America Over The Edge

AMERICA OVER THE EDGE blazes a trail along an incredible frontier - an aerial journey high above the features that define the United States - tracing one of the most diverse coastal landscapes in the world, and revealing a wealth of treasures.

Rewilding

Nature and wildlife in Europe is in a state of dramatic change. Once extinct species are being reintroduced into the countryside with fascinating results. This series discovers these new, yet ancient wildernesses on the continent that we know so well.

Over Australia

A sweeping aerial exploration of the oldest continent of the planet reveals how a diversity of unique wildlife has adapted to the developing mosaic of habitats: from the arid desert, to southern islands and up the Great Dividing Range that separates the interior from the east coast.

Valley of Flood and Fire

The seasonal changes of the Luangwa Valley are extraordinarily intense. Heavy rains transform the Luangwa River from a shallow channel into a majestic waterway where grass grows tall and streams fill with an abundant selection of creatures, providing plentiful food for many grazing mouths. It is a wetland paradise. But it is short lived. A relentless and crippling drought follows and lasts for a majority of the year; weakening all life, save for the predators who take advantage of this widespread fall. This is the VALLEY OF FLOOD AND FIRE.

Osprey: Sea Raptor

On the east coast of North America an osprey soars over a tiny saltmarsh at the delta of the Connecticut River. He has just flown 6000 kilometres, to the place that’s imprinted on his memory since birth, the place where he will re-join his mate. As the reunited pair mates and broods their eggs, foxes, deer and scores of migrating shorebirds bring summer’s hustle and bustle back to the saltmarsh. Other osprey pairs see their eggs snatched by predators that prowl the night. But this osprey pair are battle tested. Over the course of one summer, they fend off enemies, catch hundreds of fish, and raise their tiny chicks into the next generation of sea raptors.

Arabian Seas

Discover the remarkable underwater world of the United Arab Emirates and the largely unexplored coral reefs of Oman. Barely known to the rest of the world, this aquatic paradise is home to thousands of fascinating creatures who are pitched in a battle for survival. From endangered turtles, mysterious sharks and deadly rays to tiny inquisitive shrimps and feisty reef fish, we reveal their aquatic secrets and marvel at this majestic and rarely explored world.

New Kids In The Wild

Each episode of New Kids in the Wild features a baby animal, showcasing their amazing character and the difficult challenges they face growing up wild in their rich and unique habitat. In Brazil, we meet Chico the cheeky baby Capuchin, then across the pond in Africa we meet Usana the fearless Cheetah cub, Lyca the curious Painted Wolf pup and Chinga the fierce lion cub. Finally, we meet Ravi the brave baby Lion-tailed macaque as he explores India’s Western Ghats. Each infant has a unique and special story, which highlights their individual personalities.

Waterworld Africa

With freshwater forests, saline lakes and diverse deltas, Africa boasts some of the most important wetlands and rivers in the world. Discover what lurks beneath the surfaces of the Congo River and Botswana’s Okavango Delta, and see who’s travelled to get a drink from precious but perilous floodplains. From tigerfish to hydrating hippos, you’ve never seen Africa like this.

Big Feed

Learn about the animals we adore by watching what and how they eat. THE BIG FEED goes behind the scenes into the world’s top zoos to witness what it takes to feed thousands of animals a day. From sea lions and pandas to lions and gorillas, each animal has its own tastes, preferences and nutritional needs. It’s like feeding a small city each and every day.

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.
