Pollination, predation, parasitism, symbiosis, biological interactions between species are incessant and essential to nature. They are even at the origin of the incredible biodiversity of our planet. To take advantage of others and often do what they cannot do themselves, living beings have had to evolve, innovate and invent. Imagination in this field knows no limits. For example, insects are the ones who gather flowers. They feed themselves and ensure the multiplication of flowers by dispersing pollen. Butterflies that lay their eggs only on certain species of plants. Trees that allow mushrooms to flourish in the shade of their branches. Each species is dependent on another, and to touch one of them is to endanger all the others.

Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern is a travel and cuisine television show hosted by Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel. The first season debuted on Monday, February 26, 2007 at 9pm ET/PT. Bizarre Foods focuses on regional cuisine from around the world which is typically perceived by Americans as being disgusting, exotic, or bizarre. In each episode, Zimmern focuses on the cuisine of a particular country or region. He typically shows how the food is procured, where it is served, and, usually without hesitation, eats it. Originally a one-hour documentary titled Bizarre Foods of Asia, repeated showings on the Travel Channel drew consistent, considerable audiences. In late 2006, it was decided to turn the documentary into a weekly, one-hour show with the same premise and with Andrew Zimmern as the host. In 2009, Zimmern took a break from Bizarre Foods to work on one season of the spin-off Bizarre World.
