Synopsis by Rose of Sharon Winter

This BBC video, hosted by naturalist David Attenborough, is part of a series that looks at the complex world of plant behavior. With high-speed photography, the film shows the world of plants as most people have never seen it. Gardens and forests are shown to be war zones in which offensive and defensive tactics are constantly taking place. This volume illustrates some of the tactics used by successful plant species in their battle for survival. Camouflage, mimicry, deception, and all-out attack are some of the strategies on display in this illuminating video.
