The Atlantic North

The Atlantic North

From the reedy areas in the Basque Country, via the fantastic world of the Cantabrian mountain range, to Galicia with its spectacular coasts: This is the North Spanish wilderness, which offers unheard of diversity and reveals a hitherto completely unknown side of Spain. In the wetlands during the rutting season, red deer carry out their bitter power struggles until the water around them appears to blister and boil. The Cantabrian mountain range is habitat for around 140 Cantabrian brown bears – Western Europe's greatest bear population. The females wander from place to place in search of food. Adult male bears and steep mountain slopes are a permanent danger for the youngsters. Iridescent blue throats, defending their territorial borders against rivals, appear to observe them. Above the timberline is the Kingdom of the Cantabrian chamois. They share their habitat with the colourful wallcreeper - an extremely rare bird of the tall mountain region. The Asturian fire salamander is the only one of its kind with a complete yellow hue - he hunts his prey on the banks of the countless streams that flow into the Atlantic, which is inhabited by giants from sperm whales to basking sharks, the world's second largest fish. The rugged north has shaped the identity of its inhabitants. The film accompanies a mountain farmer in the Picos de Europa National Park, who still operates traditional livestock farming and a goose barnacle collector on the Costa da Morte, who quite possibly has the world's most dangerous job. Common to both is the fact that neither of them would exchange their homeland for life in the city.

Forests

Forests

Shrouded in myth and legend, the forests of Germany are world famous, thanks to the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. The strange creatures that actually live there are shown in the episode Forests of the four-part series Wild Germany. A lynx out hunting, red deer stags roar to call their harems together, wild boar forage in dead leaves looking for nuts. When one considers how densely populated it is, Germany is home to a surprising number of different species. Around one third of the country is covered in forest. Forests enters a world full of magic and shows the secretive inhabitants you won't see when out for a walk. Spring in the Black Forest brings out the cherry blossom. Not long now, and the fruit used to make the famous Black Forest Gâteau will appear. A doe has deposited its fawn in the high grass under the trees. Nearby, a vixen is on the look-out for food for her cubs. She would just about be able to handle the fawn ... Life in the forest is full of drama. Humans are rarely seen, the animal adventures take place behind a thick curtain of leaves. The wildcat and the lynx have managed to reconquer some regions from which they had long disappeared. For rare animals like black stork and stag beetle, the woods offer a last refuge. The best nature film-makers in Germany spent more than five years travelling the country from the Harz mountains to the Bavarian Forest, from Saxonian Switzerland to the Palatinate Forest, collecting material on the secret lives of forest dwellers.

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.
