Rivers of the Sun (1x2)

Air date: Aug 07, 2009

The mighty Amazon River is the life blood of a forest. For half a year freshwater fish flourish in floodwaters that rise amongst the trees, then the waters retreat and the fish must face a six-month drought. The ancient Amazon has endured, and is both a time capsule for ancient animals and a hot house for the evolution of new species.
