Ant Ambush, the Frozen Frog, and I located the moonwalking mating dance of some South American jungle bird. Well, I didn't locate video, only a hot lead. The episode also includes an interesting spatial twist on evolutionary theory, comparing different rainforests' canopy structures and investigating how they relate to the animals that live there, illustrating this via Borneo's uniqely tall and spacious canopy as the driving force behind the myriad of flying (on a rib and a prayer...who could it be. Believe it or not, its just me), or gliding, creatures that can only be found there. Darwin's prediction of a specialized moth coming true is pretty cool as well.
