00:12:53,807 --> 00:12:57,775
ITS LEAVES ARE COVERED WITH
TENTACLES, WHOSE TIPS LOOK LIKE
171
00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:59,310
DROPS OF DEW.
172
00:13:01,013 --> 00:13:04,649
THESE DROPS GIVE THE PLANT ITS
NAME, THE SUN DEW.
173
00:13:06,652 --> 00:13:11,188
ITS SMELL AND APPEARANCE ARE
IRRESISTABLE FOR MANY INSECTS.
174
00:13:11,657 --> 00:13:15,960
BUT ITS SURFACE IS EXTREMELY
STICKY AND BECOMES A DEATH-TRAP.
175
00:13:16,630 --> 00:13:20,030
INSECTS, ATTRACTED BY THE
PROMISE OF NECTAR, ARE STUCK,
176
00:13:20,232 --> 00:13:22,100
UNABLE TO BREAK FREE.
177
00:13:28,207 --> 00:13:31,843
AS TIME PASSES, THE SUN DEW
TIGHTENS ITS GRIP.
178
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:35,613
THEN THE PLANT'S DIGESTIVE
ENZYMES TURN THE INSECT INTO A
179
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:37,248
NUTRIENT-RICH MEAL.
180
00:13:40,553 --> 00:13:44,155
WITHOUT THIS CARNIVOROUS DIET,
THE SUN DEWS WOULD NOT SURVIVE
181
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:47,659
ON THESE POOR, ROCKY MOUNTAIN
SOILS.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC, BIRDS CHIRPING]
183
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:56,868
SMALL RIVERS AND THEIR
SURROUNDING VEGETATION FORM THE
184
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:59,871
PERFECT HABITATS FOR MANY
SPECIES OF BIRD.
185
00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:06,110
THEY ARE PERFECT SITES FOR
BREEDING, AS WATER AND FOOD ARE

THIS IS A BLACK KITE'S NEST.
189
00:14:21,327 --> 00:14:23,428
KITES ARE MIGRATORY BIRDS.
190
00:14:25,264 --> 00:14:28,666
THEY SPEND THE WINTERS IN AFRICA
AND MIGRATE TO EUROPE DURING

SPRING AND SUMMER TO NEST.
192

THE IBERIAN PENINSULA IS HOME TO
THE LARGEST BLACK KITE COLONY IN

EUROPE.
194
00:14:40,946 --> 00:14:44,816
TO FEED HER CHICK, THIS MOTHER
MUST TRAVEL GREAT DISTANCES.
195
00:14:50,423 --> 00:14:53,557
THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME
GLIDING, USING HOT AIR CURRENTS

WHILE CRUISING THE LANDSCAPE IN
SEARCH OF FOOD.
197
00:14:57,497 --> 00:15:01,532
BUT ONE THING'S FOR SURE; THIS
MOM WILL DO EVERYTHING SHE CAN
198
00:15:01,534 --> 00:15:03,968
TO BRING UP SUPPER FOR HER
CHICK.

SALMON IS TOP OF MIND.

THEIR BIRTHPLACE TO SPAWN.
210
00:15:55,221 --> 00:15:58,422
THIS RIVER MAKES UP ONE OF THE
MANY NATURAL BORDERS BETWEEN

PORTUGAL AND SPAIN.
212
00:16:01,161 --> 00:16:04,729
IT BEGINS IN SPAIN AND RUNS
THROUGH THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.
213
00:16:05,898 --> 00:16:09,033
AND IT IS IN THESE WATERS THAT
WE CAN FIND ONE OF THE MOST
214
00:16:09,035 --> 00:16:11,135
FASCINATING RIVER CREATURES...
215
00:16:12,238 --> 00:16:13,471
THE LAMPREY.

00:16:15,641 --> 00:16:18,142
THIS INDIVIDUAL IS NEARING THE
END OF HIS LIFE.
217
00:16:19,379 --> 00:16:22,947
HIS BODY IS A TESTIMONY TO THE
EXHAUSTING ODYSSEY HE RECENTLY
218
00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:23,848
UNDERTOOK.
219
00:16:28,989 --> 00:16:32,857
LIKE SALMON, THE LAMPREY IS A
MIGRATORY SPECIES.
220
00:16:33,059 --> 00:16:35,293
HE WAS BORN IN FRESH WATER.
221
00:16:37,063 --> 00:16:40,464
WHILE HE WAS STILL A LARVAE, HE
FED ON DEBRIS AND PLANKTON ON
222
00:16:40,466 --> 00:16:41,732
THE RIVERBED.
223
00:16:41,934 --> 00:16:44,935
BUT AFTER A FEW YEARS, HE
UNDERWENT A METAMORPHOSIS AND
224
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:46,470
MIGRATED TO THE SEA.

GOAL: TO SPAWN.

AFTER RETURNING TO THIS RIVER,
THE MALE HAS STOPPED EATING.

HE NOW LIVES EXCLUSIVELY ON HIS
FAT RESERVES.
