Into the Wild: Colombia

Follow the journey of Julieta, a female golden dart frog in search of her Romeo. She must dodge countless dangers and battle the harsh elements if she hopes to find a mate to fertilize her eggs. The jungle is full of peril, and Julieta is just two inches long and less than an ounce in weight, but don't underestimate her powers: a single drop of the toxin that coats her skin is enough to stop a human heart.

Know what this is about?

Spend a year on the flat savannas of the Colombian Llanos, a vast grassland ruled by seasonal extremes that push existence to the brink. When the wet season hits, savage heat and crippling drought are swiftly replaced by torrential floods. Delve into the lives of the creatures who call this unforgiving arena home, like capybara, caiman, and predatory birds. For these hardened warriors, every day is a constant battle to survive.

With stunning, iridescent colors and wings that can beat 50 times per second, hummingbirds are one of the most exquisite species on the planet. There's no better place to see them than in the Colombian Andes, home to over 150 species of hummingbirds--more than anywhere else in the world. Follow these tireless fliers through the mountain wilderness as they battle freezing rain, evade jungle predators, raise their chicks, and engage in an endless search for nectar.
