Program Description:

In this lowland tropical rainforest area of Costa Rica where the climate is warm and moist and rainfall is over 10 feet a year, bio-diversity is the catchword; there are so many different species, that rarity is the rule not the exception. As naturalist Sue Ellen Fast wanders through the forest discovering the adaptation secrets of the wildlife that live high in the canopy or down on the ground, she encounters a profusion of species: poison dart frogs, an agouti, sloths, fruit bats, bullet ants, and even the most feared of poisonous snakes - the fer de lance viper!
