The Mystery of the Pink Dolphin

Eric Ellena

Hiding in a narrow branch of a river, deep within the Amazon rain forest, is a strange animal that one wouldn't expect to find here, thousands of kilometers away from the ocean: the Pink River Dolphin, one of the most mysterious and extraordinary species of the animal kingdom. Where does it come from? How different is it from other dolphins? How was it able to adapt to this lush, tropical rain forest environment? Are they descendants of a marine species, or do they belong to an entirely separate lineage born in ancient times? Scientists have been struggling to reconstruct the evolutionary course of this long overlooked creature. Now thanks to a recent discovery, they are finally able to retrace its origins and its incredible adaptation that has spanned over 25 million years. Join them on this remarkable scientific adventure as they unravel the mystery of the pink dolphin...

Le Mystère des géants disparus

Eric Ellena, Paul-Aurélien Combre

When a huge meteorite crashed into the earth 66 million years ago and caused the disappearance of the dinosaurs, some of the planet’s tiniest species survived the cataclysm, and—against all odds—eventually became some of the greatest giants to ever roam the earth. From the poles of the planet to the belly of the equator, this documentary sheds new light on four giant animals that are still a great mystery to science today: the Titanoboa snake, the Megalodon shark, the giant rhinoceros and the giant sloth.
