Discover the dark and mysterious creatures of the night, whose super-sensory powers allow them to live and survive in the shadows. Then switch the lens to step into daylight, where the heat of the sun supercharges the secret lives of creatures big and small.

Finally, use the third lens to reveal the luscious plant life of every habitat as you travel through a jungle, a reef, grasslands, and woodland. Uncover a world that never sleeps with Milan-based design-duo, Carnovsky.
