David Attenborough's Conquest of the Skies
Rivals
Season 1 Episode 2 of 3
The veteran naturalist visits the jungles of Borneo to meet creatures that like to glide through life - the harlequin tree frog and the little-known colugo - often referred to, incorrectly, as a flying lemur. He also has a CGI-assisted encounter with the first true vertebrate flyer, the pterosaur, receives a flying lesson from a small flock of swans at Loch Lomond in Scotland and encounters the planet's largest species of bat
David Attenborough's Conquest of the Skies airs on Sky Nature at 6:00 PM, Saturday 19 October. (Subtitles, audio description.)
