Series 1 Episode 4: Freshwater

Fresh water is the lifeblood of planet Earth and the stage for extraordinary animal dramas. In the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest, a little-known spectacle unfolds above a very special pond. Up to ten thousand gliding tree frogs - the world's largest known gathering of its kind - descend from the canopy for the most important breeding event of the year. It will only last a day? and with males outnumbering females nine to one, competition is fierce.
