Sir David Attenborough examines the mysteries behind some of nature's most fascinating creatures and plants.

The owl and the giant squid have adapted to life in the dark. Owl eyes are so huge they can't even move them within their sockets. The giant squid has the largest eyes known in the animal kingdom. But where does it hide and what is it looking at?

Early reports of a wild, hairy creature in the jungles of Africa gave the gorilla a fearsome reputation and the vampire bat, with its strange face and nocturnal habits, also gave rise to horrific stories and myths. However, the true nature of these animals turned out to be very different.
