How The Wild Things Sleep
Everybody does it differently – but everybody does it: enormous elephants do it for only two hours a day, while tiny bees snooze up to 10 hours daily. Some birds spend 300 days a year up in the air and sleep on the wing. HOW THE WILD THINGS SLEEP explores some of the most extreme sleepers on Earth, as scientists investigate and dig deeper into understanding this incredibly important part of life. How do animals deal with sleep deprivation or the danger of being unconscious while predators roam? These are some of the baffling questions tackled in HOW THE WILD THINGS SLEEP.

Ireland's Wild Islands
Crossing The Line
2 x 60' Blue Chip | 3 x 60' Hosted 4K HDR
Rising like emerald jewels off the far edge of Europe, Ireland’s western isles have always been places apart – the last scraps of rock before the void of the Atlantic Ocean. For millennia, Ireland was the very edge of the known world and her Atlantic islands were another step again - the final stop for countless animals before they disappeared into the mists of the western ocean on their ceaseless journeys of life. With the animal world collapsing around the globe, many experts look to these deserted islands as some of nature’s last strongholds, that are to be treasured long into the future. This series blends magnificent imagery with intimate animal insights to create a truly breathtaking series about Ireland’s most special wild places. Each episode of IRELAND'S WILD ISLANDS will weave stunning natural history and environmental themes, with traditional folklore and history to bring each island’s story to life. In the hosted version, Eoin Warner takes us on an informative journey across these secluded islands. Awards: Best Series, 48th International Wildlife Film Festival

From the earliest primitive life forms to sophisticated animals like mammals, primates and birds, animals have evolved powerful senses to perceive their environment.
