From the infinitesimal to the largest predator, from the worm to the whale, from the grass leaf to the giant tree, “living” takes viewers to explore the biodiversity of France. It is an exploration of the pyramid of life, through the breathtaking natural environments that France hosts, but also and above all, a proposal to marvel at these subtly interconnected species with thousands of skills. …
one country
With 500,000 km of waterways, 5,800 km of coastline and 17 million hectares of forest, or more than 30% of its surface, metropolitan France has the richest natural diversity in Europe! On vertical cliffs where deep-sea birds like penguins spawn, or gluing grains of sand together for protection, these sea worms hide in unexpected places as well as in sand blocks formed by hermels.
Rehabilitate the Unloved
Some animal or plant species are not given much credit. But it has its uses. Bats, for example, are true insectivores that can consume 3,000 insects in a single night. Posidonia, a weed that covers more than 2 million hectares in the Mediterranean, has roots that can hold eight times more carbon than forest soils. Vultures, on the other hand, feed on dead animals, preventing them from spreading germs and causing epidemics.
Basic parade of love
This movie also reveals the tricks of animals and nature to encourage reproduction. Some plants are decorated with flowers so that butterflies, bees, and other insects can come and pollinate them. In deer, antlers can grow up to 3 cm per day to attract deer’s attention. It’s not stupid!
