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.

The Power of Plants  The Great Escape

You think plants are boring or passive? Far from it! They use complex reactions to respond to light, sound and touch.

Plants have evolved tricks to beat the ele-ments, animal enemies or even other plants: From thorns and spines to poisons and even live-in bodyguards. This two-part series shows the survival strategies of our green “roommates” we share the planet with.

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.

Hunters of the Forest

Hunters of the Forest

Forests are dark, shady habitats, realms of shadows perfect for predators to lurk. The dense plant growth facilitates a wealth of prey species, and cunning predators of all shapes and sizes have adapted to exploit every niche. Whether crawling on the forest floor, gliding through the trees or stalking the shadows in between, hunters have mastered the terrain in every type of forest imagina-ble. And they're not just stealthy, they're also some of the most enigmatic and beautiful creatures on the planet.
