A complicated system of relationships inextricably binds each title of the natural ecosystems. In fact, scientists are just startling to understand the complex nature of the animal world. In their opinion, each behavior, each shape, and colour is never there by mere chance. Everything takes place following a rigorous survival law. How to proceed? In front of this still greatly unknown world, researchers and scientists find themselves as if they had to translate an unknown language without a dictionary!
Little by little, with patience, deep study and analysis, they explain the oddest (or funny) behaviours, disclose the mystery of strange shapes, flashy colourful feathers or the designs on the snakes’ skin. They find answers to the motivations of rituals and dances, they reveal the mechanism that governs the relationship between the species and the language they use.
Following the guidance of specialists in ecology, animal behavior and natural sciences, this series will allow the viewer to get to know and better understand the marvelous world of animals. And it might also, very often, uncover the deep roots of many human behaviours.
