Offence versus Defence
Nature's Ultimate Battle for Survival
Some animals attack. Some defend. And some adapt over time (adaptation) to form secret weapons that sound like superhero powers!
Deep in the darkness of an Australian paddock, an extraordinary battle is taking place.
In one corner, a hungry Microbat armed with a remarkable hunting ability. In the other, a Tiger Moth with a few extraordinary defensive tricks of its own.
These two tiny creatures have been locked in an evolutionary arms race for millions of years. Every time one develops a new strategy, the other seems to find a way to counter it.
Senior Field Researcher Tom Bramble joins biologist and entomologist Dr Georgina Binns to investigate this incredible battle of offence and defence.
But that's not all!
Reports have arrived of a horse with zebra stripes. Could such a creature really exist? Children's author Rebecca Green, whose upcoming book A Girl. A Boy. A Horse and a Zorse arrives in November, helps Tom investigate.
Meanwhile, Mia is on Wombat Watch, and our latest Real or Not? guest is a creature with a rather questionable obsession with poo.
Who will win the battle? What's a Zorse? And why is someone bringing a dung beetle a gift?

The investigation begins now!
