Forests are dark, shady habitats, realms of shadows perfect for predators to lurk. The dense plant growth facilitates a wealth of prey species, and cunning predators of all shapes and sizes have adapted to exploit every niche. Whether crawling on the forest floor, gliding through the trees or stalking the shadows in between, hunters have mastered the terrain in every type of forest imagina-ble. And they're not just stealthy, they're also some of the most enigmatic and beautiful creatures on the planet.
You think plants are boring or passive? Far from it! They use complex reactions to respond to light, sound and touch. And like in the animal kingdom, different species have developed a near unending list of strategies to ensure their legacy is passed on. Plants have evolved tricks to beat the ele-ments, animal enemies or even other plants: From thorns and spines to poisons and even live-in bodyguards. This two-part series shows the survival strategies of our green “roommates” we share the planet with.
