This documentary reveals the incredible survival stories of some of the world's most unique animals. See the enormous global effort to save the critically endangered Giant Panda, where loss of the essential bamboo habitat and a difficult reproductive cycle threatens the species' future. Travel next to the Tennessee Aquarium to meet the mysterious Paddlefish, a prehistoric North American fish with a skeleton made of cartilage that has existed for over 100 million years. This ancient filter feeder uses its massive paddle-shaped snout as a high-tech electric antenna to locate microscopic food in the dark. Then, enter the fascinating world of the apex predator, the Komodo Dragon, and the ongoing study of babies born through parthenogenesis, a rare 'virgin birth' that could change how we understand the lizard's biology. Learn why young Komodo dragons must spend their early years hiding high in the trees to escape one of the deadliest threats: adult Komodo Dragons. Finally, meet the resilient Little Blue Penguins overcoming severe challenges and Sam the Otter building an essential bond with his trainer. This is a journey through nature's toughest battles and most unique adaptations.
