David Attenborough shares amazing stories of the wonders of the planet.
Coasts are the most dynamic and varied habitat on the planet. Stretching for a million miles and occupying almost every latitude, this frontier between land and sea is a place where life must battle constant change. Change arrives with every season, every tide, and every ocean swell…
Despite the dangers, coasts attract all comers because they are also places of great opportunity. Few visitors are as unlikely as the terrestrial wandering garter snake. For all the turmoil, some special stretches of coast are sanctuaries too. In fact, southern right whales will travel thousands of kilometres to return to Península Valdés, Argentina. This vast nursery bay hosts the biggest gathering of these whales in the world.
On the exposed coast of Mexico’s Yucatan, the challenge is very different. Vivid, shallow, hypersaline lagoons are concentrated by the sun. For Caribbean flamingos who can tolerate it, it provides safety against predators, and it’s here they choose to nest. But the same exposure that creates the lagoons is a danger when storm season arrives. Particularly for young, downy chicks, not yet able to leave the nest.
