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. De l’Arctique à la Namibie, du Costa Rica aux Etats-Unis, du Canada au Mexique, de la France à l’Inde, ce voyage visuel prouve que le poil est une invention géniale du vivant : bouclier thermique, arme de chasse ou camouflage, il a façonné la vie animale sur Terre.
