What is hair really for? From ants to polar bears, from crabs to whales, hair — fur, bristles or baleen — is almost everywhere in the animal kingdom. A masterpiece of natural engineering, scientists reveal the hidden powers of fur and hair. A journey across the animal world to uncover how this essential feature helps animals survive, adapt and thrive.
ALL ABOUT FUR is a natural historical journey exploring the extraordinary diversity of animal hair and its often overlooked functions, across the wild landscapes of the animal kingdom worldwide. This documentary series examines the role of hair through three fundamental challenges of life: facing the climate, feeding, and defending. From Antarctica to Namibia, Costa Rica, the U.S., Canada, Mexico, France, all the way to India, this visual journey is proof that fur is one of nature’s most ingenious inventions: whether serving as a thermal shield, a hunting tool, or camouflage, it has shaped animal life on Earth.
