Tropical Worlds

BBC One - The Green Planet, Series 1, Tropical Worlds

The world of tropical forests, from fast-growing trees to flowers that mimic dead animals.

Tropical rainforests are plant battlegrounds. New filming techniques allow us to enter the world of plants to see it from their perspective and on their timescale.

More kinds of plants are crammed together in the tropical rainforests than anywhere else on Earth. The result is astonishing beauty and intense competition - a plant battleground. New filming techniques allow us to enter the plants’ world and see it from their perspective and on their timescale. From fast-growing trees to flowers that mimic dead animals, this is a journey into a magical world that operates on a different timescale to our own.
