Episode overview
More than 1000 kilometers off the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands form an amazing archipelago in the middle of the Pacific. Rangers and scientists fight day after day to preserve this unique extraordinary fauna, remnant of a bestiary millions of years old. The Galapagos and its volcanoes are home to unique animal species that have developed away from the outside world, on islands that humans have only occupied for a short time. The northern part of the archipelago is visited by the largest fish in the world, the whale shark, a prehistoric species weighing over 30 tons. Curious to see a large concentration of whale shark females, scientists hypothesize that they come here to give birth and take advantage of the nutrient-rich water, brought by the cold currents, to feed their young.
