Ten years on from the first, groundbreaking Planet Earth, the most
incredible advances in technology and scientific discovery are used to
bring the most exciting and immersive picture of our world's wildlife
yet. With more than 250 breathtaking photographs and stills from the BBC
Natural History Unit's spectacular footage, this is an extraordinary new
look at the complex life of some of the most amazing places on Planet
Earth. Each chapter reveals an environment--some never-before-seen, some
astonishingly familiar--defined by a unique set of rules required for
survival. From the most desolate desert to the depths of the jungle,
from blistering heat and freezing cold to perpetual darkness and deadly
UV, discover how a whole host of creatures have adapted to life in the
most extreme conditions. And how they compete with one another to become
the largest, the fastest, the most poisonous, or most devious--all in a
bid to survive. Planet Earth II includes the first in-depth look at
the urban environment, and the surprising range of behaviors occurring
right under our noses, as well as some previously untouched island
worlds. Filmed with remarkable 5k and infra-red technology, these are
the challenges, the confrontations, and the triumphs of some of the most
extraordinary creatures in the natural world, told from their
perspective. This is our planet, as you have never seen it before.
