Animals At Play

Across the planet, young animals spend huge amounts of time playing – but it’s a behaviour that has long been overlooked by science. Now new research reveals that play is at the heart of almost everything an animal learns. In ANIMALS AT PLAY we uncover why play is so much more than just having a good time.

Mega Disaster

The Earth’s titanic forces can rip apart the land, homes and people’s lives. This series exposes their killer characteristics and why they can be so devastating.

Coral City

CORAL CITY takes viewers inside the vibrant, bustling ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef, one of the planet’s largest and most biodiverse natural wonders. Like a bustling city, the reef is home to distinct “neighborhoods” – coral, lagoon, sand cay, and coastal rainforest – each with its own rhythms, influenced by the tides, time of day, and changing seasons. This stunning documentary series reveals how the four seasons drive the behaviors, feeding patterns, and life cycles of the marine creatures that call the reef home. From the dramatic coral spawning in Spring to the Summer’s intense phytoplankton bloom and the autumn struggles of over-heated waters, CORAL CITY captures the ebb and flow of life in one of the world’s most intricate ecosystems. Each season brings its challenges, triumphs, and moments of breathtaking beauty, making it clear why the Great Barrier Reef is both fragile and vital to the planet’s future.

Woodpeckers: The Hole Story

There are over 240 species of woodpeckers. They live on every continent except Antarctica and Australia. Woodpeckers come in all shapes and sizes, each uniquely engineered for their particular lifestyles. Some are sap drinkers, others live exclusively in forests ravaged by fire. Others catch insects on the wing acting more like a swallow than a woodpecker. And still others drill deep into the bark of decaying trees using their spear like tongue to fish insects from deep in the cambium. WOODPECKERS: THE HOLE STORY pecks away at what makes woodpeckers so special. We will follow intimate stories of two very different families raising their young, explore woodpeckers’ unique evolutionary journey and the powerful role they play in every ecosystem they inhabit.

399: Queen Of The Tetons

For nearly two decades, Grizzly 399 has been a fixture in Grand Teton National Park. Known only by her research number, 399 has become the world's most famous — and most photographed — grizzly in the world. The film follows 399 as she struggles to raise her cubs in the face of human encroachment, a rapidly changing climate, and threat of losing her protection under the Endangered Species Act. The film explores 399’s life through those closest to her, including world-renowned nature photographer Thomas Mangelsen, activist Jane Goodall, grizzly biologist Dr. Chris Servheen, NPS park rangers, cattle ranchers, and even the man who survived an attack by 399 and her cubs. 399: QUEEN OF THE TETONS uses beautiful wildlife footage, a 15 year achive of photographs, viral video and original footage to examine an urgent and contentious debate over the future of an iconic American species through the life of one exceptional mama bear.
