A Horizon presentation of seven programmes on animal life
One-seventh of the total land surface of the earth is desert, forbidding, inhospitable. Under the relentless sun it seems that nothing can live. Yet these desolate wastes often contain life that has adjusted to the extremes of heat and cold.
This week's Eye on Life film examines the Mexican Sonoran desert where, almost miraculously, a rich variety of plants and animals lives. How do they survive -the hawks, the bobcats, and the vipers? 'Life in Parched Lands' takes a close look at the stark hit beautiful desert.

But his efforts were not in vain
His paddle-steamer brought him fame.
