Tangled in the Tides

S2 E2: Around the world, few mangrove forests remain, but in the overgrown marshland of La Encrucijada Reserve in southern Mexico, millions have taken root, including one of the tallest red mangrove trees on Earth. It stands at 130 feet tall…but that’s not its most remarkable feature. See how this big red has adapted to its home of tidal extremes, using a tangled root system to stand above the waterline. Then witness the astonishing array of species that live around this giant, including racer crabs, American crocodiles, green herons, and vultures.
