Arabia's coral reefs are home to some of nature's most impressive illusionists. Creatures can pulsate with colour, transform in the blink of an eye, or perform riveting displays of showmanship. Because in these dangerous waters, disguise is crucial.

All animals have their special ways to survive winter. Migrating birds like swallows and cranes fly towards south, a lot of mammals like deer get a thick winter fur or hide away and sleep where it's warm. But what do insects do? And why are they all back in spring?

The Wild Coast of South Africa stretches for 170 miles. Here, the waters of the Indian and the Atlantic converge, forcing powerful waves towards the shoreline. This is where the Mozambique-based manta ray researcher Andrea Marshall hopes to conduct her first-ever manta ray expedition within South Africa's borders...

The wild coastline of Mozambique stretches along more than 1,600 miles - an area teeming with a diversity of marine life. Some of the world's largest filter feeders are attracted to this nutrient-rich water. But even these large creatures are defenceless against reckless overfishing. Two of Mozambique's leading marine researchers, Andrea Marshall and Nakia Cullain, set out to find one of the ocean's most secretive animals and protect its most well known, before its too late.

Find out why the species that controls the water rules the world. Dive into oceans, lakes, and rivers for a look at underwater war zones, then get a front-row seat at some brutal skirmishes above the waves that determine who wins and who dies.

Off the coast of Oman, summer weather drives nutrients in from the ocean depths where they meet the Arabian sun, causing an explosion of life. Smaller fish spawn, filling the waters with eggs. This creates a buffet predators just can't resist.
