Built For The Kill: Killer Canine... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of them live among us, lounging benignly on our hearths and couches. But deep in their genes lies a killing communion with both their wild and ancient cousins. The canines are among the earth's ultimate survivors, honing their killing perfection over millions of year. While the cats are ambush hunters, the great canines are built for endurance; their easy long-legged strides eat up mile after mile as a hapless victim tires. Their extraordinary social lives allow them to work together as well-oiled killing machines capable of pulling down prey ten times their size. |

The Living Edens: South Georgia I... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the South Atlantic Ocean amid huge, frozen glaciers and giant ice floes, a range of rough, ice-capped mountains rise up to form Antarctica's liveliest neighbourhood: South Georgia Island. One-hundred and six miles long, this imposing icy island regularly endures storm winds that exceed 120 miles per hour while nearby ocean waves swell to 50-foot heights. Home to bull elephant seals and the wandering albatross, this stark, snowy land boasts the world's largest population of penguins. Frigid and windswept, it is an unlikely Living Eden. But South Georgia Island is both a haven and a paradise-one of the world's true wonders and the single most important nesting and breeding ground on earth. |

Wild Asia: Monkeys Of Hanuman |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The arid sandstone cliffs of Morthwestern India are the stronghold for langur monkeys. These regal primates are revered as incantations of Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god. The programme follows the Daljar troop for one year, revealing the most gentle and dramatic moments in the monkeys’ lives. Mistreatment and infants, a stolen mating by intruding males and full scale territorial brawls are just some of the highlights. |

Wild Asia: Wild Asia: In The Real... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tropical rainforests are one of the oldest habitats on the face of our earth - older than many of the stars. The first programme in the Wild Asia series is set in the tropics of Asia and explores a small area of rainforest in Northern Sumatra. This forest is the realm of our central character, Asia's largest ape, the orangutan, dubbed the "Red Ape" in honour of its orange-coloured coat. |
