- Description
- In Life Story this week animals grow up in the adult world. They will develop new skills and learn how to survive on their own.
A tiger cub grows up in a very dangerous society. She needs the support of both parents if she is to become an independent adult. But the appearance of a rival to her father may change everything.
The Veined Octopus spends almost all of its time feeding as it races towards adulthood. But this leaves it exposed to predators. In order to protect itself it searches for bits of discarded coconut shell that will fit neatly together. Then it uses them as protective armor.
A pair of young cheetah siblings are in a race against starvation. They can only survive by working together to bring down big prey for the first time - an impala weighing more than both cheetahs put together. - Genre
- Research; Biology; Natural History
