Synopsis
On the Costa Rican coast, an Olive Ridley turtle returns to lay her eggs, part of a cycle that has persisted for 30 million years. Only 10% of hatchlings survive as they face threats from predators and environmental changes. In the frigid waters, orca pods hunt herring, using coordinated tactics to capture their prey. Meanwhile, rockhopper penguins navigate stormy waves to feed their chicks. Rising sea temperatures push fish to cooler waters, forcing marine animals to adapt to a rapidly changing environment.
