This documentary reveals the awe-inspiring world of animal swarms, discovering what happens when super-swarms invade people’s lives and, using the latest camera techniques, going to the heart of the swarm to reveal how the creatures therein view our world.
Real-life footage from camcorders and mobile phones captures the amazing impact they can have. Killer bees mount an attack on an international football match in Costa Rica; in the US the Illinois River boils with leaping silver carp, an alien species that has hijacked the river, smashing into boats and injuring people.

Just like the
director did some ago
in Microcosmos, this is a
project
in which
we can
see the advances of film-making, the one
that can
show
us images
that we had never
seen
before
.
From the crystallization of Vitamin C through and electronic microscope, to the sea horses love dance, from the amazing life of the walking fish to the love parakeets, from the beautiful dance of Jellyfish to the lava rivers, every single image is filled with color, life, joy and some kind of mystery.

to response
just that query
in an modern

chimps to make use of
video clip
contact
screens and giving them a unique

It occasionally
appears
as if our planet has no secrets and techniques
left – but deep beneath the good
Antarctic ice sheet scientists have created
an astonishing discovery. They’ve discovered
1
in the
greatest
lakes inside the
globe
. It is
incredibly
existence defies perception
. Scientists are desperate to obtain
in to the
lake mainly because
its intense
atmosphere
may well
be residence
to special
flora and fauna, by no means
observed
just before
, and NASA are enthusiastic
by what it could train
us about extraterrestrial lifestyle
. But four
kilometers of ice stand involving
the lake as well as the
floor
, and breaking this seal with out
contaminating essentially the most
pristine physique
of h2o
around the
planet is maybe
1
in the
greatest issues
science faces inside the
21st century.
In 1957 the Russians established a remote base in Antarctica – the Vostok station. It
quickly
grew to become
a byword for hardship – dependent on an epic annual 1000km tractor journey from the coast for its provides
. The coldest temperature ever discovered
on Earth (-89°C) was recorded right here
around the
21st July 1983. It is
an unlikely setting to get a
lake of liquid h2o
. But inside the
1970’s a British crew
employed
airborne radar to find out
beneath the ice, mapping the mountainous land buried by the Antarctic ice sheet. Flying close
the Vostok base their radar trace instantly
went flat. They guessed that the flat trace could only be from h2o
. It was the 1st
proof
that the ice might be
hiding a good
secret.
But
twenty
a long time
handed
just before
their suspicions had been
confirmed, when satellites ultimately
revealed that there was an huge
lake beneath
the Vostok base. It’s
1
in the
greatest
lakes inside the
globe
– at 10,000 square km it is
concerning the
extent of Lake Ontario, but about twice as deep (500m in locations
). The principle
was that it could only exist mainly because
the ice acts like a large
insulating blanket, trapping sufficient
in the
earth’s warmth
to melt the incredibly
bottom in the
ice sheet.

The Thylacine was the largest known carnivorous marsupial of modern times. Native to Australia and New Guinea, it is thought to have become extinct in the 20th century.
It is commonly known as the Tasmanian Tiger (because of its striped back), the Tasmanian Wolf, and colloquially the Tassie (or Tazzy) Tiger or simply the Tiger. It was the last extant member of its genus, Thylacinus, although several related species have been found in the fossil record dating back to the early Miocene.
