South Pacific

Series 1 Episode 1: Ocean of Islands

Looking at the remote South Pacific islands. Their extraordinary isolation has created some of the most curious, surprising and precarious examples of life found anywhere on Earth, from giant crabs that tear open coconuts to flesh-eating caterpillars that impale their prey on dagger-like claws. Human culture is different, too.
