DOCUMENTARY

PLANET EARTH

Planet Earth, produced by the BBC, records uncountable creatures from the Antarctic to the Arctic, from the equator to the cold zone, from the African grasslands to the tropical rainforest, and from the desolate peaks to the deep sea. I'd like to share some of the takeaways from watching Planet Earth.

·Almost half of all polar bear cubs die on the ice in their first year of the cave.

·The equatorial forest covers only 3% of the earth's surface, but it is home to more than 50% of the world's flora and fauna.

·Man-eating sharks swim fast in a straight line, but turn sharply but are not as nimble as fur seals.

·The brown bear in Canada is so special that it has learned to dive for food.

·More than 80% of Baikal's species are unique.

·Snow geese are loyal to one mate for life.

·Only fat little foxes survive the Arctic winter.

·No animal can bear the consequences of indiscriminate hunting and habitat destruction.
