As the tide rises in New Zealand's Northland Harbours, Stingrays and Eagle rays swim in to feast on shellfish. But they are not the top of the food chain.

As the tide ebbs, the once underwater world of Northland's mangroves surfaces and seethes. Twisted roots that moments ago sheltered fish are now exposed - a seafood platter for patient Herons, Spoonbills, and Shags.

Extinction, a daunting and confusing word. A force of nature, that sees the end of species, but also heralds the birth of others. Right now the extinction rate could be as much as 10,000 times faster than it should be. 20% of fish, a fifth of all reptiles and a quarter of mammals face extinction. If we are to do anything to stem the tide of extinction we must understand the lifestyles of those in danger. The future for countless animals is uncertain, but one thing is for sure – we have a lot to learn.
We love to measure aspects of life at its extremes. The biggest, the tallest, even the rarest – some of the most iconic creatures in the natural world. Many are familiar but it's also important to recognise some of the more surprising record breakers.
