China's island province of Hainan is encircled by the warm Pacific Ocean, creating a coastal zone that changes all the time. Sometimes it is land, sometimes it is water. Tested by strong wind, heavy rain and scorching sun, the mangrove is the only tree species that can grow in the intertidal zone. They separate the land from the sea, and yet they glue them together. In this special ecosystem, all living things are intricately connected with stories of life and death.
The dense canopy serves as a hunting ground for Asian weaver ants, the red-clawed crabs fight on the mudflat for food, the Mudskippers often irritate their neighbors while rolling in the mud, and the egrets stand on the branches, waiting for the best time to have a seafood feast. Check out this episode to learn more about the coastal mangrove ecosystem!
