are just some examples of the incredible al-armful.

That I invite you to discover with me.

In this fascinating new documentary series.

[Moo]

First of all, we are going to have the rare opportunity to

witness the maturing of the extraordinary cube fish.

As stange as it may seem,

both to you and to myself

This animal matures in the manner of a ripening fruit.

Once it has been released and dropped to the surface.

It begins a long and gruelling journey

to the safety of it's river.

today we are going to see all that

and much more.

You can already hear it's breathing.

The cube fish.

A cross between a toad, a carp, and an apple.

It's just about to drop.

Clears throat

This new series is a ground breaking

and truely orginal project.

Only suitible to open curious minds like ours.

This is a major departure from the big budget productions

you come to expect from me

In the Amazon the African Savanna

and so on.

Which perhaps have become a little repetitive

and over produced.

but which,

apart from countless awards and honours

avend me.

[MOO] Oh! oh! It's happening!

Incredible!

This is a real moment of discovery.

A chance to seize opportunities,

explore new frontiers,

and allow ourselves to be captivated

By this

amazing new world that is oppening up before us.

Though of course,

always leaving a door open.

but for now lets focus on the cube fish

and it's journey.

A journey that promises to be facinating.

It doesn't look like this one has made it [moo].

Others are dropping.

Maybe this odd behaviour will become clearer later on.

Lets meet another of the creatures.

This animal here is a very unusual variety of hedgehog.

Very unusual.

Remarkable and unfortunately for the hedgehog

It's spines grow inwards.

Inwards.

It looses large amounts of a liquid

similar to human tears,

which means it must constantly search for water.

Which always seems to be out of reach.

Although the spines don't penetrate any of it's vital organs

they still pose a major problem to the inverted hedgehog.

Procreation although desireable,

is avoided

as it leaves no survivors.

A knock or even just a sneeze can be fatal.

Right.

Ok.

Nothing new around here.

Your welcome. I need a volunteer.

You.

It looks like we can see inside the hedgehog.

Lets see if...

Yes. Thats right.

The animal manages to stay alive

despite it's ingrowing spines,

because none of them penetrate the vital organs.

Interesting.

Lets see if there have been any developments with the cube fish.

Wow thats great!

It looks as though we're in luck.

Mother nature even with these beings

eventually finds a way.

We hope it will be able to get around this obsticle.

Others follow it's example.

What a pitty [moo].

He didnt make it this time.

[Message beep]

I call you.

You won't answer.

Look it's about the series.

I just don't see it working out.

[Message beep]

Yes, so.

Word for word.

It waits motionlessly for it's favourite fruit to ripen,

which only happens for a few seconds every year.

They all die in the attempt.

Hows it sound?

This really is an impressive mating dance.

What appears to be balls that it's juggling

are actually it's vital organs.

Risky, but effective.

Come on you already got her.

You can't do both things at the same time.

Just get on with it.

Listen carefully.

It produces all the urine that it will produce in it's lifetime

within the space of two weeks.

and the same in the faeces and so on.

Do have any idea how much it stinks in here.

Here boy! Here boy!

Aw, how cute!

Lets see.

Play dead!

Good boy! Good boy!

Now wheres the bone?

Where, where is it?

Can't you find it?

Ok it doesn't matter.

Lets see...

Y...your leg, give me your leg.

No not that.

N...n...now you.

The seal!

Very good the seal!

You had the ball.

Ha ha ha.

You little rascall.

Come on.

Do something else!

Wow!

No idea. No.

The soldier, the soldier, the soldier.

The s...Give me a break.

Jesus Christ.

Now what.

Now what are you going to do.

[Bark, bark, bark]

[Cross walk signal]

Come on lets cross.

One, two, go.

Come on, off you go!

[Bark,bark,bark]

Control that dog madame.

Fortunately, one of our friends has made it.

You can do it.

He's finaly made it to the river.

He's worked hard to reach

where his clumsy movements will no doubt become

agile and graceful.

Alternatively, the river may be off boiling oil

and he'll fri like a little crobget.
