Life along the equator is spectacularly diverse. Equator's Wild Secrets explores the ecosystems and animals which call this place home.
Seven hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador lies a collection of volcanic islands that harbor some of the strangest living things to ever exist. These are the Galapagos Islands.
Two islands are the last strongholds for Southeast Asia's rainforests. Borneo and Sumatra each harbor some of the most unique yet elusive species on Earth.
The Equator runs two thousand five hundred miles across the great continent of Africa. The species that live here are as varied as its landscapes.
Coral reefs of the Asia-Pacific region are the richest on planet Earth. For the weird and wonderful creatures of the oceans rainforests, interdependence is key to survival.
Intersecting the equator, the Ecuadorian Andes are a biodiversity hotspot where jungle dwellers live alongside alpine specialists, all uniquely adapted to survive the extremes of mountain-living.
Every year the world's largest rainforest undergoes an epic transformation. Who survives Amazonia's shift from the dry to the wet and who doesn't.
