Amazing Pigs
1 x 60’, 2018, 4K
We think we know big cats pretty well, don’t we? Well actually, we don’t. In this series, recent scientific discoveries shed new light on the extraordinary prehistory of big cats and their ascent to world domination. How did these giant carnivores survive the ice age extinctions that wiped out the sabretooths, and persist into the present day? When we learn that the jaguar was once found in the UK, the tiger ranged from Siberia to Turkey, and the lion, far from being African was a true worldwide phenomenon, it’s clear that our view of cats has been blinkered. What happened? Brand-new night vision systems, super slow-motion cameras, and cutting edge computer-generated imagery of a bygone age takes us on a tantalising trail of evidence to answer these questions, revealing incredible and surprising stories of the world’s most charismatic predators: The big cats.

We may not have noticed it yet, but pigs are slowly taking over the planet! There are an estimated two billion of them, living on every continent except Antarctica. Humans are partly to blame – pigs have been a part of our lives for thousands of years. In this film, we follow the many lives of pigs and ask, what is the key to their remarkable success?

They glide through our urban jungles, breed on the river’s edge and feel quite at home in our backyards. You thought they were far away, in the wild. You’re wrong. They’re here. The urban invaders – a red squirrel nesting in the bird feeder, a duck on the balcony or a hedgehog at the cat food dish. Join us on a journey into a well-known territory – with very unexpected encounters...

‘Born In The Wild’ explores the reproductive behaviours and biology of the animal kingdom. Focusing on the elephant, dolphin, kangaroo and orangutan, we take a look at how these animals find, fight for and woo the opposite sex. We explore how they mate, give birth and raise their young in extreme environments. Why do male elephants transform into sex crazed monsters during musth? How do orangutans give birth safely high in the trees? Why is the pregnancy of kangaroos so short? And how do dolphins mate at high speed? Windfall Films
