Dive into an undersea world that's swimming with flirty amphibians, fishy friends, and sea-slug vacuums that keep things clean.

Bizarre dramas unfold in the world's wet and wild oceans, including a leopard seal and a crustacean that team up to ruin an octopus's day.
Extremeliest
The miraculous Jesus Christ lizard and goo-spewing bombardier beetle stand out among nature's oldest, fastest and just plain kookiest creatures.
The Flight Stuff
Take to the skies to discover amazing murmurations of starlings and adorably pudgy puffins. Don't mind the flying snakes, those wingless weirdos.

Get ready for a rumble in the jungle. Whether clawing, crashing or headbanging, animal gladiators like to fight if love or status is on the line.
Strangerer Things
The parade of curiosities kicks off with a tiny lizard that fits on a fingertip and monkeys with huge noses. Some Hawaiian sand is fish poop — fact.
We're All the Same
Humans share a surprising number of traits with their critter kin, such as using tools, yawning, soaking in saunas and flipping real estate.
