Reveals how wildlife has found the most enterprising ways to survive on the islands, why these islands are a showcase for evolution, and the profound forces that influence the delicate balance of life. Witness blue-footed boobies plunge-diving into trecherous waters, sea lions surfing, the courtship dance of the waved albatross, Darwin's finches as crafty tool-users, and hawks hunting marine iguanas.
