adapted from the Russian film "The Enchanted Islands" produced by Alexander Zguridi.
Commentary by Desmond Morris.

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

A Russian expedition travels to various islands in search of animals developed in isolation, such as the flightless birds of New Zealand and the marsupials of Australia. The expedition also finds other animals that have managed to survive the enveloping wave of civilisation: the Komodo Dragon and the prehistoric Tuatara.
