Australia's Red Centre Nature's Microworlds : Season 2 Episode 6

Steve's team investigates Australia's Red Centre, a huge, hot desert colored by iron ore. Its wildlife mainly stems from before tectonic drift made the once lush freest-covered continent dry up but adapted remarkably well and originally, with iconic species like the extremely numerous red kangaroos, and a remarkably abundance of reptilians. Key to the food-chain however are insects, notably termites, which are capable to digest the specialized, drought-resistant grass which constitutes the only relatively abundant vegetation and is rejuvenated by frequent fires.
