Life

In the knife-edge world of hunters and hunted, mammals' ability to learn new tricks is their key to survival. A killer whale is shown sneaking into a pool where elephant seal pups learn to swim, slow motion cameras reveal how the star-nosed mole can smell prey underwater, and young ibex demonstrate how to escape a fox by running up an almost vertical cliff face.
