Boss Shark

Scientists have little understanding of the social dynamics of great white sharks. Normally lone hunters, they congregate at certain times of the year and suddenly become social creatures. For the first time, shark experts Dr Riley Elliott and Kori Burkhardt host a thrilling competition unlike any other, aiming to uncover which male great white shark reigns as the alpha in the pack. This unique showdown tests the sharks’ speed, hunting prowess, and fearlessness to uncover the leader of the pack who will get first mating rights with the big females when breeding season begins. Throughout the competition five key sharks go head-to-head in a series of contests, while the massive females - up to twice the size of the males - watch and judge. BOSS SHARK dives deep to observe never-before-seen shark behaviour.

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.

Cub Camp

Judy and Roger Stearns, ordinary people with a little bit of land and a lot of heart, run Black Bear Rescue Manitoba. Every spring they welcome in orphaned black bear cubs to their 10-acre facility. All of the cubs arrive deeply traumatized and alone, with some cubs being so young that they are blind and helpless. But with the round-the-clock care provided by the Stearns, including bottle feeding at all hours, these baby bears gradually recover and even thrive. As they grow, they develop distinct personalities, and learn the skills they need to survive. And, in the fall, the group of healthy and confident cubs are ready to return to the wilderness, having grown up under the safe wing of CUB CAMP.
