A pristine river in Quebec is granted rights through legal personhood, protecting it and those who call it home.

Find out if science can ease the human conditions of loss, rejection, and unrequited love.

Sound is the difference between finding a meal and becoming one. At night in the deserts of Arizona, the kangaroo rat uses hollow spaces in its skull to amplify the faintest sounds — including the rustle of its deadliest predator, the rattlesnake.

Sound is used to impress, find a mate, and fight off a rival. In the forests of eastern Australia, the male lyrebird, one of the greatest mimics of the natural world, attempts to wow a female with his complex song – including the sounds of other birds and a car alarm. In the vast grasslands of Alberta, male sharp-tailed grouse gather to put on an elaborate dance routine to attract a female – complete with rattling tail feathers and popping neck sacks. And on the west coast of Washington State, a fish called the male plainfin midshipman attempts to convince a female to lay her eggs in his nest by singing her a love song.

Using the latest technology, "Sounds of Nature" brings viewers to a world beyond their own, discovering secrets hidden until now; director: Bridget Appleby.
