Wild Berlin

Wild Berlin

Berlin has a natural wild side - a fascinating parallel world of wildlife wonders great and small, right on the doorstep. For every human inhabitant of Berlin there are at least two birds, and nowhere else are so many sparrows and nightingales to be found as in Germany's capital. Swarms of bees harvest the honey from the city's almost half a million trees, while badgers can be found scurrying across courtyards and praying mantises await their prey in strips of railway land. The metropolis of Berlin is an urban jungle, providing a habitat for thousands of racoons, foxes, bats, squirrels, hedgehogs and beavers - Berlin is wild in more ways than one.

Wild Sex

Wild Sex

Sex is at the heart of everything. It's the only real way of leaving a legacy - in the genes of the future. But there's more than just the act - it's the build up to it when wildlife shows its incredible diversity. It drives touching courtships and fierce battles. Hormones and sex drive are forces that shape behaviour and can change an animal's purpose and persona. This is the story of how wild things get sexy. Without sex, there's nothing. It's a driving force throughout nature. The act of sex is mostly to make babies, but let's face it, its foreplay that really counts - it brings out the best and the worst in the animal kingdom. Pre-coital courtship can give pleasure, but also gives the participants the chance to check each other out and make sure they've found the perfect match. It affects us all. Birds do it, bees do it, all the way through the animals kingdom. From fire flies who mix up their own chemistry sets to fill the forest with mood lighting, to mayflies that emerge on mass, by the millions to mate. Their vast orgies attract predators of all sizes. Fish risk their lives climbing rivers from the sea, and a barrage of bears and other predators - just for sex - but the mission is so strenuous it kills them, as soon as their eggs are laid, they wither and die. Sex and the hormones that drive it can turn cute and cuddly into a sex beast. It turns out the koala is a sex maniac, more into rape than romance. Many mammals, from guanaco (wild llama) to hippos chase, wrestle and bite their way to a romantic interlude. Huge male red Kangaroos even box. When it comes to wild sex, mammals are amazing, but its birds that are the real show stoppers. From dazzling peacocks to booming bustards, fighting turkeys to dancing birds of paradise, birds go all out on foreplay - though you sometimes have to wonder if it's worth it - after all that parading their sex is over in seconds There's a lot of effort for very little reward.

Wild Serbia

Wild Serbia

Serbia is in the heart of the Balkans, a “little Europe“ within Europe with its rich variety of landscapes and natural beauties, it certainly does this name justice. This nature documentary presents Serbia's breath-taking, picturesque regions and unique wildlife on a journey to the most beautiful and wildest areas of the Balkan peninsula, from high mountains across gentle hills to the vast plains of the Puszta. Serbia is only about five times the size of Schleswig Holstein, yet here the most varied vegetation zones, animal kingdoms and cultures meet. And even today a large number of Serbian people live in close communion with nature. They are proud of the storks' nests in the villages, the ancient species of livestock that have been preserved and the vultures that return to make their home here. In many places people are pleased to see bears, lynx and wolves, and even jackals are at home in the forests of Siberia. It is a country full of traditions and folklore, with deep influences from the Orient as well as the West. The Danube is the most prominent river in Serbia. As it makes its way through the Carpathian Mountains of Rumania it forms the most imposing gorge in Europe, the Iron Gates. Other striking features of Serbia's landscape include the archaic earth pyramids of Devil's Town, towering up in powerful red colours - and what must be the driest region of Siberia, the Deliblatska Pescara, which is also known as Europe's Sahara. Colourful birds called bee-eaters have settled on a rocky slope - a whole, noisy colony of them. They make their nests in caves which they dig themselves in the ground, and the inaccessible location means it is difficult for enemies to reach them. The more frequently the male brings the female insects it has caught, the more powerful is the bond between them later.
