Still image from: Mediterranean: Life Under Siege (Episode 1)

For many creatures living in or around the Mediterranean Sea, the natural urge to reproduce is all-consuming. This groundbreaking natural history documentary follows some of these animals as they push their bodies to the brink in order to give birth. Loggerhead turtles travel thousands of miles to lay their eggs in the place they too were born, while white storks risk everything to find a mate. Part of the "Mediterranean: Life Under Siege" series.
