Malice in Wonderland: A Coral Reef Drama
(1994)
Malice in Wonderland: A Coral Reef Drama is an intriguing account of the Red Sea’s underwater ‘cities’, delving under their seemingly calm exterior to reveal a world rife with trickery and corruption. Specially modified cameras record dawn and dusk in a land where all life seems to either attack, or cunningly avoid, other species.
Lionfish patiently wait to ambush their prey, cleaner wrasses warily attend to groupers and a cornetfish attack sparks pandemonium in a silverside shoal. Through the world-famous cinematography of the BBC Natural History Unit, David Attenborough brings to life this extraordinary world of strange intelligence, trickery and ruthless predation.
