Red Crabs Crazy Ants

Christmas Island is home to the yearly mass migration of red crabs. Each year many of the crabs fall victim to the alien yellow crazy ants. These ants release formic acid as they crawl over and around the crabs which, with no defence against the ferocity of the onslaught, become stressed and generally die within a few hours.

Africa's Underwater Wonders

Our planet is made up of seemingly countless seas and oceans, yet to this day so many of their enigmas remain unexplored. AFRICA’S UNDERWATER WONDERS cameras dive into the depths unlike ever before, to explore the treasure trove of fauna, flora and vital ecosystems that make their home under the sea.

Trimates

Narrated by award-winning actress Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy, Killing Eve), TRIMATES is a documentary for the whole family. This is a story of two generations of women: the young pioneers - Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey and Birute Galdikas - who set out into the jungles over half a century ago to live with our closest ancestors, the great apes. This is also the story of a generation who followed their articles, transfixed by their stories and determined to follow the same distant paths. Featuring an original musical score, and up-close and personal footage filmed by one of the world’s most renowned natural history cinematographers, this film takes us deep into the jungles and mountains of Uganda, Borneo and Congo, as we explore the frontiers of important research and our human origins.

Great Parks of Africa

Experience exhilarating cliff-side vistas, stunning succulent flora, vast arid deserts, lush wetlands and amazing animal populations across more than 4 million hectares of parkland in GREAT PARKS OF AFRICA, a series that illustrates the remarkable diversity of the continent’s epic parks.

Wild Sky

The skies above our planet never stop moving. Wind, rain, drought and blizzards shape the lives of every living thing. The polar vortex provides hunting opportunities for polar bears and fuels tornadoes dodged by prairie dogs and wolves. In South America a mysterious river of clouds brings life-giving rain to frogs and monkeys, while flamingos and puma eke out a living in the rain shadow. In Africa elephants, meerkats and lions choose different strategies to deal with drought, while in Australia the monsoon baths crocodiles and kangaroos. As weather sweeps across four continents, creatures find ingenious solutions to survive our planet’s WILD SKY.

Animal Senses

From the earliest primitive life forms to sophisticated animals like mammals, primates and birds, animals have evolved powerful senses to perceive their environment. These developed senses can turn mechanical waves, airborne particles, and photons into information that helps animals find food, shelter, mates, and communicate with each other. ANIMAL SENSES traces the evolutionary history of those senses.

Neu Earth

Neu Earth is a place and a time where humanity has triumphed against climate change. What does Neu Earth look like? The answer unfolds through the investigations of a future historian living in 2050 and looking back in time. Key global innovations become apparent: controversial cloud manipulation experiments, the enhancing of photosynthesis to create food and energy, and innovations in construction with bamboo and fungi. Efforts to capture carbon dioxide directly also loom large. The future historian discovers the origins of an atmospheric filtration system, and the development of methods to capture carbon by land, soil and sea.

Wild Antarctica

Antarctica is the most remote and pristine wilderness on the planet. It is a timeless and harsh land like no other. Night here can last three months and in the peak of summer, the sun never sets. To understand how life can exist in this continent of snow and icebergs we must spend a year there. We discover that despite being the least habitable place on Earth, life abounds in Antarctica. Megafauna such as humpback whales and orcas, massive seals and stately penguins all take the brutal conditions head on and thrive in this year on ice.

The Magic Circle Of The Reef

The Coral Triangle is the reef containing the highest diversity of marine and coral species of our planet. This reef has created an ecosystem of its own and manages to thrive despite external aggressions, creating a feeding magic circle among species. THE MAGIC CIRCLE OF THE REEF shows us this magical ecosystem; a closed and self-sufficient circle that captivates with its beauty and serenity.
