICH

TO PERFORM.

LIKE OTHER AGAMA LIZARDS, HIS
NODS AND PUSH-UPS ARE A SIGN OF

HIS DOMINANCE.

BUT IT IS HIS COLOR THAT REALLY
GIVES HIM A LEG UP.

TURNING BLUE DURING MATING
SEASON HELPS HIM STAND OUT AND

ATTRACT A SUITOR'S ATTENTION.

WITH AGE, THE VIVID BLUE COVERS
MORE AND MORE OF HIS BODY AND

INCREASES HIS CHANCES.

BUT ATTRACTING ATTENTION CAN
ALSO WORK

AGAINST YOU IN JORDAN'S DESERTS.

THE PERSIAN HORNED VIPER

HAS A TASTE FOR LIZARDS.

BEING NOCTURNAL, THIS IS HIS
LAST OPPORTUNITY TO EAT BEFORE

THE SUN GROWS TOO STRONG.

STUNTED SHORT HORNS MEAN THESE
SNAKES ARE OFTEN KNOWN AS FALSE

HORNED VIPERS.

BUT UNDERESTIMATING THIS
ASSASSIN COULD BE YOUR LAST

MISTAKE.

HE PACKS ENOUGH VENOM TO CAUSE
PARALYSIS IN A HUMAN.

ONE BITE IS ALL HE NEEDS TO
BRING DOWN HIS PREY.

FOR AN AMBUSH, STEALTH IS
CRITICAL.

THE BOBBING BLUE AGAMA SHOULD
KEEP HIS WITS ABOUT HIM.

BUT IT'S GETTING LATE FOR THE
FALSE HORNED VIPER.

AVOIDING OVERHEATING IS
CRITICAL.

HUNTING WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL
THE SUN'S ENERGIES

SLIP AWAY AND NIGHT
FALLS ONCE AGAIN.

COMING UP, HOW THESE MACAQUES
ALERT EACH OTHER WHEN

DANGER IS NEAR.

PLUS, THIS TINY SPECIES IS A
REAL SHOW-OFF WHEN IT

COMES TO LOVE.

AND THE WORLD'S LARGEST SEA
TURTLE NEEDS A

HIDING PLACE FAST.

HOW COLD-BLOODED CREATURES ADAPT
WHEN

EARTH ODYSSEY COMES RIGHT BACK.

NARRATOR: WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
TO THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

.

NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO
THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

DYLAN: DOWN INDIA'S WESTERN
COAST STRETCHES A NEARLY

1,000-MILE-LONG MOUNTAIN CHAIN
KNOWN AS THE WESTERN GHATS.

IT IS DEEP IN THE SUMMER MONSOON
SEASON.

THE FORESTS HERE ARE HOME TO
MORE THAN 30 PERCENT OF INDIA'S

SPECTACULAR WILDLIFE, INCLUDING
ITS LARGEST SNAKE SPECIES.

THE INDIAN PYTHON CAN BE MORE
THAN TEN FEET LONG.

SHE'S NOT VENOMOUS, BUT SHE CAN
KILL ALMOST ANY ANIMAL

IN THESE MOUNTAINS,

HUNTING IN THE TREES THAT LINE
THE SLOPES.

UP ABOVE IS ONE OF INDIA'S
MOST ENDANGERED

PRIMATES — THE MAGNIFICENT
LION-TAILED MACAQUE.

FEWER THAN 4,000 REMAIN IN THE
WILD.

THEY SPREAD OUT ACROSS THE
MOUNTAIN FOREST SEARCHING FOR

FRUIT.

THIS ALPHA MALE'S MAIN JOB IS TO
WATCH OVER HIS TROOP.

HE'S UNAWARE THAT THEY'RE ALSO
BEING WATCHED.

DISTRACTED MONKEYS
PRESENT OPPORTUNITY.

THE PYTHON IS LARGE ENOUGH TO
BRING DOWN A WILD BOAR.

A LION-TAILED MACAQUE WON'T PUT
UP MUCH OF A FIGHT.

BUT THE ALPHA SEES HER COMING.

THE PYTHON'S COVER IS BLOWN.

THE MACAQUES CAN REFOCUS ON
FORAGING.

AND IN THE WESTERN GHATS, THE
SUMMER MONSOON IS JACKFRUIT

SEASON.

GROWING AT ELEVATIONS OF MORE
THAN 5,000 FEET, THEY'RE THE

LARGEST TREE-BORNE FRUITS IN THE
WORLD.

WEIGHING UP TO 40 POUNDS,

ONE IS ENOUGH TO FEED AN ENTIRE
TROOP OF MACAQUES.

BUT THEY PREFER TO FEED ON THE
RIPEST FRUIT, SO THEY RELY ON AN

UNLIKELY HELPER TO TELL THEM
WHEN A JACKFRUIT

IS READY TO EAT.

A GIANT INDIAN SQUIRREL FORAGES
NEARBY.

SHE HAS A KEEN SENSE OF SMELL
AND CAN EASILY SNIFF OUT RIPE

FRUIT.

THE MACAQUES WATCH HER EVERY
MOVE.

THIS IS WHAT THE TROOP HAS BEEN
WAITING FOR.

THEY SURROUND THE SQUIRREL,
INTIMIDATING IT WITH THEIR

CALLS, READY TO MUSCLE IN AND
STEAL THE FRUIT.

SHE'S FORCED TO SURRENDER.

A SNEAKY AND SUCCESSFUL TACTIC
TO HARVEST THE HEAVILY FAVORED

FOOD IN THIS
MOUNTAIN HABITAT.

COMING UP, HUMANS ARE NOT THE
ONLY ANIMALS WHO DANCE TO

IMPRESS — CHECK OUT THESE MOVES.

AND IT'S SHARKS VERSUS TURTLES:
FANTASTIC COLD-BLOODED CREATURES

ON THE GREAT BARRIER REEF, WHEN
EARTH ODYSSEY RETURNS.

NARRATOR: WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
TO THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

.

NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO
THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

DYLAN: YOU MIGHT NOT THINK OF
SNAKES, LIZARDS,

TURTLES, AND FROGS AS
PARTICULARLY CHARISMATIC,

BUT IT TURNS OUT THESE
COLD-BLOODED CREATURES SPEAK

THEIR OWN KIND OF LOVE LANGUAGE.

LET'S MEET A TINY AMPHIBIAN
WHO'S REALLY GOT THE MOVES.

THE WESTERN GHATS MOUNTAINS IN
INDIA ARE RECOGNIZED AS ONE

OF THE WETTEST PLACES ON EARTH.

AS THE LAND HEATS UP DURING THE
SUMMER, IT PULLS IN WATER-LADEN

AIR FROM THE OCEAN.

TORRENTS OF WATER THEN FALL OVER
THE MOUNTAINS.

THIS MONSOON DRENCHES THE
WESTERN GHATS FOR SIX MONTHS OF

THE YEAR, AND THESE WET
CONDITIONS ARE IDEAL FOR

AMPHIBIANS.

ONE TINY SPECIES FOUND NOWHERE
ELSE HAS CARVED OUT A NICHE

ALONG A MOUNTAIN STREAM.

THIS YOUNG MALE DANCING FROG
LIVES HERE YEAR-ROUND.

AS THE SUMMER MONSOON COMES TO
AN END, HIS CALLS SIGNAL THE

START OF THE BREEDING SEASON.

BUT BEFORE HE CAN SECURE A MATE,
HE MUST ESTABLISH AND DEFEND A

TERRITORY.

HIS BRIGHT WHITE VOCAL SAC HAS
CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF A RIVAL

MALE.

BOTH FROGS ARE JUST UNDER AN
INCH LONG, BUT THERE'S ONLY ROOM

FOR ONE ALONG THIS STRETCH OF
STREAM.

WHO THAT IS WILL BE DECIDED NOT
WITH A FIGHT,

BUT WITH A FLASH DANCE.

FIRST, THE FOOT TAP.

HIS OPPONENT RESPONDS WITH HIS
OWN BEAT.

THE YOUNG MALE DECIDES TO BRING
OUT THE BIG GUNS.

HE STRETCHES HIS HIND LIMB TO
ITS FULL LENGTH,

SPREADING OUT HIS TOES TO
EXPOSE THE FLASHY WEBBING.

IT'S A SHOW OF STRENGTH AND
BREEDING PROWESS.

A FEMALE IS QUIETLY OBSERVING.

NOW THE TWO MALES HAVE AN
AUDIENCE,

SO THERE'S EVEN MORE REASON TO
IMPRESS.

TIME TO TAKE THIS DANCE TO THE
NEXT LEVEL.

DETERMINED NOT TO LOSE THE FIRST
CONTEST OF THE SEASON, THE YOUNG

MALE'S DANCE MOVES GET PHYSICAL.

THE FEMALE LIKES WHAT SHE SEES.

THE YOUNG KING OF THE DANCE
FLOOR HAS SECURED HIS TERRITORY

AND FOUND HIS PARTNER,

PASSING ON HIS WINNING
DANCE MOVES TO

THE NEXT GENERATION.

COMING UP, HOW THIS GARDENER OF
THE SEA KEEPS ITS

CORAL HABITAT BLOOMING.

A LITTLE REEF DIVING WHEN EARTH
ODYSSEY RETURNS.

NARRATOR: WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
TO THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

.

NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO
THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

DYLAN: RUNNING ALONG AUSTRALIA'S
NORTHEASTERN SHORELINE IS

ONE OF THE WORLD'S NATURAL
WONDERS.

THIS IS THE LARGEST CORAL REEF
SYSTEM ON EARTH.

THE GREAT BARRIER REEF.

STRETCHING FOR MORE THAN 1,200
MILES, IT'S THE LARGEST LIVING

STRUCTURE ON EARTH, SO BIG IT'S
EVEN VISIBLE FROM SPACE.

WITH AROUND 9,000 SPECIES LIVING
HERE, EVERY CREATURE PLAYS A

ROLE IN THE FUNCTION OF THIS
DIVERSE HABITAT.

THAT INCLUDES THE ONLY TURTLE
IN THE OCEAN

THAT SURVIVES COMPLETELY ON
PLANTS AS AN ADULT.

THIS GREEN TURTLE IS YOUNG, BUT
SHE'LL GROW UP TO BE

ONE OF THE BIGGEST TURTLES ON
THE PLANET, ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE

WORLD'S OCEANS.

FOR NOW, THE CORAL REEF IS HER
HOME.

AND THIS THRIVING SEA GARDEN IS
IN HER CARE.

GRAZING ON THE SEA FLOOR, SHE
HELPS CONTROL

THE GROWTH OF ALGAE.

SHE'LL EAT ONLY THE TOPS OF THE
PLANTS AND LEAVE THE ROOTS.

THIS ALLOWS THE CORAL TO ACCESS
MORE SUNLIGHT FOR

PHOTOSYNTHESIS, PROMOTING ITS
GROWTH.

AUSTRALIA'S GREAT BARRIER REEF
SUPPORTS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF

GREEN TURTLES.

BUT THERE ARE ALSO MORE THAN 80
SPECIES OF SHARKS LIVING

HERE — MOST OF WHICH HUNT AT
NIGHT.

SHE MUST HIDE BEFORE IT GETS
DARK.

WITH SO MANY TURTLES SHARING THE
REEF, SHELTER IS AT A PREMIUM.

THIS TIME SHE'S IN LUCK — A FREE
CORAL HIDEOUT.

BUT ANOTHER TURTLE IS CLAIMING
THIS SAFE HAVEN, SO SHE'LL NEED

TO FIND NEW ACCOMMODATIONS -
AND FAST.

AS THE SUN BEGINS TO SET, EVERY
HIDING SPOT IS TAKEN.

FINALLY, SHE FINDS ONE.

AND THERE'S ANOTHER CHALLENGER.

BUT THIS TIME, THE YOUNG GREEN
TURTLE HOLDS HER OWN.

STAYING HIDDEN IS VITAL TO
SURVIVING THE NIGHT HERE IN THE

GREAT BARRIER REEF.

BIOLOGISTS SAY THAT COLD-BLOODED
REPTILES EVOLVED INTO

WARM-BLOODED AVIAN DINOSAURS
ABOUT 150 MILLION YEARS AGO.

TODAY, THEY'RE BETTER KNOWN AS
BIRDS.

SO WHO KNOWS WHAT FASCINATING
CREATURES LIE AHEAD

IN OUR FUTURE.

I'M DYLAN DREYER.

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON EARTH
ODYSSEY.
