    The forests of the Iberian Peninsula in Europe’s southwest corner are home to some of the most unusual animals on Earth. Every species must fight to survive in these savage lands, but the spring rains are one of the greatest gifts of the year. In this brief window of time, animals seek out the precise breeding conditions that will give their species the best chance of surviving another generation.

    Rivalry defines all life in the forests of the Iberian Peninsula.
