Lake Magic

Lake Magic

Mini land-bound oceans, lakes are a treasure trove of aquatic wonders. Lakes make up just 3% of the Earth's surface, but they hold 180,000 square kilometres of fresh water. From the shoreline to their depths are unique habitats teaming with life, home to everything from birds and bugs to frogs and fish. They can be anything from sanctuary from land predators and temperature regulators to bountiful food sources and pit-stops for migrating birdlife. Take a deep breath and dive into the magical world of lakes!

Hidden Australia

Hidden Australia

Sometimes called the biggest island on Earth, Australia is a sub-continent of incredible diversity, beauty, danger and downright weirdness. The 4,000km between the coasts are made up of a patchwork of contrasting landscapes: tropical rainforests, snow-capped mountains, dry woodland, giant wetlands, tropical reefs and hostile desert. These vast tracts of wilderness boast the world's most unique and bizarre wildlife communities. In this ‘hidden' Australia, there is an astonishing surprise at every turn.

Fight for Life

Fight for Life

Nature is red in tooth and claw – animals face daily battles to protect themselves and secure the resources they need to survive. For predators to find food, lower links in the food chain have a fight on their hands escaping the jaws of death. Their only options are to die, run or turn and fight. Winning these battles will make the difference between life and death, and with the stakes so high don't be surprised if the biggest animals don't have everything their own way. Welcome to nature's fight club.

Meet The Marsupials

Meet The Marsupials

Few countries have a more iconic representative in the animal kingdom than Australia and the marsupial. Marsupials were once found across the planet, but over time they found their way to the outback, leaving Australia as an ark carrying the future of pouch mammals. As varied as they are unusual, marsupials are a weird and wonderful mob of animals who carry their young in a pouch. Whether hopping, climbing or even airborne, marsupials are some of the strangest but most fascinating creatures you're likely to meet.

Fighting for a Mate

Fighting for a Mate

Animals face daily battles to protect themselves and secure the resources they need to survive. Every battle is a trade-off between the risk to health and the prizes awarded to the victors. Each animal fights with a unique set of tools, from display structures and elaborate body language to claws, jaws and antlers. And few fights are as fuelled as those during breeding season the ultimate trophy for the brave fighter is, of course, a chance to pass on the fighting genes to the next generation.
