Planet Earth II

A New World Revealed

Ten years on from the first, groundbreaking Planet Earth, the most incredible advances in technology and scientific discovery are used to bring the most exciting and immersive picture of our world's wildlife yet. With more than 250 breathtaking photographs and stills from the BBC Natural History Unit's spectacular footage, this is an extraordinary new look at the complex life of some of the most amazing places on Planet Earth. Each chapter reveals an environment—some never-before-seen, some astonishingly familiar—defined by a unique set of rules required for survival. From the most desolate desert to the depths of the jungle, from blistering heat and freezing cold to perpetual darkness and deadly UV, discover how a whole host of creatures have adapted to life in the most extreme conditions. And how they compete with one another to become the largest, the fastest, the most poisonous, or most devious—all in a bid to survive.
