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

WATCHING TELEVISION THAT IS
EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL.

THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

DYLAN: HI, EVERYONE, I'M DYLAN
DREYER.

GET READY FOR AN EPIC ADVENTURE
AROUND THE GLOBE.

THIS IS "EARTH ODYSSEY".

TODAY, WE'RE HEADED TO THE
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE TO EXPLORE

THE UNIQUE REGIONS BELOW THE
EQUATOR.

IN AFRICA, THIS CHAMELEON KNOWS
A MOUTHWATERING WAY TO BEAT

THE HEAT.

WE'LL SEE HOW THE ISLANDS OF NEW
ZEALAND ARE HOME TO THE BEST

DRESSED BIRDS AROUND.

PLUS, THIS SEA CREATURE HAS A
UNIQUE WAY OF MAKING ITS

PRESENCE FELT.

BUT FIRST, WE DISCOVER AN ANIMAL
THAT HAS QUITE A FEW LEGS UP ON

THE COMPETITION.

ALL THIS AND MORE COMING UP ON
"EARTH ODYSSEY".

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE
MAKES UP HALF OF THE EARTH'S

TOTAL SURFACE AREA, BUT ONLY
ABOUT 32 PERCENT OF OUR PLANET'S

LAND MASS.

WELL, WHAT IT LACKS IN LAND, IT
MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR WITH

WILDLIFE.

THE ECOSYSTEMS SOUTH OF THE
EQUATOR HOST SOME OF THE MOST

INCREDIBLE ANIMAL WONDERS IN THE
WORLD, WHERE EVEN IN THE

SMALLEST TIDE POOLS, YOU CAN
FIND BREATHTAKING BEASTS.

IN THE ANIMAL WORLD, IMAGE CAN
BE EVERYTHING.

AMONG THE OCEAN'S COUNTLESS
SPECIES, MANY SEEK TO STAND OUT

WITH THEIR STRIKING LOOKS.

BUT OTHERS USE THEIR APPEARANCE
TO STAY OUT OF SIGHT.

AS THE TIDE GOES OUT ALONG THE
SOUTH AFRICAN COAST, VAST ROCK

POOLS BEGIN TO EMERGE.

THE RETREATING WAVES LEAVE
BEHIND COUNTLESS SEA CREATURES,

NOW TRAPPED IN THE POOLS.

THEY COME IN ALL SHAPES AND
SIZES AND MOST RELY ON THE ROCKS

AND CREVICES TO HOLE UP UNTIL
THE TIDE RETURNS.

BUT ONE IS HIDING IN PLAIN
SIGHT.

THE OCTOPUS IS A MASTER OF
CAMOUFLAGE.

THE COLOR AND TEXTURE OF ITS
SKIN CAN QUICKLY CHANGE TO MATCH

ITS SURROUNDINGS.

AN ESSENTIAL ADAPTATION FOR
AVOIDING PREDATORS.

BUT ALSO, AMBUSHING PREY.

THIS FEMALE IS ON THE LOOKOUT
FOR ANY CRABS UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH

TO SHARE THE SAME ROCK POOL AS
HER.

SHE JETS HERSELF AT SPEEDS UP TO
25 MILES PER HOUR, BY RAPIDLY

DRAWING WATER INTO HER MANTLE
AND EXPELLING IT THROUGH A

TUBE-LIKE SIPHON.

AND HER LACK OF BONES ENABLES
HER TO FIT IN EXTREMELY SMALL

SPACES.

THERE'S NOWHERE TO HIDE FROM
THIS RELENTLESS PREDATOR.

BEFORE LONG, SHE'S CLEANED OUT
THE ROCK POOL, BUT SHE'S STILL

HUNGRY.

IT WILL BE HOURS BEFORE THE TIDE
COMES IN.

LUCKILY, THE OCTOPUS HAS ANOTHER
EVEN MORE UNUSUAL ABILITY TO

HELP AVOID THE WAIT.

CLIMBING OUT OF THE WATER,
POWERFUL TENTACLES HELP HER

MANEUVER ACROSS THE ROCKS AND
SHELLS.

SHE KNOWS THAT THE NEARBY POOLS
STILL HAVE PLENTY TO OFFER.

NOTHING WILL COME BETWEEN THIS
EXTRAORDINARY PREDATOR AND HER

PREY.

THE OCTOPUS IS HAPPY BEING A
FISH OUT OF WATER.

BUT SOMETIMES CREATURES APPEAR
SO OUT OF PLACE IT SEEMS NATURE

HAS MADE A MISTAKE.

HERE IN THE HEART OF SOUTH
AMERICA, AMID THE FLOODED

FORESTS OF THE RIO NEGRO LIVES
ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST UNUSUAL

CREATURES.

THE SLOTH.

IT MIGHT HAVE A UNIQUE
APPEARANCE BUT IT'S NOT JUST ITS

FEATURES THAT SET IT APART.

SLOTHS ARE ALSO THE SLOWEST
MAMMALS ON EARTH.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THIS THREE-TOED SLOTH
TRAVELS AT A TOP SPEED OF SIX

AND A HALF FEET PER MINUTE
THROUGH THE TREES.

HE'S SO SEDENTARY THAT ALGAE
GROWS ON HIS FURRY COAT, GIVING

HIM A GREENISH TINT, WHICH IS
USEFUL CAMOUFLAGE IN THE CANOPY.

HE'S BUILT FOR LIFE IN THE
TREETOPS, SPENDING NEARLY ALL

HIS TIME HANGING FROM THE
BRANCHES WITH A POWERFUL GRIP,

AIDED BY HIS LONG CLAWS.

BUT HEAVY RAIN BEGINS TO FALL
ACROSS THE AMAZON AND THE SPRING

FLOODWATERS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN
TO RISE.

THOUSANDS OF SQUARE MILES OF
RAINFORESTS ARE EVENTUALLY

FLOODED.

AND DESPITE THE DANGERS, HE'S
BEEN FORCED TO BRAVE THE WATERS

IN SEARCH OF A NEW HOME.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: A SLOTH MAY BE SLOW AND
CUMBERSOME IN THE TREES, BUT

THEY'RE SURPRISINGLY CAPABLE
SWIMMERS.

DUE TO THEIR INCREDIBLY SLOW
DIGESTIVE RATE, ALL SLOTHS BOAST

AN ENORMOUS MULTICHAMBERED
STOMACH.

THIS BIG BAG OF FERMENTING
LEAVES CREATES A LOT OF GAS,

ACTING AS A GIANT FLOTATION
DEVICE.

AND THE LONG ARMS MAKE EFFECTIVE
PADDLES.

HE MOVES THREE TIMES FASTER THAN
ON LAND.

BUT NOT FAST ENOUGH TO GO
UNNOTICED.

THE GREEN ANACONDA IS A
FORMIDABLE AMAZON PREDATOR.

OFTEN CATCHING LARGE CAPYBARA
AND THE OCCASIONAL CAYMAN.

SO A VULNERABLE SLOTH IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TOO GOOD TO MISS.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: FINALLY, HE MAKES IT TO
A SUITABLE TREE AND MAKES THE

LONG CLIMB TO SAFETY.

COMING UP, WE HEAD TO NEW
ZEALAND WHERE A PECULIAR PENGUIN

SPECIES HAS TRADED LIFE ON THE
ICE FOR LIFE IN THE TREES.

AND LATER, THIS STINGING
SENSATION HAS A CREATIVE WAY TO

FIND A MEAL.

THEN IT'S OFF TO THE DESERT
WHERE A CLEVER CHAMELEON SHAKES

OFF THE HEAT FROM LOCAL
PREDATORS.

ALL WHEN WE RETURN TO "EARTH
ODYSSEY".

.

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

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE RUGGED COAST OF THE
SNARES ISLANDS, NEW ZEALAND.

HOME TO A VERY SPECIAL COLONY OF
BIRDS.

SNARES PENGUINS.

SNARES PENGUINS MAY BE BUILT FOR
A LIFE AT SEA, BUT THIS COLONY

HAS CARVED A UNIQUE EXISTENCE ON
THESE FORESTED ISLANDS.

AFTER A BUSY DAY CATCHING FISH,
THIS FEMALE IS ON HER WAY BACK

TO HER NEST TO FEED HER YOUNG.

BUT THIS PENGUIN'S DAILY COMMUTE
IS NO ORDINARY JOURNEY.

THE FIRST THINGS SHE MUST
OVERCOME IS A SHEER ROCK FACE.

DESPITE HAVING NO ARMS, PENGUINS
ARE SURPRISINGLY GOOD CLIMBERS.

BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET.

NOW, SHE MUST VENTURE INTO
HIGHLY UNUSUAL TERRITORY,

ESPECIALLY FOR A PENGUIN.

HER HOME IS HIDDEN DEEP IN THIS
FOREST.

THESE PENGUINS HAVE ESTABLISHED
A LARGE COLONY AMONGST THE

TREES, WHERE THEY CAN FIND
SHELTER AND BUILD THEIR NESTS.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THIS SECRET WORLD
PROVIDES A SAFE PLACE TO RAISE

THEIR YOUNG, AWAY FROM THE
DANGERS OF THE COAST.

BUT HER JOURNEY IS STILL NOT
OVER.

SHE FINDS HER WAY THROUGH THE
MAZE OF WELL-WORN PATHS.

REMEMBERING EVERY TWIST AND
TURN.

SHE'S FINALLY MADE IT.

AFTER WADDLING MORE THAN HALF A
MILE INLAND, SHE REACHES THE

FOREST CLEARING WHERE HER
PARTNER AND CHICK AWAIT.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: AFTER HER EPIC JOURNEY,
SHE'S FINALLY HOME.

AND SOMEONE IS VERY PLEASED TO
SEE HER.

SHE MUST MAKE THIS TRIP EVERYDAY
FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

BUT IT'S A SMALL PRICE TO PAY
FOR THIS SAFE HAVEN IN THE

FOREST.

COMING UP, WE HEAD TO THE COAST
OF SOUTH AFRICA WHERE THE WORLD

UNDER THE WAVES IS AS WILD AS
ANY ON LAND.

AND THIS CHAMELEON KNOWS JUST
WHAT TO WEAR TO BLEND IN.

ALL OF THIS AND MORE WHEN WE
RETURN TO "EARTH ODYSSEY".

.

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

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE COUNTRIES IN THE
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE HAVE MUCH

MORE MILD CLIMATES THAN THOSE IN
THE NORTH.

THESE TEMPERATE ENVIRONMENTS
MEAN THERE ARE MORE LUSH AND

DIVERSE ANIMAL COMMUNITIES.

BUT THIS BIODIVERSITY DOESN'T
STOP AT THE WATER'S EDGE.

THE MILD CLIMATES AFFECT LIFE IN
THE WATER, TOO.

EXPLAINING WHY SO MANY OF THE
MAGNIFICENT CORAL REEFS, LIKE

THE ONE WE'RE ABOUT TO EXPLORE
ARE FOUND SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR.

OFF THE COAST OF SOUTH AFRICA IS
THE SODWANA REEF SYSTEM.

IT'S HOME TO A SEA
CREATURE WITH AN UNCONVENTIONAL

ADAPTATION.

WITH MORE THAN 1,000 SPECIES OF
FISH, THIS REEF IS ONE OF THE

HEALTHIEST AND MOST DIVERSE IN
EXISTENCE.

BUT SPACE IS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER
IN THIS OVERCROWDED ECOSYSTEM

AND DANGER CAN COME FROM ANY
DIRECTION, SO ONE REEF RESIDENT

HAS HAD TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
WHEN CHOOSING A HOME.

ACROSS THE CORALS, VAST COLONIES
OF ANEMONES SWAY WITH THE

CURRENT.

THEY MAY BE SIMPLE SEA
CREATURES, BUT THEY ARE FAR FROM

HARMLESS.

HUNGRY FISH MIGHT BE TEMPTED BY
THEIR ALLURING, SOFT TENTACLES,

BUT THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH WILL
TRIGGER THEM, FIRING A

HARPOONLIKE FILAMENT INTO THEIR
PREY.

INJECTING A PARALYZING
NEUROTOXIN.

THE HELPLESS VICTIM IS THEN
GUIDED INTO THE MOUTH BY THE

TENTACLES, TO MEET A GRISLY END.

MOST SEA CREATURES KNOW TO GIVE
THE ANEMONES A WIDE BERTH.

BUT ONE SPECIES CHOOSES TO
IGNORE THE WARNING SIGNS.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: UNLIKE ALL OTHER FISH ON
THE REEF, THESE CLOWNFISH DON'T

APPEAR TO BE FAZED BY THE
STINGING TENTACLES.

IN FACT, THEY'RE COMPLETELY
IMMUNE TO THE TOXINS THE

ANEMONES PRODUCE, THANKS TO A
MUCUS LAYER COVERING THEIR

BODIES.

CONSEQUENTIALLY, THEY HAVE
DEVELOPED A UNIQUE SYMBIOTIC

RELATIONSHIP.

THEY REMOVE ANY PARASITES AND
DRIVE AWAY INTRUDERS FROM THEIR

HOME, WHILE THE ANEMONE PROVIDES
SHELTER FOR THE CLOWNFISH, AS

WELL AS PROTECTION FROM THEIR
PREDATORS.

IT'S AN UNUSUAL ALLIANCE BUT ONE
WHERE BOTH PARTIES REAP THE

BENEFITS.

IN THIS TIME, FEMALES WILL LAY
UP TO 1,000 EGGS NEARBY AND THE

MALE WILL STAND GUARD UNTIL THEY
HATCH.

THANKS TO THEIR EXTRAORDINARY
IMMUNITY, THEIR YOUNG WILL GROW

UP IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND
EVENTUALLY FIND ANEMONES OF

THEIR OWN TO CALL HOME.

COMING UP, WE SCOUR THE AFRICAN
DESERT IN SEARCH OF ONE OF THE

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE'S HIDE AND
SEEK SPECIALISTS WHEN WE RETURN

ON "EARTH ODYSSEY".

.

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

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE COASTAL DESERT OF
NAMIB.

CHARACTERIZED BY TOWERING RED
SAND DUNES.

MANY BELIEVE IT'S THE WORLD'S
OLDEST DESERT.

ALTHOUGH, IT DOESN'T HAVE THE
ABUNDANCE OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS

FOUND IN OTHER PARTS OF THE
CONTINENT, THE NAMIB STILL

BOASTS AN IMPRESSIVE VARIETY OF
LIFE.

SPECIALLY ADAPTED ELEPHANTS AND
CRITICALLY ENDANGERED BLACK

RHINOS ROAM THE DESOLATE
LANDSCAPE.

BUT ONE OF THE NAMIB'S MOST
INGENIOUS ANIMAL ODDITIES IS A

FAR SMALLER CREATURE.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE NAMAQUA CHAMELEON.

UNLIKE OTHER CHAMELEONS, HE'S
TRADED LIFE IN THE TREES FOR

LIFE ON THE DUNES.

AND HAS EVOLVED SEVERAL UNIQUE
ADAPTATIONS TO ADJUST TO THE

ENVIRONMENT.

WHILE MOST CHAMELEONS CHANGE
COLOR FOR THREAT DISPLAYS,

COURTSHIP, AND CAMOUFLAGE, THE
NAMAQUA USES THIS ABILITY TO

HELP REGULATE HIS TEMPERATURE,
BY ABSORBING THE HEAT OF THE

DAY.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: AND CHANGING TO A
LIGHTER COLOR REFLECTS THE SUN'S

RAYS WHEN HE NEEDS TO COOL DOWN.

THIS GIVES THE CHAMELEON A
UNIQUE ADVANTAGE OVER OTHER

DESERT ANIMALS.

HE'S ALSO THE ONLY CHAMELEON
ABLE TO SPREAD HIS TOES APART.

OTHER SPECIES HAVE THEIR TOES
FUSED TOGETHER LIKE TONGS, TO

HELP GRIP ONTO BRANCHES IN THE
FOREST.

BUT THIS IS A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT WAY OF LIFE.

THE DETACHED TOES GIVE HIM THE
ABILITY TO MOVE ACROSS THE FLAT

OPEN GROUND, AN ESSENTIAL TRAIT
IF HE IS TO HAVE ANY CHANCE OF

AVOIDING DESERT PREDATORS.

INCLUDING HAWKS AND EAGLES.

THANKFULLY, IT'S JUST A HARMLESS
DUNE LARK.

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT THIS
TIME.

NAMAQUA CHAMELEONS DEPEND ON A
DIET OF DESERT INSECTS.

SO, THIS PASSING BEETLE IS
EXACTLY WHAT HE IS LOOKING FOR.

HIS FAST LEGS ALLOW HIM TO CHASE
DOWN THE INSECT AND EVENTUALLY

GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO STRIKE.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THIS CHAMELEON CAN HUNT
DOWN AS MANY AS 200 BEETLES IN A

SINGLE DAY.

NOT BAD FOR A SPECIES USUALLY
ASSOCIATED WITH MOVING LAZILY

THROUGH THE TREES.

THE CHAMELEON'S UNIQUE
ADAPTATIONS HELP IT SURVIVE IN

THE SCORCHING HEAT OF THE NAMIB
DESERT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US
ON OUR JOURNEY THROUGH THE

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.

THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE GLOBE
IS FULL OF THE REMOTE,

MYSTERIOUS, AND UNDISCOVERED
REGIONS THAT HAVE CAPTURED

MANKIND'S CURIOSITY FOR
CENTURIES.

AND I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN ME AGAIN
TO EXPLORE SOME MORE NEXT TIME

ON "EARTH ODYSSEY".

[MUSIC]
