This series studies animals ageing in the wild. Passionate researchers bring us right into the lives of the animals they study, but this isn’t just another beautiful animal documentary. It is also an invitation to consider the challenges of growing old in the wild. Our discoveries reveal that the process of ageing varies as much as the species themselves. It is impossible not to see this without reflecting on our own experiences along the way.

Alaska, a land of brooding mountains, great rivers, forests and desolate tundra. This film explores how plants and animals have evolved to cope with the harsh and unrelenting climate. How does life survive in a place where temperatures can plunge to minus 60°C, deep snow carpets the frozen ground, and rivers lie sealed under a mantle of thick ice?

If the Mississippi river was a playlist, it would be a crazy mix, and each hour of this series explores a radically different location along North America’s greatest waterway. In the north, predators like wolves and bobcats prowl. In the Midwest, giant sturgeon occupy the waterway while black bears and coyotes hunt the banks. In the south, wild pigs dodge alligators, and swarms of jellyfish mingle by the millions.

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?
