Adventures with Endangered Animals is an
immersive encounter with more than 15 unique creatures in danger of being lost
to our world forever. Why do red-crowned cranes dance? How is the Brazilian
three-banded armadillo able to turn into a ball? Why are the northern fur seals
decreasing in number? Swim with the world's largest fish, the whale shark.
Admire the rare and beautiful baiji. And play with the Borneo elephants in the
Kinabatangan River. From the freezing ocean waters to bamboo forests, and from
tropical forests to nature reserves, experience these elusive endangered
creatures as never before!
