In Galápagos Islands: The World’s Living Laboratory, the scenes teem with life, utilising a rich palette and painterly feel to help make the topics understandable and exciting. Amy said:

“I found it super interesting learning how the different islands had such a big impact on the features of each animal, such as the shape and colour of the tortoises shells. Also that there is a type of finch that drinks blood, Vampire Finches!”
