Season 1

This fascinating series travels through a virtual day, from dawn to dusk to night, showing how different animals have adapted to make the most out of every moment. The changing position of the sun affects animal and plant behaviour; lemurs need morning heat; a chameleon survives on solar power.

An exploration of how the sun's power still rules the night time world, as its light, reflected in the moon, is a ghost sun for tiny hunting tarsiers and an aphrodisiac for Australian corals.
