Paul Van-Auken and the Aqua Quest team are in search of the lost continent Atlantis. Paul reveals some of his discoveries and tells us a little bit about his life.

Arctic sea ice is a key component of our global climate system. Scientists have observed that our polar ice is melting at an alarming rate. Dire consequences may ensue for man, beast and our planet as a whole, if we don’t move to alternative non-fossil sources of energy. View this informative video from Greenpeace.

People are increasingly interested in seeing animals in natural settings, so traditional jail-like zoos are giving way to open-plan zoos, and to eco-tourism.

Barbary macaques are among the most popular tourist attractions in Gibraltar. The apes have a taste for junk food, which enables tourists to see them up close and allows scientists to easily capture them for research.

We leave the macaques in Gibraltar to travel to the Galapagos Islands to learn about marine and land iguanas.

The segment focuses on the alien striped iguanas of the Galapagos Islands, albinism in a variety of animals, and the peppered moth.

The last segment focuses on Australia. We visit the Warrawong Earth Sanctuary, where there are breeding programs to reintroduce such indigenous animals as bandicoots and quolls, creatures that came close to extinction.

The honey badger is described as the most fearless animal on the planet. Although barely a foot tall, they have a reputation for attacking just about anything—from venomous snakes to full-grown lions. And they are not exactly meant for captivity: Stoffel the honey badger escapes from his enclosure regularly using anything from balls of mud to a rake.

Many people living in cities yearn for a piece of nature in their life. Jean Barberis from Flux Factory and about a dozen artists are working together to create and maintain such a green refuge amidst skyscrapers.

By following honeyguides, a species of bird, people in Africa are able to locate bees’ nests to harvest honey. Research now reveals that humans use special calls to solicit the help of honeyguides and that honeyguides actively recruit appropriate human partners. This relationship is a rare example of cooperation between humans and free-living animals.

In this shark-filled adventure, Jonathan travels to the Bahamas to meet Neal Harvey, a world-renowned shark handler who will attempt to teach Jonathan how to put Caribbean Reef sharks into a relaxed state known as tonic immobility!

Shark handler Neal wants to find Jonathan a smaller silky shark to begin his training, but when the little sharks give them the slip, Jonathan is straight in at the deep end, witnessing first hand a feeding of the much larger Caribbean reef sharks!

Following shark handler Neal’s expert example, Jonathon tries his hand at relaxing the reef sharks into the extremely tranquil state of tonic immobility… an unforgettable experience for the wildlife enthusiast!

Jonathan gets back to filming so that Neal can show off his skills as a shark handler. He controls the big sharks through various maneuvers, including his ultimate demonstration: holding a shark vertically using only one arm—almost like a shark headstand!
