- During the Napoleonic Wars, a brash British captain pushes his ship and crew to their limits in pursuit of a formidable French war vessel around South America.
- Male birds show off in the exotic ritual of mating.
- Cameras follow birds as they dive into fresh and salt waters for their meals.
- Birds eat more than berries; this episode takes a look at birds that eat meat.
- Laying eggs and keeping nests are two things that keep birds grounded.
- Discovering the role of beaks within various species of birds.
- The focus turns to the mastery of flight, from the science of gravity to the ability of birds to cover extremely long distances.
- The series begins with an in-depth look at flightless birds around the world.
- The story of the reptiles who came after the dinosaurs.
- Forrest is in the Galapagos seeking the Fernandina Tortoise, an animal that was only seen once, over 100 years ago. The clues are here, along with an abundance of incredibly unique species, raising hopes of a historic discovery.
- Monty and his family return to the Galapagos, where he experiences the mighty volcanic power that created the islands and Tam searches for threatened giant manta rays.
- Monty and his family are settling into life on the island of Isabela. They find flamingos in an unexpected place and get to know a big fish with a bad reputation. Isla helps tag baby hammerheads.
- Reptiles and amphibians are as dramatic in combat, colorful in their communication and tender in their parental care as other animals. They also live their lives on a totally different time scale and harness their energy from the sun. The Cold-Blooded Truth reveals the secret of their success.
- The intimate lives of some of the largest and most impressive animals alive today - crocodiles, turtles and tortoises - are revealed in this final program. All of them are covered in thick scales that have turned into armor, yet, despite their tough exteriors, these animals are capable of astonishing behavior and warm-hearted interaction.
- Many if the countless island in the South Pacific are neither broken off continental shells nor made by corals, but created by spectacular volcanic activity in the ocean. These often young, fertile grounds developed varied wildlife on and around them.
- Due to its extreme size and depth, the South Pacific has an equivalent variety of marine life. Some species are unique and most adapted to the various requirements of its conditions, such as great distances to travel in seasonal migrations, as whales, sharks and even turtles do.
- The South Sea, or southern Pacific Ocean, from Galapagos to Antarctic, comprises a quart of the world's water. Yet is's barely known, being so vast and scarcely populated with humans, yet immensely with wildlife, largely in seasonal migrations, as with breeding birds etc. and their predators. In reality, the weather and currents are varied, not just tropical heat, and crucial, as even storms were for propagating species, which may then mutate, often bizarrely, resulting in extraordinary variety on over 20,000, often quite isolated islands. Man too evolved uniquely, most within a mere two milennia, resulting in the strangest cultural traditions. Easter Island testifies to their ecological fragility.
- Biologist Dave Salmoni ventures to a deadly island in the legendary Galapagos Archipelago, in search of some of the weirdest and toughest animals on the planet.
- In a making-of special, Dave Salmoni reveals the hardship and dangers - not to mention broken equipment - he and his team had to battle while filming the series.
- The Galapagos archipelago, way off Chile's coast, is named after the saddle shape of it iconic, century-living giant turtle species. Considered hellish by its Spanish discovers, it became a paradisaic nature reserve. Its uniquely odd land - and aquatic wildlife, evolving at record speed due to the fast emergence and transformation of volcanic islands at a tectonic crack where three major ocean currents meet, greatly inspired Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories.
- There is plenty of food in the Pacific Ocean, but it is the challenge of finding that food that drives all life in the Pacific. In the voracious Pacific we meet a destructive army of mouths, a killer with a hundred mouths, and the biggest mouth in the ocean.
