Series 1: 3. The Bat
How did the bat get so hungry? Chris Packham sets out to answer a deceptively simple question: how the drive to find food shaped life on earth and gave rise to one of nature’s most insatiable feeders. This is the story of the origin of bums, guts, jaws and super hearing, and a 500-million-year chain of innovation, survival and hunger.
