David Attenborough has made a career out of presenting nature documentaries on a number of topics, most of which are highly regarded by critics and viewers alike. In this programme, the naturalist highlights some of nature's evolutionary anomalies and how curious critters baffle and fascinate scientists. Each episode features two animals, linked by a common theme, who adapt to their environments in unusual ways. The stories of nature turning the ordinary into the extraordinary include the narwhal, a toothed whale that inspired the mythic unicorn, and the mole rat, which lives an extraordinarily long time for a rodent.
