Marine Mammals
From giant sperm whales to dramatic humpbacks and playful dolphins, we can't resist the endless charms of marine mammals.

For some the word ‘antelope' might not incite much interest but look closer and you'll discover a remarkably diverse group of animals, numbering nearly one hundred different species. Some are easy to miss, the little dik-dik being barely the size of a house cat, while eland weigh in at more than half a ton. There are representatives roaming plains from the Mongolian Plateau in Asia to the cape of South Africa. Wherever you find them, these remarkable animals are the unsung heroes of the plains.
We like to think we can control everything: changing the course of water, reclaiming land, replanting deserts – we constantly remodel the natural world to suit our needs. But there's one thing we can't control: the passing of time. However, we can change how we see things using cameras we can start to see the world in different time frames. Now we can see animals following the sun, mass movements of the changing seasons and even the vast impact of the changing weather. Watch what happens when time flies…
Deep in the jungles of Peru, a silky anteater is fighting to stay awake and a mother humming bird is struggling to raise her chick. The seasonal downpours are about to begin and the rainforest's animals must strive to cope with the changing conditions. Through millions of years of evolution they have developed bizarre relationships and unexpected strategies to overcome them, but for all their ingenuity, they were never prepared for the arrival of a new species on the scene.
The Osprey is the only raptor in the world to feed exclusively on fish. This migratory bird has lived throughout central Europe for a long time, nesting there in the summer months. But the species has gradually moved to more northerly regions of the continent, far from the persecution caused by human expansion. Wendy and Denis have set launched an ambitious challenge of reintroducing the Osprey to Switzerland, a century after its disappearance.

Indochina three ancient kingdoms, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, linked by one great river: the mighty Mekong. A mystical land shaped by the forces of the monsoon. A region ravaged by war but, like a Phoenix, risen from the ashes. Within its boundaries can be found one tenth of the world's species, and some of the richest ecosystems on the planet. This is the land of the Mother River, one of the most bio diverse regions on Earth.
“Project Tiger” is the largest and most ambitious conservation project in history. Its success is celebrated around the world, but until now the full story has remained hidden. Marking “Project Tiger's” 50th Anniversary this documentary offers intimate wildlife sequences with rare insight into the tigers' personal world and the ancient forests where they thrive, while unique access to never-before-seen undercover footage reveals the shocking truths of multi-national wildlife crime networks. Set against the backdrop of India's extraordinary growth and transformation, this incredible story is told in full for the first time by the people who have lived and breathed the traumas and the triumphs of five decades of tiger conservation in India.
This is the story of an awe-inspiring land of extremes. From the cold and fearsome waters of Tierra Del Fuego and the Antarctic Peninsula to the frozen Patagonian steppe, we follow the animals living on the very edge of existence, having to survive is some of the most extreme environments on earth. King Penguins court on the windswept coast leopard seals hunt amongst the ice floes and young pumas take their first steps toward independence is this South American final Frontier.
The Middle East is also home to the Red Sea, one of the saltiest seas in the world, yet despite this, over ten per cent of this sea's fish species are found nowhere else on the planet.
India: vibrant, breath-taking and extreme. A vast land of striking contrasts whose boundaries encompass scorching deserts, verdant forests and soaring, snow-dusted peaks. A realm where man lives cheek- by-jowl with the natural world home to over a billion people and some of the most spectacular wildlife on the planet,
