00:09:40,381 --> 00:09:42,581
SURFACE, COCKROACHES IN
189
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:46,185
THE MILLIONS.
190
00:09:46,186 --> 00:09:48,038
THE GUANO ALONE IS ENOUGH
191
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:49,889
TO FEED THEM, BUT A BAT
192
00:09:49,890 --> 00:09:51,358
THAT LOST ITS FOOTING IS
193
00:09:51,359 --> 00:09:52,826
THE ULTIMATE PRIZE.
194
00:09:55,462 --> 00:09:56,964
AS THE BATS LEAVE THE CAVE
195
00:09:56,965 --> 00:09:58,464
TO FEED AT NIGHT, ANOTHER
196
00:09:58,465 --> 00:09:59,833
SPECIES RETURNS TO
197
00:09:59,834 --> 00:10:01,201
ROOST...
198
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:05,972
...CAVE SWIFTLETS, ONE OF
199
00:10:05,973 --> 00:10:07,506
THE ONLY BIRDS ABLE TO USE
200
00:10:07,507 --> 00:10:09,576
ECHOLOCATION TO NAVIGATE.
201
00:10:16,490 --> 00:10:18,518
- CLINGING TO THE CAVE
- WALLS, THEY METICULOUSLY
202
00:10:18,521 --> 00:10:20,053
BUILD NESTS USING STRANDS
203
00:10:20,054 --> 00:10:21,588
OF THEIR OWN SALIVA.
204
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:27,193
- EACH TINY NEST CAN TAKE
- MORE THAN A MONTH TO
205
00:10:27,196 --> 00:10:28,545
CONSTRUCT, AND IT'S SOME
206
00:10:28,546 --> 00:10:29,895
OF THE MOST VALUABLE REAL
207
00:10:29,896 --> 00:10:31,965
ESTATE IN THE WORLD.
208
00:10:38,705 --> 00:10:40,073
FOR CENTURIES, THESE NESTS
209
00:10:40,074 --> 00:10:41,440
HAVE BEEN PRIZED AS THE
210
00:10:41,441 --> 00:10:43,326
MAIN INGREDIENT OF A
211
00:10:43,327 --> 00:10:45,210
CURIOUS LOCAL DELICACY,
212
00:10:45,211 --> 00:10:48,914
BIRD'S NEST SOUP.
213
00:10:48,915 --> 00:10:51,184
- FEARLESS LOCALS CLIMB MORE
- THAN TWO HUNDRED FEET ON
214
00:10:51,187 --> 00:10:52,719
MAKESHIFT LADDERS TO
215
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,254
COLLECT THE NESTS.
216
00:10:58,324 --> 00:10:59,943
WITH NO SAFETY HARNESSES
217
00:10:59,944 --> 00:11:01,560
OR SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT,
218
00:11:01,561 --> 00:11:03,630
- IT'S INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS
- WORK.
219
00:11:09,302 --> 00:11:10,954
BUT THE REWARDS OUTWEIGH
220
00:11:10,955 --> 00:11:12,604
THE RISKS, AND THESE NESTS

WATER AND THEN SKIP UP ON
227
00:11:23,901 --> 00:11:25,417
LAND.
228
00:11:25,418 --> 00:11:27,153
THAT'S NEXT.

231
00:11:51,378 --> 00:11:52,278
DYLAN: WELCOME BACK.
232
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:53,613
MALAYSIA IS FULL OF
233
00:11:53,614 --> 00:11:54,947
AMAZING HABITATS THAT
234
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:56,199
ALLOW ALL DIFFERENT TYPES
235
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,449
OF FASCINATING CREATURES
236
00:11:57,450 --> 00:11:59,052
TO LIVE IN SUCH CLOSE
237
00:11:59,053 --> 00:12:00,652
PROXIMITY, BUT THERE'S ONE
238
00:12:00,653 --> 00:12:02,655
ECOSYSTEM THAT BRINGS OUT
239
00:12:02,656 --> 00:12:04,656
THE WEIRDEST OF THE WEIRD.
240
00:12:04,657 --> 00:12:05,925
THE MALAYSIAN MANGROVES
241
00:12:05,926 --> 00:12:07,192
ARE HOME TO CREATURES THAT
242
00:12:07,193 --> 00:12:09,029
CAN SWIM, CRAWL, AND
243
00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:10,863
SOMETIMES EVEN DO BOTH AT
244
00:12:10,864 --> 00:12:12,131
THE SAME TIME.
245
00:12:12,132 --> 00:12:14,401
- LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE
- DIVERSE WILDLIFE THAT LIVE
246
00:12:14,404 --> 00:12:16,520
IN THE MANGROVES OF
247
00:12:16,521 --> 00:12:18,637
MALAYSIA.
248
00:12:18,638 --> 00:12:20,189
OF ALL OF MALAYSIA'S
249
00:12:20,190 --> 00:12:21,739
BIZARRE HABITATS, THE
250
00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:23,659
STRANGEST ARE FOUND ON THE
251
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:25,577
COAST.
252
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:27,194
MALAYSIA HAS LOTS OF
253
00:12:27,195 --> 00:12:28,809
COASTLINE ALMOST THREE
254
00:12:28,810 --> 00:12:31,250
THOUSAND MILES LONG.
255
00:12:31,251 --> 00:12:33,620
- SOME OF IT IS FRINGE WITH
- MANGROVES, ONE OF THE
256
00:12:33,623 --> 00:12:34,988
ODDEST ENVIRONMENTS ON
257
00:12:34,989 --> 00:12:36,356
EARTH.
258
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:41,428
- MANGROVES ARE HALFWAY
- POINTS BETWEEN LAND AND
259
00:12:41,431 --> 00:12:46,989
SEA...
260
00:12:46,990 --> 00:12:48,268
- ...EXTREME TIDAL ZONES
- WHERE THE WORLD CHANGES
261
00:12:48,271 --> 00:12:50,270
FROM A SALTWATER SEASCAPE
262
00:12:50,271 --> 00:12:52,271
TO AN EXPOSED MUDFLAT
263
00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:55,207
EVERY SIX HOURS.
264
00:12:55,208 --> 00:12:57,644
- TO WITHSTAND THE CONSTANT
- PUSH AND PULL OF AN EBBING
265
00:12:57,647 --> 00:12:59,079
AND FLOWING TIDE, TREES IN
266
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,512
THE MANGROVE FOREST
267
00:13:00,513 --> 00:13:02,065
DEVELOP A SCAFFOLD OF
268
00:13:02,066 --> 00:13:03,615
ROOTS THAT BRACE AGAINST
269
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:05,918
THE MOVING WATER.
270
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:07,354
AS THE TIDE GOES OUT, A
271
00:13:07,355 --> 00:13:08,787
TOPSY-TURVY WORLD IS
272
00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:10,789
REVEALED.
273
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:12,175
ROOTS GROW UPWARDS, POKING
274
00:13:12,176 --> 00:13:13,559
OUT OF THE WATER-LOGGED
275
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:15,262
SOIL INSTEAD OF STRETCHING
276
00:13:15,263 --> 00:13:16,962
DOWN INTO IT, THE TREES'
277
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:18,331
ONLY CHANCE TO ABSORB
278
00:13:18,332 --> 00:13:19,699
OXYGEN.
279
00:13:23,370 --> 00:13:24,905
AND FISH THINK NOTHING OF
280
00:13:24,906 --> 00:13:26,439
WALKING ON LAND.
281
00:13:29,275 --> 00:13:31,711
A MUDSKIPPER IS PERFECTLY
282
00:13:31,712 --> 00:13:34,146
AT HOME OUT OF WATER.
283
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,516
- IT BREATHES THROUGH ITS
- SKIN AND CARRIES A BUBBLE
284
00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:37,684
OF AIR IN ITS GILL
285
00:13:37,685 --> 00:13:38,851
CHAMBERS LIKE A SCUBA
286
00:13:38,852 --> 00:13:41,253
DIVER'S TANK.
287
00:13:41,254 --> 00:13:42,789
THE RECEDING TIDE TRIGGERS
288
00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:44,324
A FRENZY OF ACTIVITY.
289
00:13:49,596 --> 00:13:51,865
- MUDSKIPPERS EAT
- MICROSCOPIC ORGANISMS THAT
290
00:13:51,868 --> 00:13:53,183
THEY FILTER OUT OF THE
291
00:13:53,184 --> 00:13:54,500
MUD.
292
00:13:54,501 --> 00:13:56,603
THEY CAN ONLY FEED WHEN
293
00:13:56,604 --> 00:13:58,704
THE MUD IS EXPOSED.
294
00:13:58,705 --> 00:13:59,973
AT HIGH TIDE, THEY RETREAT
295
00:13:59,974 --> 00:14:01,240
INTO BURROWS TO STAY OUT
296
00:14:01,241 --> 00:14:02,976
OF THE WAY OF PREDATORY
297
00:14:02,977 --> 00:14:04,710
FISH.
298
00:14:04,711 --> 00:14:07,147
- AND WITH JUST A FEW HOURS
- BEFORE THE SEA FLOODS BACK
299
00:14:07,150 --> 00:14:08,665
AGAIN, IT'S EVERY
300
00:14:08,666 --> 00:14:10,183
MUDSKIPPER FOR HIMSELF.
301
00:14:13,219 --> 00:14:15,121
- DISAGREEMENTS OVER GRAZING
- RIGHTS CAN LEAD TO
302
00:14:15,124 --> 00:14:17,190
DISPUTES WITH NEIGHBORS.
303
00:14:26,299 --> 00:14:27,634
MUDSKIPPERS SEEM TO HAVE
304
00:14:27,635 --> 00:14:28,967
PULLED OFF THE IMPOSSIBLE.
305
00:14:28,968 --> 00:14:30,303
WALKING IS SURELY THE
306
00:14:30,304 --> 00:14:31,637
ULTIMATE ACHIEVEMENT FOR A
307
00:14:31,638 --> 00:14:34,199
FISH, BUT THERE ARE SOME
308
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,759
DEFINITE DISADVANTAGES TO
309
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,813
LIFE ON LAND.
310
00:14:40,814 --> 00:14:42,049
THEY'RE PERHAPS THE ONLY
311
00:14:42,050 --> 00:14:43,282
FISH IN THE WORLD TO BE
312
00:14:43,283 --> 00:14:45,352
BUGGED BY MOSQUITOES.
313
00:14:52,425 --> 00:14:54,361
- COMING UP WHEN "EARTH
- ODYSSEY" RETURNS, WE
314
00:14:54,364 --> 00:14:55,562
EXPLORE WHY THE
315
00:14:55,563 --> 00:14:56,762
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
316
00:14:56,763 --> 00:14:58,298
MUDSKIPPERS AND THIS TINY
317
00:14:58,299 --> 00:14:59,833
CRAB IS ALWAYS IN TUNE.
318
00:15:05,472 --> 00:15:10,243
.

00:15:11,970 --> 00:15:13,460
MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC
321
00:15:25,692 --> 00:15:27,827
- DYLAN: WELCOME BACK TO THE
- COASTLINE OF MALAYSIA,
322
00:15:27,830 --> 00:15:30,297
WHERE A TINY CRUSTACEAN
323
00:15:30,298 --> 00:15:32,765
SEEMINGLY RULES.
324
00:15:32,766 --> 00:15:34,223
PICKING THEIR WAY THROUGH
325
00:15:34,224 --> 00:15:35,679
THE MUDSKIPPER MELEE,
326
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,243
FIDDLER CRABS ALSO MAKE
327
00:15:37,244 --> 00:15:38,805
USE OF LOW TIDE TO FEED.
328
00:15:42,342 --> 00:15:43,910
MALES USE THEIR OVERSIZED
329
00:15:43,911 --> 00:15:45,477
CLAWS TO ATTRACT FEMALES
330
00:15:45,478 --> 00:15:46,730
AND FIGHT OFF RIVALS, BUT
331
00:15:46,731 --> 00:15:47,980
THEY'RE A BIT OF A
332
00:15:47,981 --> 00:15:49,911
HINDERANCE WHEN IT COMES
333
00:15:49,912 --> 00:15:51,839
TO EATING.
334
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,297
THEY HAVE ONLY ONE HAND
335
00:15:53,298 --> 00:15:54,754
FREE TO COLLECT FOOD.
336
00:15:58,910 --> 00:16:00,069
SMALL-CLAWED FEMALES CAN
337
00:16:00,070 --> 00:16:01,226
FEED TWICE AS FAST.
338
00:16:01,227 --> 00:16:03,496
- SIFTING THROUGH SEDIMENT,
- SHE SWALLOWS ANYTHING
339
00:16:03,499 --> 00:16:04,864
EDIBLE AND SPITS OUT THE
340
00:16:04,865 --> 00:16:06,232
DREGS.
341
00:16:09,369 --> 00:16:10,637
CRABS AND MUDSKIPPERS
342
00:16:10,638 --> 00:16:11,904
COMPETE FOR FOOD, BUT ARE
343
00:16:11,905 --> 00:16:13,774
NO REAL THREAT TO EACH
344
00:16:13,775 --> 00:16:15,642
OTHER; HOWEVER, THERE ARE
345
00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:19,512
- ANIMALS HERE THAT WOULD
- HAPPILY MAKE A MEAL OF
346
00:16:19,515 --> 00:16:21,847
EITHER.
347
00:16:21,848 --> 00:16:24,250
- AN OTTER'S WEBBED FEET AND
- SHARP CLAWS ARE THE
348
00:16:24,253 --> 00:16:26,395
PERFECT WEAPONS FOR
349
00:16:26,396 --> 00:16:28,540
SNARING SLIPPERY FISH.
350
00:16:34,194 --> 00:16:35,512
AND FLAT BACK TEETH ARE
351
00:16:35,513 --> 00:16:36,829
IDEAL FOR BREAKING CRAB
352
00:16:36,830 --> 00:16:41,433
SHELLS.
353
00:16:41,434 --> 00:16:43,067
BUT BOTH POTENTIAL VICTIMS
354
00:16:43,068 --> 00:16:44,699
HAVE EVOLVED EYES ON THE
355
00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:46,120
TOPS OF THEIR HEADS,
356
00:16:46,121 --> 00:16:47,539
GIVING THEM A PANORAMIC
357
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:49,609
VIEW OF THE WORLD.
358
00:16:55,810 --> 00:16:56,783
- THEY SCOOT TO SAFETY AT
- THE FIRST GLIMPSE OF
359
00:16:56,786 --> 00:16:58,518
DANGER.
360
00:17:15,201 --> 00:17:16,886
AS NIGHT FALLS, THESE
361
00:17:16,887 --> 00:17:18,570
BIZARRE MANGROVE WOODLANDS
362
00:17:18,571 --> 00:17:20,640
GET EVEN STRANGER.
363
00:17:26,460 --> 00:17:27,788
THEY'RE TRANSFORMED INTO A
364
00:17:27,789 --> 00:17:29,115
FLICKERING FAIRY LAND.
365
00:17:31,751 --> 00:17:33,470
EACH OF THESE TINY LIGHTS
366
00:17:33,471 --> 00:17:35,187
IS A MESSAGE, A CODED LOVE
367
00:17:35,188 --> 00:17:36,556
LETTER BEAMED INTO THE
368
00:17:36,557 --> 00:17:37,924
ETHER.
369
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:42,729
FIREFLIES, GATHERING
370
00:17:42,730 --> 00:17:44,597
TOGETHER IN THE THOUSANDS.
371
00:17:46,466 --> 00:17:47,801
MALES TWINKLE IN

00:18:05,903 --> 00:18:07,152
PERFORMANCE IS SERIOUS
380
00:18:07,153 --> 00:18:11,757
BUSINESS.
381
00:18:11,758 --> 00:18:13,243
LIGHT IS PRODUCED IN THEIR
382
00:18:13,244 --> 00:18:14,727
ABDOMENS, THE RESULT OF A
383
00:18:14,728 --> 00:18:16,213
REACTION BETWEEN OXYGEN
384
00:18:16,214 --> 00:18:17,696
AND A CHEMICAL CALLED
385
00:18:17,697 --> 00:18:20,329
LUCIFERIN.
386
00:18:20,330 --> 00:18:22,702

389
00:18:25,206 --> 00:18:26,472
COLD, SO THE BEETLES LOSE

- ONE FLASHING LIGHT IN THE
- DARKNESS WOULD BE EASY TO
397
00:18:43,893 --> 00:18:45,792
