Clever, camouflaged, or seductive – animals and plants are among nature’s greatest talents.
This three-part natural history series portrays behaviour, tricks and looks which have inspired some of our greatest inventions. Presenting wildlife from all over the world in a new perspective: ’Nature’s Greatest Talents’ combines ’The Art of Seduction’, nature’s ’Masters of Disguise’ and tops it off with the ultimate question: Who is ’Smart & Smarter’?

Smart and Smarter
Navigation without a map? No problem. Building a fortress out of living bodies? Check. The animal kingdom is filled with creative solutions for staying safe, building homes or catching prey. And it’s not only the great big mammals that excel. Birds are also considered to be massively intelligent and insects can perform real miracles.

The Art of Seduction
Life is filled with magical moments. Some are extra-special. An enticing look, a sexy move, an explicit signal; in the animal world every species has its own flirtatious code to find the right mate. Success is only guaranteed if the seducer has done his homework and knows how to apply ‘The Art of Seduction.’

Masters of Disguise
In nature, appearances can be deceptive. Whether hidden in the undergrowth or out in the open, thanks to the colour of their skin, fur or feathers, animals from all corners of the Earth can become invisible. Size is no obstacle for these wild magicians, from tiny insects to the mega-mammals of the African plains.
