Episode 7

Overview

In the seventh episode of SuperQuark with David Attenborough we will enter the labyrinths of courtship among animals. In species where the game is played by two, the male, in order to be accepted and to be able to fertilize the female, must show all his qualities, in tournaments in which he competes with other competitors. There are those who strut, those who sing, those who dance, those who show off their strength, and often they also have to fight. We will see how a polar bear must fight hard to conquer his female. They are stories of clandestine love and also of devotion. Like that of a lizard, tender and faithful to the end. The paths of love (and courtship) are infinite. The new technologies that allow us to keep under control, from Rome, the invasions of locusts, still a real scourge today, in 25 countries in Africa and Asia. In the report by Giovanni Carrada and Giulia De Francovich. Healers and supporters of alternative treatments always offer us new remedies.
