Frogs and toads are great survivors. They've been on earth since before the dinosaurs and live in every imaginable environment, from the Amazon (where beautiful means poisonous), to the Canadian Arctic (where frozen bodies come back to life) to the deserts of Australia (where going without food or water for six years is normal!). A fascinating story of how frogs and toads use their skins to get by.

Filmed in the nature reserves of the mixed bamboo forests of the Sleeping Dragon Mountains in Sichuan province, central China. Focuses on the predicament of the giant panda and on the lesser-known red panda. The giant panda's digestive system is more suited to meat eating yet, because it feeds almost exclusively on bamboo, which has a low nutritional value, the animal must feed virtually around the clock to survive. Other animals that live in the forests include parrot bills, bamboo rats, golden monkeys, tufted deer, wild dogs, golden pheasants and the takin - a distant relative of the musk ox. The giant salamander, known as the water dragon, the world's largest amphibian is also to be found in the area.
