MANILA, Philippines - Life episode three titled Mammals shows how animals survive and nurse their babies. They dominate animals in the planet and can survive whether in tropical weather or in cold weather. They can survive extreme weathers because of their unique physical traits of fat, fur and warm blood and also, what makes Mammals stand out among the animals is their trait of being able to care for their young.
A Weddell seal survives the Antarctic ice during winter and managed to give birth to a single pup which was nourished and taught to swim in the cold waters. On the other side of the world, a polar bear also copes to being in the cold and hunt for food where they are joined by other animals on the lookout for survival and dominance.
Having warm blood, Mammals are much faster than reptiles. In slow-motion, a Rufous-Sengi showed speed while being chased by a Monitor Lizard. Warm blood also gives endurance to fruit bats that managed to migrate from the Congo to Zambia.
In Tonga, a Humpback Whale gathers to breed and is caught in a heat run where male whales go to battle to secure mate with a female. The massive creatures slash tail, collide, smash and force each other to the bottom to come out as the best male.
Also watch a weedy sea dragon lives in the South Coast of Australia. Every Spring, the sea dragons gather for male-female courtship and mating. After a few months, eggs hatch and they go separate ways from their parents. Flying fish are capable of flying over water and soaring on their so-called wings created by their elongated fins.
Life’s initial airing tonight at 8 with Stories marathon replay on June 22 at 8 p.m., on Solar News Channel.
