Life in the Air

With the help of some surprising creatures from around the world, we'll discover how animals take to the air, defying the force all airborne animals must conquer - gravity. In Africa a caracal cat's `rocket-propelled' launch enables it to catch birds in flight. In the Australian outback a kangaroo's hop is key to finding water in a desert over a million square kilometres.
