Desert Survivors: Red Kangaroos and Down Under's Wildest Creatures | Full Documentary

Their kingdom is the desert: in the heart of Australia lives the largest marsupial on earth, the red kangaroo. Months of drought, blistering heat and a few patches of dry grass – to live here you need to have your wits about you. Australia’s wildlife has no shortage of bizarre survival strategies, as this episode of the five-part series WILD AUSTRALIA spectacularly proves. Loaded with muscle, the ‘red giants’ hop through the Outback on their strong rear legs – in fact an extremely energy-saving method of moving in the desert. Just as energy efficient are the honeypot ants: these ants are gorged with nectar by their fellow worker ants, before hanging down from the ceiling of the anthill to act as supply honeypots to be tapped during dry spells. Even budgerigars are experts of adaption to desert life: the bright green mini-parrots gather in giant flocks at the few watering holes, where birds of prey lie in wait – and a life-or-death struggle ensues… The filming of the series “WILD AUSTRALIA” took three years. Renowned wildlife filmmakers Thoralf Grospitz and Jens Westphalen used specialized macro- and super slow motion HD cameras to portray the animal kingdom down under. This is Australia as you’ve never seen it before!
