Chris Packham investigates mysteries and new discoveries from the natural world. He solves the puzzle of strange balls of worms on a road and fish stuck in fences in Texas.

Chris also explores how a robot could help save the Great Barrier Reef, why eagles might be the best defence against dangerous drones and how the discovery of a spider in the Sahara could take us to other planets.
