Earth is full of animals doing extraordinary things in plain sight. Quokka Docs: Amazing Real Animals takes curious kids on a globe-spanning safari to meet ten of them, from the misunderstood shark to the armor-plated armadillo. Along the way, discover how cats hunt in silence, how lizards detach their tails to escape, how butterflies taste with their feet, and how bats see with sound. It's the real natural world, told with the wonder it deserves, and the science to back every wild fact.

Meet the real animals that make Earth wild. From the silent stalk of a cat to the secret scales of a butterfly's wing, Quokka Docs uncovers the surprising science behind ten of the most fascinating creatures sharing the planet with us.

From sharks to armadillos, meet the real-life animals that make Earth a wild and wonderful place.
