Why Are Some Animals Attracted to Volcanic Eruptions?
This film explores how animals on New Britain, off the coast of Papua New Guinea, have adapted to live alongside active volcanoes. It reveals the surprising ways wildlife thrives amid ash, heat, and eruption, even nesting in volcanically warmed ground. The science of survival on a restless island makes for a striking story. It is a fascinating watch about nature's resilience and the strange bond between animals and the Earth's fiery moods. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
