The Oldest Creatures on the Planet
They're called "cold-blooded," but thermal cameras reveal that
reptiles are really solar-powered. Welcome to the world of lizards –
some that are social sunbathers, some that use plants as under-floor
heaters, and some that choose only the "hottest" mates…literally!

Land Invaders
Amphibians – from five-foot-long giant salamanders battling in
Japanese rivers to the ultimate frog chorus in the Panamanian
rainforest to the beautiful golden frog that communicates by
semaphore.

Dragons
Go across the globe to meet lizards that flash and wave; chameleons
that joust with their horns; social lizards that live in families;
and lizard lotharios that display in technicolor to every passing
female. And discover the tender side of lizard life.

Serpents
They can travel underground, over land, across water, up trees and
even through the air with consummate ease – the ultimate "off road"
animals.

Armoured Giants
Crocodiles and turtles. In Australia salt-water crocodiles, in the
highest densities on earth crowd a river-run, jaws agape and jostling
for position as they fish for mullet, like bears fishing for salmon.
And giant tortoises from Galapagos, sea turtles, snake-necks, turtles
from all over the world.
