Wild Waters

Wild Waters

From the highest mountain to the lowest valley, rivers and streams are freshwater highways, de-livering essential life blood to all kinds of wildlife. From some of the most iconic species like the otter and the trout, to the unfamiliar and elusive, like the delicate harvest mouse. Life on these freshwater freeways can be tough, and for many it's a constant battle just to stay alive. Take a break from the oceans and turn to the rivers and streams, home to the real wild waters of the nat-ural world.

Manatees on the Move

Manatees on the Move

Manatees, sea cows, these gentle giants go by several names. They were once thought to be beautiful mermaids that could lure sailors to their deaths, though they probably won't win too many beauty contests. To retain their weight, manatees need to eat for 8 hours and consume 8% of their bodyweight every day. And keeping eating also means keeping moving! Thanks to their tolerance of human visitors, manatees have mates everywhere, working tirelessly to ensure they roam the world for generations to come.

Cheetah: Beating the Odds

Cheetah: Beating the Odds

A cheetah raises her young family on the vast expanse of the Serengeti. If her cubs are going to survive, she'll have to overcome a barrage of challenges. Lions, gangsters of the plains, are quick to throw their muscle around, whilst hyenas and jackals attempt to steal anything the cheetah manage to kill. The cheetah will have to learn the hunting skills their mother has perfected. Once they've learnt the ropes, they'll make their own way across the plains, establishing territory and having cubs of their own.
