On South Africa’s Robberg Peninsula, thousands of Cape fur seals are squeezed onto a small ledge. A yearling pup escapes into the water, where the clumsy youngster becomes nimble and graceful. In recent years, this coast has been home to unprecedented numbers of great white sharks, and the seal colony must band together if they’re to see off the world’s most notorious predator.
The Arctic coast is the scene of the biggest seasonal transformation on earth, and the melting of billions of tons of ice brings short-lived opportunities to these coastal waters. Animals arrive en masse, perhaps the strangest of which is the sea angel. This beguiling creature has a devilish side—it's a voracious predator whose ambush wouldn’t be amiss in a sci-fi horror.
On Namibia’s infamous Skeleton Coast, where the world’s oldest desert meets the cold Atlantic, we meet some unexpected residents. Hungry lions discover this coast for the first time in 40 years and try their luck in a huge seabird colony.
