For wild animals, life is all about survival and species have adapted in amazing ways. By evolving unique behaviours and anatomical mutations, animals have learned to survive in every corner of the earth. ‘Wildest Survival’ explores this richly varied world. From sophisticated animal communication to extraordinary sexual selection, bizarre animal mating to epic migrations, this series has it all!

Following extermination in Scandinavia over 150 years ago, the return of the wolf has brought back the myths associated with this big predator, driven by fear and anger. Much is known about its behaviour and habits through the use of modern radio tracking systems. This story seeks to examine whether scientific knowledge can replace myth and lead to co-existence instead of hatred and extermination.

In 1956 at the age of 23, Anne Innis Dagg travelled to South Africa to become the world’s first scientist to study the behaviour of an animal in the wild. Her pioneering efforts were groundbreaking, but her career was destroyed upon her return home. In The Woman Who Loves Giraffes, Anne takes us on her first expedition back to Africa to retrace her trailblazing journey and offers an intimate window into her life as a young woman, juxtaposed with a first hand look at the devastating reality that giraffes are facing today.
500 elephants in Malawi will take part in the largest elephant relocation project that Africa has ever seen. The animals will be caught and transported vast distances, to be released in the Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. The rescue operation is in the hands of African Parks, the international organisation that oversees most of the African wildlife parks. We follow this intriguing nature conservation programme.

Wolverines are one of the least known and understood mammals in the Northern Hemisphere. These members of the weasel family are powerful and versatile carnivores with bad reputations. Elusive and shy, they are the very embodiment of wilderness and wild places. In many parts of their range they are like phantoms - more mythological than real.

No other land mammal displays such dazzling diversity as man’s best friend. It’s hard to believe that a great dane and a chihuahua belong to the same species. ‘The Wonder of Dogs’ celebrates and interrogates the dog in all its spectacularly different and unlikely forms. From ancient predator to household pet, the evolution of dogs is arguably the greatest success story in the animal kingdom.
