“As dawn breaks over the Namib Desert, life begins to stir… in the most unlikely of places.” The beetle pauses, then raises its hind legs into the air. “This… is the fog-basking beetle. A creature no larger than your thumbnail, yet it performs one of nature’s most extraordinary rituals.” Fog rolls in over the dunes. “Each morning, as the cold Atlantic air meets the burning desert sands, a delicate mist forms—rare moisture in this parched world. And the beetle knows exactly what to do.” Close-up of water droplets collecting on the beetle’s back. “By angling its body just right, the beetle harvests tiny droplets of water. The moisture condenses and runs down grooves in its exoskeleton… straight to its mouth.” The beetle drinks. “A single drink… enough to survive another scorching day.” Pause. The music swells slightly.
