Dr. Anne Innis Dagg re-traces the steps of her ground-breaking 1956 journey to South Africa to study giraffes in the wild. Now, at 85 years old, Anne sees a startling contrast between the world of giraffes she once knew and the one it has become. Weaving through the past and present, her harrowing journey gives us an intimate look into the factors that destroyed her career and the forces that brought her back.

Mini land-bound oceans, lakes are a treasure trove of aquatic wonders. Lakes make up just 3% of the Earth's surface, but they hold 180,000 square kilometres of fresh water. From the shoreline to their depths are unique habitats teaming with life, home to everything from birds and bugs to frogs and fish. They can be anything from sanctuary from land predators and temperature regulators to bountiful food sources and pit-stops for migrating birdlife. Take a deep breath and dive into the magical world of lakes!

Sometimes called the biggest island on Earth, Australia is a sub-continent of incredible diversity, beauty, danger and downright weirdness. The 4,000km between the coasts are made up of a patchwork of contrasting landscapes: tropical rainforests, snow-capped mountains, dry woodland, giant wetlands, tropical reefs and hostile desert. These vast tracts of wilderness boast the world's most unique and bizarre wildlife communities. In this ‘hidden' Australia, there is an astonishing surprise at every turn.

This episode introduces a rare inhabitant of the mediterranean mountains: The mouflon sheep origin in Corsica and Sardinia, as well as on Cyprus.

This episode is about on the most ancient and majestic animal of the continent: the muskox seems like the last survivor of the ice age – and it is. Thousands of years ago the animals roamed our landscapes together with mammoths. Nowadays, the only remaining herds live in Scandinavia: the Dovrefjell National Park in Norway and the Härjedaalen area in Sweden - where scientists and environmentalists put up a breeding centre in order to protect and strengthen the wild population of muskox - are the main locations of this episode.

Extinction, a daunting and confusing word. A force of nature, that sees the end of species, but also heralds the birth of others. Right now the extinction rate could be as much as 10,000 times faster than it should be. 20% of fish, a fifth of all reptiles and a quarter of mammals face extinction. If we are to do anything to stem the tide of extinction we must understand the lifestyles of those in danger. The future for countless animals is uncertain, but one thing is for sure – we have a lot to learn.

We love to measure aspects of life at its extremes. The biggest, the tallest, even the rarest – some of the most iconic creatures in the natural world. Many are familiar but it's also important to recognise some of the more surprising record breakers.
