Evolution (2026)

S1E3 The Bat

Chris Packham investigates the relentless urge to feed and how it has sculpted the animal kingdom. He traces the evolution of essential bodily machinery—from the first digestive systems to powerful jaws and the mysterious emergence of the posterior. The series reveals how the constant hunt for sustenance drove the development of extraordinary senses, including the remarkable super-hearing that allows bats to navigate and hunt in total darkness.
