The Ocean's Greatest Feast
At the start of every winter, the coast of South Africa sees billions of little fish converge in the biggest biomass migration on the planet. It’s the annual sardine run – a literal force of nature that feeds an entire coastline. The sardines ride a cold current through a gauntlet of predators, against all odds of survival - but the purpose of the journey remains a mystery. They race past a hungry seal colony, endure an aerial assault by gannets and face hungry sharks. When dolphins show up, the feast kicks into even higher gear, before orcas arrive with a final surprise. Watch this yearly wild run in OCEAN'S GREATEST FEAST. Narrated by Graham McTavish.

Plimsoll Productions

AFRICA’S HUNTERS is an engrossing, character-driven look at the lives of some of Zambia’s most formidable predators – lions, leopards and hyenas. From an audacious, three-year old leopard who has won her first territory but is mercilessly challenged by older rivals, to a misfit lion cub who has finally found his place in the pride, and a clan of hyenas struggling in the grip of drought, life for predators is tough and they must be bold, cunning and strong if they are to make it through harsh times. Using state-of-the-art thermal cameras, we follow characters by night and day, revealing their lives in intimate detail.

But then one team and one man changed everything – seeing into their secret lives and recording extraordinary new behaviors that shine a light on our own evolutionary past and fundamentally changing how we think about ourselves.

HOW THE WILD THINGS SLEEP explores some of the most extreme sleepers on Earth, as scientists investigate and dig deeper into understanding this incredibly important part of life. How do animals deal with sleep deprivation or the danger of being unconscious while predators roam? These are some of the baffling questions tackled in HOW THE WILD THINGS SLEEP.
