Common Starling Sturnus vulgaris flock, or murmuration, flies at dusk over Somerset, England. The sky is one of the world's most challenging places to live, but across the planet, an extraordinary range of animals do something we can only dream of - take to the air. Get ready to experience the thrill of flying alongside these animals and seeing the world from their unique perspective.
In the opening program, we explore the basic principles of flight to discover how animals get airborne in the first place. In this episode we see how nature has pushed the basic flying body plan to extremes.
How do the heaviest animals take off, the fastest use speed as a weapon, or those traversing the widest oceans do so with barely a wing beat? All these record breakers push physics and physiology to the limit, but although each one employs a different aerodynamic mix of speed, maneuverability, endurance and power it allows them all, in their own unique way, to become true masters of the sky.
Once airborne, animals enter a realm of hunters and hunted where only those with incredible tactics, as well as flying skills, will ultimately outcompete their rivals to succeed.
In this episode, we discover why the sky is a place worth fighting for, how animals live, sleep, mate, and die on the wing, and what superior strategies they must possess to ensure their success in an aerial world full of flying creatures.
