Hosted by Bear Grylls, Hostile Planet zooms in on the world’s most extreme environments to reveal the animal kingdom’s epic stories of survival on this fast-changing and continuously evolving planet. In this Hostile Planet compilation from National Geographic, discover the animals that call deserts and the Earth’s poles home. Surviving the Desert - 0:00 How do animals survive in the desert? Desert wildlife relies on specialized adaptations to combat extreme heat, dehydration, and a lack of shade where the sun is the ultimate enemy. For desert animals like the Nubian ibex, Arabian wolf, and brown hyena, to survive in the desert means learning how to deal with the sun’s unrelenting volatility. Polar Habitats - 0:47:07 Polar habitats are similarly enslaved by the sun: half the year is plunged into bitterly cold darkness and hardship, and the other half is blistered with light and heat. What animals live in polar habitats? Polar regions are home to highly resilient species like polar bears, Arctic wolves, emperor penguins, musk ox, and more that are uniquely built to survive months of freezing darkness and sudden seasonal shifts. As the sun exerts its unquestionable dominance, we reveal the incredible ways these wild animals survive.
