BBC Earths Natural Wonders Series 2 2of3 Surviving with Animals
- 6 years ago
Documentary series examining what it takes to survive in some of the most extreme places on the planet.
Part 2: Surviving with Animals
In many of the earth’s natural wonders there is an abundance of animals. These can be a devastating threat to the people who live there, or they can provide a means of survival, but often at a high price.
In the coastal salt marshes of northern Australia’s Arnhem Land, Indigenous Australians still go hunting for the eggs of one of the world’s most aggressive predators – the saltwater crocodile. Vanuatu is an island paradise in the south Pacific, but life here isn’t perhaps as idyllic as it appears. Overfishing has reduced fish stocks, making food harder to come by for the indigenous islanders like 45-year-old Nigasau.
