Greece, once residence to the Gods, is a landscape of ruined temples, mystical places of worship and unique fauna and flora. Garden of the Gods takes us into this world where strange beasts live in a breathtaking landscape. Light and shadow, sparkling dust, shimmering air and the almighty forces of nature: the elements from which the Gods themselves are born.

This film focuses on the towering giants of the animal kingdom – and tries hard to fit them into the frame! Giraffes are one of nature’s most bizarre creatures. We explore the animal’s social life, behaviour as well as genetic constitution. Already some of their species are in grave danger of extinction, leading to scientists embarking on a quest to preserve these wonders of physiology.
Life has been evolving on Planet Earth for over three billion years. The process of natural selection has been like an arms race, shaping creatures’ ability to survive in virtually every corner of the planet. Each episode begins by identifying a selection of human problems, explores how nature has solved them, and reveals the way that modern science has adapted nature’s solutions to our own ends.
