Description
David Attenborough meets the omnivores - the opportunists. They are nature's generalists but each is equipped with specialized skills. North American raccoons use their sense of touch to find food in murky streams at night. The babirusa from Sulawesi uses its sense of smell to locate the smallest amount of fallen fruit in its dense forest habitat. Skunks descend into hostile cave environments to feed on baby bats that have fallen from the cave ceilings. David follows grizzly bears and explains how they manage to gain enough weight to survive half a year without food. Finally, he looks at the Kumbh Mela festival in central India as an example of the most successful omnivores of all--humans.
