In short: Explore the dense biodiversity of Costa Rica and Panama, where life thrives in a competitive vertical landscape. This documentary captures the delicate balance of jungle ecosystems, from ancient reptiles to the predatory depths of the ocean.
The documentary highlights Costa Rica's unique geography, where nearly half of the nation is covered by rain forest. It showcases a wide array of fauna, including the White-faced Capuchin, Macaws, Veruga Parakeets, and Tapirs, alongside lizards that have inhabited the region since primeval times.
