Shows how the coelacanth, seen underwater for the first time, and the lungfish exhibit characterists essential for life on land. Also examines the remains of extinct, giant amphibians.
"Explains how marine vertebrates developed legs and lungs and were thus able to move onto the land. Describes modern day amphibians, such as the salamanders and frogs."

"This program shows the emergence of land vertebrates and the ways dependencies on water were overcome. It also explores the evolution of amphibians."@en
"Discussion of evolution's transitional stage in which animals with backbones left the seas and became acclimatized to life on the land."@en
"An exploration of the evolution of early amphibians from fish. Explains their dependence on water and their gradual colonization of land."
"David Attenborough guides the viewer through a miniature universe teeming with life, never normally seen, yet all around us. New technology reveals surreal vistas and their extraordinary inhabitants. Though small, these creatures are ferocious. In this segment, delves into the lives of the leopard slug, tin springtails, South African millipedes and the giant bat-eating centipede."@en
