Mysteries Of The Mekong

The Mekong basin is one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the world, yet one of the most undiscovered. 20,000 plant species, 430 mammals, 1,200 birds, 800 reptiles and amphibians, and an estimated 850 fresh water fish species, are found in this very remote Asian region. MYSTERIES OF THE MEKONG is a not-to-be-missed wildlife series that will truly be a feast for the eyes.

13 Hours To Survive

Journey to the breathtaking, miniature ocean world where the tide creates both opportunity and peril. As the ocean recedes with each low tide, sea creatures—hermit crabs, octopuses, baby sharks, and more—are trapped in tide pools, forced into an intense struggle for survival. In this ever-changing microcosm, predators and prey face off as conditions worsen: the water grows warmer, more acidic, and low on oxygen. Filmed off the coast of Brittany, France, with cutting-edge underwater technology, the series reveals unexpected animal behaviors, from fierce battles to surprising alliances, births, and the will to survive. With just 13 hours until the tide returns, who will make it out alive?

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.

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.

Strike Force

A group of researchers who specialize in neutralizing threats at sea (sharks, jellyfish) and on land (snakes) so they are called in by authorities to help with sharks and other marine wildlife when they threaten humans.

Super Shark Highway

In a world first research expedition, two elite teams will track the ocean’s greatest predator along remote and unexplored shark migration routes – giving scientists critical data that will help them unlock the mysteries of shark movements, capture never-before-seen hunting behaviors, better understand shark social hierarchies and identify breeding sanctuaries that are crucial to the survival of the species.

Secret Life of the Tasmanian Devil

The Tasmanian devil is an amazing little creature. With the sharpest teeth, strongest jaws and noisiest shriek, it is the world’s largest carnivorous marsupial.

Macaque Island

Long tailed macaques have recently being declared globally endangered and are in massive decline across South East Asia. Singapore is one of the few countries where they are managed and protected, allowing a fascinating glimpse into their complex lives and unique adaptations to the urban world. Many of the troops have adapted to live between the forest and the city fringes and have learned to make the best of the two worlds. But good monkey habitat is in short supply on this small island, and living so close to each other, it is inevitable that two of these troops will eventually cross paths. Macaques are extremely territorial and both groups are led by a charismatic alpha male who makes all the decisions for their tight family and just wants what’s best for them – including the richest home.
