New Year, New Adventures on Da Vinci Learning Coming to TV Da Vinci Learning in January 2014 We humans are just one of millions of forms of life on Earth, and by most objective measures—size, speed, population, for example, we are lucky to find ourselves ranked above average. Sure we can build great civilizations and read and write, but we aren’t the only earthly inhabitants with extraordinary talents and traits. Four new shows, premiering on Da Vinci Learning this January, venture to unexpected places to meet some of the most beautiful, strange and inspiring creatures with which we share our planet.
Sky Hunters – The World of Dragonfly

One of the fastest flying insects on Earth, the dragonfly is difficult to catch up with. But having been fluttering about wetlands since the age of the dinosaurs, they have quite a story to tell. With underwater photography and time-lapse sequencing, this revealing documentary traces the life span of a dragonfly, from submerged larva to fully-developed flying adult. See how these acrobatic predators live their lives in the fast lane, snaring their prey out of thin air and even mating on the fly. Sky Hunters presents the colourful world of the dragonfly.
