Experience 24 hours in the life of a rock pool and discover that you don't have to go to the Sahara Desert or the South Pole to find the world's most hostile environment, just head for the beach! This enlightening program reveals how rock pools are one of the most dynamic arenas in the natural world, as well as one of the harshest arenas for evolution on earth. Where else would inhabitants endure flood, famine, drought and predators each and every day, and develop survival superpowers like re-growing lost limbs or disemboweling themselves to escape predators? In the rock pool, extraordinary anatomies and mind-boggling adaptations are the norm
