Sudan is the very last male Northern White Rhino. His amazing story is told through the global cast of people involved in Sudan's life of 43 years. He was aged 2 when snatched from his mom's side in Central Africa and became a prized exhibit in a zoo behind the Iron Curtain while the rest of his kind was poached to extinction. Now Sudan is the focus of an 11th hour battle to save his sub-species.

An exploration of the diversity of moths and butterflies from caterpillars to larva to chrysalis to winged flight. Camouflage and other anti-predatory tactics and uniqueness of different species and amazing feats and colors are detailed.

The complex science behind the behavior of animals that rebel, including and alpha chimpanzee, a manipulative crab and a dolphin with a pufferfish drug problem.

Some animals will do whatever it takes to survive. Cockatoos turn to vandalism, boxer crabs hold anemones hostage, sloths become filthy, puff adders have an 'invisibility cloak' to hide themselves, and chimps use violence to stay in power.

Getting ahead in the mating game requires some astonishing behavior from promiscuous prairie dogs, to backstabbing manakins, kidnapping macaques, and hyenas with a bad case of sibling rivalry.
