00:08:03,116 --> 00:08:05,302
USING BARBED HOOKS ON ITS
189
00:08:05,303 --> 00:08:07,486
REAR.
190
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:10,204
WHAT HAPPENS NOW IS A
191
00:08:10,205 --> 00:08:12,919
BIOLOGICAL MIRACLE.
192
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,627
- ENZYMES DIGEST THE
- CATERPILLAR'S TISSUE,
193
00:08:14,630 --> 00:08:16,146
EFFECTIVELY LIQUIDIZING
194
00:08:16,147 --> 00:08:17,664
ITS INSIDES.
195
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:21,835
THE CATERPILLAR SLOWLY
196
00:08:21,836 --> 00:08:23,235
SHEDS ITS SKIN TO REVEAL A
197
00:08:23,236 --> 00:08:25,271
GOLDEN CHRYSALIS.
198
00:08:29,809 --> 00:08:31,828
AT FIRST, THE CHRYSALIS IS
199
00:08:31,829 --> 00:08:33,847
SOFT AND SKIN-LIKE.
200
00:08:36,490 --> 00:08:39,015
BUT IT QUICKLY TOUGHENS TO
201
00:08:39,016 --> 00:08:41,540
FORM A PROTECTIVE COCOON.
202
00:08:41,821 --> 00:08:43,757
- IN THE SAFETY OF ITS
- HARDENED HOME, IT WAITS
203
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,276
FOR CELLS IN ITS LIQUID
204
00:08:46,277 --> 00:08:48,795
CENTER TO SLOWLY CHANGE.
205
00:08:52,132 --> 00:08:54,933
TWO WEEKS PASS.
206
00:08:54,934 --> 00:08:57,103
- THE CATERPILLAR IS NOW
- READY FOR THE FINAL STAGE
207
00:08:57,106 --> 00:08:59,122
OF A MIRACULOUS
208
00:08:59,123 --> 00:09:01,141
TRANSFORMATION.
209
00:09:05,178 --> 00:09:06,813
- ONE OF THE PHILIPPINES'
- MOST SPECTACULAR
210
00:09:06,816 --> 00:09:08,348
BUTTERFLIES, THE TREE
211
00:09:08,349 --> 00:09:09,882
NYMPH SLOWLY ENTERS THE
212
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:11,918
WORLD.
213
00:09:18,725 --> 00:09:19,993
FREE OF ITS CRAMPED
214
00:09:19,994 --> 00:09:21,260
COCOON, IT GENTLY PUFFS UP
215
00:09:21,261 --> 00:09:26,319
ITS PAPERY WINGS.
216
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,268
- ITS FRAGILE BODY SLOWLY
- DRIES IN THE WARM
217
00:09:28,271 --> 00:09:30,360
SUNSHINE.
218
00:09:40,347 --> 00:09:41,865
FINALLY, IT'S TIME FOR ITS
219
00:09:41,866 --> 00:09:43,383
FIRST FLIGHT.
220
00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:49,206
BUT FREEDOM IS
221
00:09:49,207 --> 00:09:50,223
SHORT-LIVED.
222
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:56,613
AN ORB WEAVER SPIDER
223
00:09:56,614 --> 00:09:57,964
STRIKES.
224
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:02,219
ITS WEB IS MORE THAN THREE
225
00:10:02,220 --> 00:10:03,736
FEET WIDE AND ALMOST
226
00:10:03,737 --> 00:10:05,772
INVISIBLE.
227
00:10:09,420 --> 00:10:11,400
THE OUTCOME SEEMS
228
00:10:11,401 --> 00:10:13,379
INEVITABLE, BUT ALL IS NOT
229
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:16,159
WHAT IT SEEMS.
230
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,118
- SOMETHING ABOUT THE
- BUTTERFLY DOESN'T TASTE
231
00:10:18,121 --> 00:10:20,153
QUITE RIGHT.
232
00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:28,461
ONE LAST LOOK, AND THE
233
00:10:28,462 --> 00:10:29,628
SPIDER CUTS ITS CAPTIVE
234
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:33,165
FREE.
235
00:10:33,166 --> 00:10:34,267
THE TOXINS FROM THE
236
00:10:34,268 --> 00:10:35,367
DOGBANE PLANT THE
237
00:10:35,368 --> 00:10:36,874
BUTTERFLY ATE WHEN IT WAS
238
00:10:36,875 --> 00:10:38,379
A CATERPILLAR HAVE SAVED
239
00:10:38,380 --> 00:10:40,639
ITS LIFE.
240
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,659
IT'S COMPLETELY
241
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:44,678
UNPALATABLE TO THE SPIDER.
242
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:49,883
- THIS INGENIOUS TRICK HAS
- EARNED THE TREE NYMPH
243
00:10:49,886 --> 00:10:51,401
ANOTHER NAME, THE LUCKY
244
00:10:51,402 --> 00:10:52,919
BUTTERFLY.
245
00:10:56,589 --> 00:10:58,625
- THE ORB WEAVER IS LEFT
- WAITING FOR A MORE
246
00:10:58,628 --> 00:11:00,660
APPETIZING CATCH.
247
00:11:01,895 --> 00:11:03,268
COMING UP NEXT, THERE'S
248
00:11:03,269 --> 00:11:04,639
ALWAYS SOMETHING FUN TO
249
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,865
- EXPLORE IN THE
- PHILIPPINES, SO DON'T
250
00:11:05,868 --> 00:11:07,217
BLINK OR YOU MIGHT MISS
251
00:11:07,218 --> 00:11:08,567
SOMETHING.
252
00:11:08,568 --> 00:11:10,036
AND LATER, WE DISCOVER THE
253
00:11:10,037 --> 00:11:11,503
FAST TIMES OF THE LIFE OF
254
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:13,540
AN AMAZONIAN SLOTH.
255
00:11:17,410 --> 00:11:22,282
.
256
00:11:22,449 --> 00:11:24,984
- NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO THE
- MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC
257
00:11:37,970 --> 00:11:38,198
DYLAN: WELCOME BACK.
258
00:11:38,199 --> 00:11:39,466
THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL INSECT
259
00:11:39,467 --> 00:11:40,733
THAT CAN LIGHT UP ANY
260
00:11:40,734 --> 00:11:42,935
NIGHT SKY, THE FIREFLY.
261
00:11:42,936 --> 00:11:44,254
SOME ADULT FIREFLIES
262
00:11:44,255 --> 00:11:45,571
AROUND THE WORLD DON'T
263
00:11:45,572 --> 00:11:46,940
LIGHT UP, BUT IN THE
264
00:11:46,941 --> 00:11:48,307
PHILIPPINES, THEY CREATE A
265
00:11:48,308 --> 00:11:49,876
SHOW THAT ILLUMINATES THE
266
00:11:49,877 --> 00:11:51,443
NIGHT SKY, AND THEY AREN'T
267
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:52,778
JUST DOING IT FOR LOOKS.
268
00:11:52,779 --> 00:11:54,297
EACH LIGHT IS ACTUALLY A
269
00:11:54,298 --> 00:11:55,814
FORM OF COMMUNICATION.
270
00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:57,067
LET'S HEAD BACK TO THE
271
00:11:57,068 --> 00:11:58,317
PHILIPPINES AND SEE WHAT
272
00:11:58,318 --> 00:12:01,487
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT.
273
00:12:01,488 --> 00:12:03,223
- WE'RE BACK IN THE
- FASCINATING ISLAND CHAIN
274
00:12:03,226 --> 00:12:05,258
OF THE PHILIPPINES.
275
00:12:08,495 --> 00:12:09,930
THESE SMALL INSECTS LOOK
276
00:12:09,931 --> 00:12:11,363
FAIRLY UNREMARKABLE DURING
277
00:12:11,364 --> 00:12:12,916
THE DAY, BUT AS THE SUN
278
00:12:12,917 --> 00:12:14,466
SETS, THEY SHOW A VERY
279
00:12:14,467 --> 00:12:17,236
DIFFERENT SIDE.
280
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:19,089
DARKNESS DESCENDS, AND
281
00:12:19,090 --> 00:12:20,940
GHOSTLY LIGHTS FLASH.
282
00:12:25,779 --> 00:12:27,598
THE INSECTS ARE FIREFLIES,
283
00:12:27,599 --> 00:12:29,415
AND NIGHTTIME IS WHEN THEY
284
00:12:29,416 --> 00:12:31,451
SHINE.
285
00:12:40,493 --> 00:12:42,227
THE LIGHTS ARE A COURTSHIP
286
00:12:42,228 --> 00:12:43,959
DISPLAY, A SIGN MALES WANT
287
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,197
TO MATE.
288
00:12:45,198 --> 00:12:47,267
- FLASHES ARE CAUSED BY A
- CHEMICAL REACTION INSIDE
289
00:12:47,270 --> 00:12:49,302
THE FLY'S BODY.
290
00:12:57,277 --> 00:12:58,812
- IT'S THOUGHT THAT BY
- DISPLAYING AT THE SAME
291
00:12:58,815 --> 00:13:00,314
TIME, MALES HAVE A GREATER
292
00:13:00,315 --> 00:13:01,814
CHANCE OF ATTRACTING A
293
00:13:01,815 --> 00:13:03,916
FEMALE.
294
00:13:03,917 --> 00:13:06,152
- THEIR MASS EFFECT RIVALS
- THE BRIGHTEST STARS IN THE
295
00:13:06,155 --> 00:13:08,188
NIGHTTIME SKY.
296
00:13:12,158 --> 00:13:14,177
THE SHIMMERING DISPLAY
297
00:13:14,178 --> 00:13:16,196
SLOWLY DRAWS TO A CLOSE.
298
00:13:19,650 --> 00:13:20,867
- NOW IS THE TIME WHEN THE
- PHILIPPINES' MOST
299
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:22,252
CELEBRATED AND SECRETIVE
300
00:13:22,253 --> 00:13:23,635
PREDATOR COMES OUT OF
301
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:25,672
HIDING...
302
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:33,790
...THE PHILIPPINE TARSIER.
303
00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:38,034
IT'S SO TINY, IT WOULD FIT
304
00:13:38,035 --> 00:13:40,519
INSIDE A HUMAN HAND, AND
305
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,223
IT ONLY STIRS AFTER DARK.
306
00:13:46,192 --> 00:13:48,044
THE TARSIER IS ONE OF THE
307
00:13:48,045 --> 00:13:49,895
WORLD'S SMALLEST PRIMATES,
308
00:13:49,896 --> 00:13:51,214
BUT IT HAS THE BIGGEST
309
00:13:51,215 --> 00:13:52,531
EYES RELATIVE TO BODY SIZE
310
00:13:52,532 --> 00:13:55,267
OF ANY MAMMAL.
311
00:13:55,268 --> 00:13:57,087
UNSURPRISINGLY, IT HAS
312
00:13:57,088 --> 00:13:58,904
SUPERB SIGHT.
313
00:13:58,905 --> 00:14:00,106
A CRICKET IS
314
00:14:00,107 --> 00:14:01,306
WELL-CAMOUFLAGED, BUT NOT
315
00:14:01,307 --> 00:14:06,459
WELL ENOUGH.
316
00:14:06,460 --> 00:14:07,975
THE TARSIER'S HEARING IS
317
00:14:07,976 --> 00:14:09,490
SUPERB, TOO.
318
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,075
IT PINPOINTS THE CRICKET'S
319
00:14:18,076 --> 00:14:19,590
POSITION...
320
00:14:24,597 --> 00:14:28,767
...AND STRIKES.
321
00:14:28,768 --> 00:14:31,137
- THE CRICKET DOESN'T SENSE
- DANGER UNTIL IT'S TOO
322
00:14:31,140 --> 00:14:36,759
LATE.
323
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,745
- THE NAME TARSIER COMES
- FROM ITS UNUSUALLY LONG
324
00:14:38,748 --> 00:14:40,497
TARSUS, OR ANKLE BONES,
325
00:14:40,498 --> 00:14:42,247
WHICH WORK LIKE SHOCK
326
00:14:42,248 --> 00:14:45,818
ABSORBERS.
327
00:14:45,819 --> 00:14:47,838
THEY HELP IT TO JUMP
328
00:14:47,839 --> 00:14:49,856
QUICKLY AND LAND QUIETLY.
329
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:55,746
AS IT HOLDS THE CRICKET,
330
00:14:55,747 --> 00:14:56,929
IT'S CLEAR HOW TINY THE
331
00:14:56,930 --> 00:14:59,566
TARSIER IS AND HOW HUNGRY.
332
00:15:06,539 --> 00:15:08,058
SPECIAL ADHESIVE DISCS ON
333
00:15:08,059 --> 00:15:09,575
ITS FEET HELP IT STICK TO
334
00:15:09,576 --> 00:15:11,428
BRANCHES WHILE IT EATS AND
335
00:15:11,429 --> 00:15:13,279
KEEPS WATCH.
336
00:15:14,948 --> 00:15:17,167
ITS EYES ARE BIGGER THAN
337
00:15:17,168 --> 00:15:19,385
ITS BRAIN AND ITS STOMACH.
338
00:15:19,386 --> 00:15:20,904
THEY'RE FIXED IN ITS SKULL
339
00:15:20,905 --> 00:15:22,421
AND CAN'T MOVE, BUT IT CAN
340
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,441
SPIN ITS HEAD THROUGH 180
341
00:15:24,442 --> 00:15:26,459
DEGREES LIKE AN OWL, AND
342
00:15:27,961 --> 00:15:29,229
THAT HELPS IT SPOT MANY
343
00:15:29,230 --> 00:15:30,496
MORE FEEDING
344
00:15:30,497 --> 00:15:34,566
OPPORTUNITIES.
345
00:15:34,567 --> 00:15:35,835
A CRICKET PROVIDES A BIG
346
00:15:35,836 --> 00:15:37,102
MEAL, BUT IT'S MERELY AN
347
00:15:37,103 --> 00:15:42,749
APPETIZER.
348
00:15:42,750 --> 00:15:44,644
- THE TARSIER LAUNCHES A
- FEEDING FRENZY TO RIVAL
349
00:15:44,647 --> 00:15:45,662
THE MOST FEROCIOUS
350
00:15:45,663 --> 00:15:46,680
PREDATOR.
351
00:15:58,258 --> 00:16:00,427
- ONE OF THE ISLAND'S
- TINIEST PREDATORS IS AMONG
352
00:16:00,430 --> 00:16:02,494
ITS DEADLIEST.
353
00:16:02,495 --> 00:16:04,514
A LONG NIGHT'S HUNTING HAS
354
00:16:04,515 --> 00:16:06,533
ONLY JUST BEGUN.
355
00:16:08,168 --> 00:16:10,360
- THE PHILIPPINES ARE HOME
- TO SOME OF THE RAREST
356
00:16:10,363 --> 00:16:12,885
ANIMALS ON EARTH AND SOME
357
00:16:12,886 --> 00:16:15,409
OF THE MOST UNUSUAL.
358
00:16:15,410 --> 00:16:17,430
- MANY OF THESE ANCIENT
- ISLANDS ARE ISOLATED AND
359
00:16:17,433 --> 00:16:18,577
UNDISTURBED.
360
00:16:18,578 --> 00:16:20,113
AS A RESULT, UNIQUE
361
00:16:20,114 --> 00:16:21,647
SPECIES HAVE FLOURISHED
362
00:16:21,648 --> 00:16:23,166
UNINTERRUPTED BY THE
363
00:16:23,167 --> 00:16:24,684
MODERN WORLD.

TYPICALLY SLOW-MOVING
366

MAMMALS, BUT WHAT HAPPENS
367
00:16:30,030 --> 00:16:31,569
WHEN THEY NEED TO MAKE A
368
00:16:31,570 --> 00:16:32,192
RUN FOR IT?

DYLAN: WELCOME BACK TO
374
00:17:00,087 --> 00:17:01,553
"EARTH ODYSSEY".
375
00:17:01,554 --> 00:17:03,857
- GIANT REPTILES ARE NOT THE
- ONLY PREDATORS PATROLLING
376
00:17:03,860 --> 00:17:07,860
THESE WATERWAYS.
377
00:17:07,861 --> 00:17:09,880
NONE HAS A MORE FEARSOME
378
00:17:09,881 --> 00:17:11,898
REPUTATION THAN A PIRANHA.
379
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:20,907
- BLOOD IN THE WATER WILL
- WHIP THEM INTO A FEEDING
380
00:17:20,910 --> 00:17:22,942
FRENZY.
381
00:17:33,530 --> 00:17:35,550
THESE RED-BELLIED PIRANHAS
382
00:17:35,551 --> 00:17:37,570
ARE EFFICIENT WORKERS.
383
00:17:42,729 --> 00:17:43,814
JAWS FILLED WITH
384
00:17:43,815 --> 00:17:44,897
RAZOR-SHARP TEETH ARE
385
00:17:44,898 --> 00:17:46,917
DESIGNED TO MAKE QUICK
386
00:17:46,918 --> 00:17:48,935
WORK OF THEIR MEAL.
387
00:18:04,170 --> 00:18:05,412
AS THE WATERS CONTINUE TO
388
00:18:05,413 --> 00:18:06,652
RISE, MANY ANIMALS WILL
389
00:18:06,653 --> 00:18:09,219
BECOME CUT OFF.
390
00:18:09,220 --> 00:18:11,224
- A THREE-TOED SLOTH IS
- FORCED TO BRAVE THE
391
00:18:11,227 --> 00:18:13,243
TREACHEROUS WATERS IN
392
00:18:13,244 --> 00:18:15,261
SEARCH OF A NEW HOME.
393
00:18:18,531 --> 00:18:20,550
DESPITE THE DANGERS, IT
394
00:18:20,551 --> 00:18:22,569
HAS NO CHOICE.
395
00:18:24,838 --> 00:18:25,856
BUILT FOR LIFE IN THE
396
00:18:25,857 --> 00:18:26,872
TREETOPS, SLOTHS ARE
397
00:18:26,873 --> 00:18:28,391
SURPRISINGLY GOOD
398
00:18:28,392 --> 00:18:29,909
SWIMMERS.
399
00:18:32,712 --> 00:18:34,096
THEY PADDLE EFFICIENTLY
400
00:18:34,097 --> 00:18:35,479
WITH THEIR LONG ARMS AND
401
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,682
ARE ABLE TO MOVE MUCH
402
00:18:36,683 --> 00:18:37,883
FASTER THAN THEY DO ON
403
00:18:37,884 --> 00:18:39,919
LAND.
404
00:18:44,900 --> 00:18:46,347
BUT NOT QUICKLY ENOUGH TO
405
00:18:46,348 --> 00:18:47,794
GO UNNOTICED.
406
00:18:56,136 --> 00:18:57,521
GREEN ANACONDA ARE ALWAYS
407
00:18:57,522 --> 00:18:58,904
ON THE LOOKOUT FOR AN EASY
408
00:18:58,905 --> 00:19:00,607
MEAL.
409
00:19:10,583 --> 00:19:11,851
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TOO
410
00:19:11,852 --> 00:19:13,118
GOOD TO BE MISSED FOR ONE
411
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,971
OF THE FOREST'S DEADLIEST
412
00:19:14,972 --> 00:19:16,823
PREDATORS.
413
00:19:24,164 --> 00:19:25,865
- CHEMORECEPTORS ON THE
- SNAKE'S TONGUE HELP IT
414
00:19:25,868 --> 00:19:27,884
TRACK ITS PREYS MOVEMENTS
415
00:19:27,885 --> 00:19:29,903
THROUGH THE WATER.
416
00:19:32,672 --> 00:19:34,207
FINALLY, THE SLOTH MAKES
417
00:19:34,208 --> 00:19:35,741
IT TO A SUITABLE TREE, BUT
418
00:19:35,742 --> 00:19:37,227
IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE
419
00:19:37,228 --> 00:19:38,711
TOP, AND TIME IS AGAINST
420
00:19:38,712 --> 00:19:42,715
IT.
421
00:19:42,716 --> 00:19:45,002
BUT THIS SLOTH IS LUCKY TO
422
00:19:45,003 --> 00:19:47,286
GET AWAY.
423
00:19:47,287 --> 00:19:49,622
- THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
- ON THIS INCREDIBLE JOURNEY
424
00:19:49,625 --> 00:19:51,257

425
00:19:51,258 --> 00:19:52,891
AMAZON ISLANDS, TWO ISLAND
426
00:19:52,892 --> 00:19:54,127
CHAINS THAT PROVIDE HOMES
427
00:19:54,128 --> 00:19:55,361
FOR SOME OF THE MOST
428
00:19:55,362 --> 00:19:57,130
ADAPTABLE AND FASCINATING
429
00:19:57,131 --> 00:19:58,897
ANIMALS ON EARTH.
