Superquark Temporada 21 Episodios 4 • Sub Español

Episodio 1

The first episode of SuperQuark opens with a beautiful BBC documentary that tells of a journey into the intelligence of our closest relatives in nature: primates. They represent an incredibly large family, and to observe them we will go to various parts of the world. In India, Madagascar, Borneo, even Peru. From the tiny Pygmy monkey, no bigger than a tennis ball, to the large Technicolor mandrill. For the first time we will see them all together, in a sort of parade, to discover how different but at the same time similar they are. Orangutans, bonobos, macaques will show not only their talents but also how they know how to adapt to new situations. There are now so many drones, the pilots stay on the ground and fly these reconnaissance planes to look for smugglers and drug traffickers. But would you have ever thought that someone is trying to send civilian passengers into flight without a pilot too?

Episodio 5

SuperQuark goes to Alaska, the place where, thanks to a protection policy, there is the highest concentration of grizzlies. These large bears can only find food for half the year, the other half they will have to live holed up, consuming the fat accumulated during the summer. For this reason it is important to be able to settle in the right territories, those richest in food. But since they all have the same need, competitions and clashes often arise. The BBC documentary makers remained isolated in these lands for 5 months, to film the grizzlies in action, also taking risks. The result is a very close portrait of these gigantic bears, also through a family story: that of a bear who must not only accumulate fat, but defend her cub. Next we will investigate the Rosetta space mission, the probe that will land on the tail of a comet next August. Then Paco Lanciano and Piero Angela in the studio will show how the Foucault pendulum works.

Episodio 8

The documentary of the eighth episode of SuperQuark will have as its protagonist the most likeable animal, the funniest, but endowed with exceptional qualities and great courage, its characteristics are special: it walks upright, has no legs, has wings, but does not fly in the air but under water. It is naturally the penguin. Made in the very harsh and freezing areas of Antarctica, what the documentary tells is a kind of family story of a king penguin, who at the age of three returns to the island on which he was born, called by the instinct of reproduction. An overcrowded island, inhabited by 6 million penguins. There he must find his life partner, with whom he will have to generate that single egg that will represent the only chance of his offspring. The great circulation of travellers in the world has also created a great circulation of viruses that can spread rapidly.
