Planet Shark

Sharks are one of the oldest and successful hunters ever to have lived. With over 500 shark species, they dominate every corner of our oceans; from the tropics to the poles, the open ocean to the deep. What is it about these extraordinary survivors that makes them so successful? For the first time, the world’s leading shark scientists are unlocking their secrets. Featuring newly discovered species, extreme locations and behaviour that’s only recently been recorded, PLANET SHARK takes a timely and fascinating look at the greatest predator on Earth.

Inside The Pack

Wolves, lions, hyenas, meerkats and dolphins are born without the skills they need to hunt and survive. They must learn them all from their pack. Each individual must make their contribution - as a soldier, a leader or a hunter - but they must do it within a social minefield where life is dominated by sexual tension and power struggles. It’s not easy to live INSIDE THE PACK.

Written in Stone

WRITTEN IN STONE is the story of northwestern Canada’s Mount Todagin. It’s known as a “Serengeti in the sky” and yet it was once the ocean’s floor. This ancient seabed vaulted into the sky upon the shoulders of warring mountain ranges. Here on this alpine plateau mowed close by relentless winds, life subsists on the narrowest of margins. But this seemingly inhospitable landscape is home to an exotic species of mountain sheep and the Native peoples who have used this mountain for millennia. This documentary explores how the very minerals that attract the sheep and the indigenous people may also cause them to abandon Mount Todagin…forever.

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.

The Ocean's Greatest Feast

At the start of every winter, the coast of South Africa sees billions of little fish converge in the biggest biomass migration on the planet. It’s the annual sardine run – a literal force of nature that feeds an entire coastline. The sardines ride a cold current through a gauntlet of predators, against all odds of survival - but the purpose of the journey remains a mystery. They race past a hungry seal colony, endure an aerial assault by gannets and face hungry sharks. When dolphins show up, the feast kicks into even higher gear, before orcas arrive with a final surprise. Watch this yearly wild run in OCEAN'S GREATEST FEAST. Narrated by Graham McTavish.

America's Wild Border: Northern Exposure

America's northern border with Canada encompasses a remarkable range of habitats and weather extremes, from desert to tundra, grassland to rainforest, ocean to lake. They are home to epic migrations and a diversity of wildlife, where, for much of the route, nature’s inhabitants are only constrained by the challenges of the terrain and the changing seasons. But as we follow a year in the northern borderlands, we discover that even in the absence of a physical border, the political boundary poses many problems for wild residents.
