Wildlife biologist Randall Jay Moore first came across African circus elephants over 30 years ago near his home in Oregon. He successfully shipped a pair back to Africa and spent a year teaching them how to live on their own in the wild. Since then he has rescued African elephants from confinement all over the world.

Can you imagine a life without lions, cheetahs and leopards? Fifty years ago, there were more than half a million lions in Africa. Today there are fewer than 20,000. With illegal and legal hunting ever prevalent, a world without these majestic predators could soon become a reality. This series gives a new perspective on the problems suffered by the big cats in this changing era in Africa.
As Namibia’s worst drought on record grips Etosha National Park, the fate of an extraordinary band of bull elephants hangs in the balance. Scientist Caitlin O’Connell, one of the world’s experts of elephant behaviour, monitors the already precarious situation. And when the giant leader of the group eventually goes missing, the battle for his crown begins.

The islands of Malaysia are jewels of nature: ancient rainforests cascade down mountains into crystal clear seas. From silvered langurs caring for their bright orange babies and ants tending their herds of mealy bugs, to boisterous mudskippers and a noisy fruit bat roost - this is nature at its most extraordinary! Innovative photography allows us to explore the tiny world of insects, and the beautiful colours of the coral reefs.
