Episode 8 of 8

Duration: 57 minutes

Coasts, the boundary between land and sea is an exciting place, with animals constantly coming and going. From the open oceans, millions of seabirds are forced to come into land to breed. Sea eagles steal kittiwake chicks from their nesting ledges. Turtles lay their eggs in the sand and marine mammals haul themselves out to fight on the beaches. Sealions emerge from the kelp to give birth while killer whales come crashing in on the surf to snatch the sealion's young.
