Boyd Matson travels to Egypt's Western Desert, once an immense ocean, where 400 whale skeletons are buried beneath the sand, including the basilosaurus, an archaic whale species which may further the evolutionary story of whales.

Join a 24-hour inventory of living organisms in Rock Creek Park, Washington, D.C.: 600 species amid diverse wilderness. The Sahara's shifting sands are swallowing Africa's Mauritania, and its capital city, Nouakchott. With the help of the acacia tree and simple ingenuity, Mauritania's people are fighting back. |
