The World About Us: Beauty and the Beasts

on BBC Two England

A series of films, from all over the world about our astonishing planet and the creatures that live on it.

A flower unfurls, a beautiful butterfly emerges from a chrysalis, and the whiplash tongue of a chameleon is slowed down. By using stop and slow motion camera techniques, Italian film-maker Fernando Armati reveals many secrets of nature that would normally be invisible to the naked eye.
