You can look, but don’t eat. We may have visually led predators to thank for some of the most dazzling marine species: sea slugs. Luminous greens, blues, pinks, oranges, and even rainbow coloration are all on the cards when it comes to these gastropod mollusks (also known as nudibranchs).

"There has been a bewildering array of different ecological roles for crocodylomorphs, from terrestrial herbivores and hypercarnivores to ocean-going predators," Professor Randall Irmis told IFLScience. Chicxulub, that pesky asteroid, really did a number on the dinosaurs.

The Katavi National Park spans more than 7,800 square kilometers (3,000 square miles) of western Tanzania, and it was here that the filmmakers captured a once-in-a-lifetime event as a severe drought set in following heavy rains. These weather extremes test even the most impressive of wildlife, from lions to crocodiles and hippos.
