Honorary contribution of BBC and David Attenborough? Uncover the mystery of nature life for you.
From the towering mountains of the Himalayas, the ice and snow covered wasteland in the polar regions, the Sahara Desert to the sands of the Kera Desert, this natural environment, like the creatures living there, is amazing.
In the program, David Attenborough will take us to explore coniferous forests, tropical forests and ash covered volcanic sides, so as to contact various kinds of complex life. In the earth where we live, snow leopards, emperor penguins, and flying snakes are just a few of the incredible creatures in nature. They can also show their vitality everywhere in the stormy waves, clear streams in the mountains, a muddy and icy snowy world near the Amazon River basin, and even in cities built by human beings.
In the second half of the program, David will lead us to watch parrots that haunt at night, squirrels that can glide, and unicorns in the sea. At the same time, we will also see how some places that took millions of years to evolve were polluted and destroyed by human beings, and tell us why we need to change our way of life urgently.

Interpretation from netizens:
Episode 1: Animals in Himalayan Valley, incisive magma and volcanic eruption
In the second episode, the landform of South America, the grass mud horse looks too friendly. The most amazing thing about animals in Antarctica and walrus in summer is that there is such a vibrant ecosystem in the permafrost
The third episode, Northern Forest, from coniferous forest to maple leaf forest, all kinds of owls really love each other. The little owl looks like a rag. Woodpecker is a kind of bird with good skills and strategies. I like it~~It's nice to see ants fighting against caterpillars. The duckling's first flight was too cute. Cobra and Tortoise Encounter It's like two Wulin experts meet
