What is this episode about

The landscape of East Africa is ever-evolving. Creatures that make it there must be able to adapt to a constantly shifting environment, where one day it could be raining and the next they might be starving.

A home to large animals in numbers unmatched anywhere else on Earth, this extraordinary and varied land features everything from thick forests to snow-capped peaks, steamy swamps to endless savannah. Aside from the ever-present herds, however, there is a vast supporting cast, including lizards that steal flies from the faces of lions, huge dinosaur-like birds that stalk catfish through vast wetlands, and an eagle that bets the farm on the arrival of ten million bats from a distant rainforest.
