Weird Creatures with Nick Baker - Season 2
Season 2
Nick Baker searches for some of nature's Weird Creatures - from the master of disguise the mimic octopus to the tiny primate who's eyes are literary bigger than it's belly. Some would dismiss these oddities as freaks of nature, but for Nick, these are the unsung heroes of evolutionary biology.
