Dive into the extraordinary journeys of six tiny animals.
To film the story of the chameleon’s journey to find a mate, and ultimately lay her eggs, the Big Little Journeys team travelled to the most remote filming location of the series – Kirindy Forest, in western Madagascar. Here, Producer Valeria Fabbri-Kennedy reveals what it took to film the chameleon's journey.The chameleon’s journey is extremely short from a human perspective and their lives are only a few months long, programmed to expire before the dry season arrives.
Every year a generation of female chameleons complete journeys, to find a mate, and ultimately to lay their eggs, just in time before they all die en-masse, along with the males. For six months of the year, through the harsh dry season, all that remains of this ephemeral species, are thousands of eggs beneath the soil. Time capsules that are specially evolved to wait until the rains return before they hatch, and a whole new generation emerges.
