Wild Birds of Australia

Australia hosts over 90 bird species that are entirely endemic to the country. The superb lyrebird with his showy tail feathers and ability to mimic other birds; the vicious and bad tempered cassowary; and the Australian brush turkey, with his bizarre nesting technique, are but a few of the extraordinary feathered creatures explored in this series.

Shadowlands

From the sub-Antarctic to southern New Zealand, the SHADOWLANDS are a diverse group of habitats in the remote southern latitudes of our planet. Here high-stakes wildlife dramas play out in snow-capped fiords where saltwater mixes with fresh, where warm currents meet cold Antarctic waters. Here, the world’s most southerly bottlenose dolphins and the rare Fiordland crested penguins make their home, while Great white sharks patrol the coasts and on the ocean floor a mass migration of spider crabs getS under way. These creatures must be tough to endure the extreme weather here at the best of times, but increasingly unpredictable climate patterns are making their lives even harder. Those who are born in the cold southern seas need all their animal cunning to grow up and ensure their kind survives in the SHADOWLANDS.
