[00:00:01]The winds that pummel this land are some of the fiercest on [music] the planet.

[00:00:07]For many Patagonian insects, flight is not an option [music] in this wind-whipped world.

[00:00:13]They'd be blown out to sea if they took to the air.

[00:00:16]So, they've adapted to life close to the ground.

[00:00:21]But, there's more than the wind to worry about.

[00:00:24]A Patagonian skunk forages for a meal.

[00:00:29]She's not a fussy eater.

[00:00:32]She will dine on anything she can lay her paws on.

[00:00:35]From rodents and lizards to insects and even carrion.

[00:00:40]A beetle can run.

[00:00:44]And try hiding.

[00:00:47]But, the skunk's claws are built to dig.

[00:00:50]And the soft, sandy soil offers little protection.

[00:00:55]Only a pair of amorous weevils is lucky enough to escape this skunk's feeding frenzy.
