Planet Earth

Cities serve as places of surprising opportunity for animals to thrive.

Grasslands cover one quarter of all land and support the greatest gatherings of wildlife on Earth, but hostile seasons pose a survival risk.

Deserts force animals to devise ingenious ways to cope with hostile conditions. We see for the first time how a small bat faces one of the deadliest scorpions in the world just to get a meal.

The jungles are the richest habitats on earth: mysterious worlds with incredible animals. We jump through the forest of Madagascar with the acrobatic Indri and venture to discover strange mushrooms and creatures that shine in the dark.

The great mountain ranges are some of the planet's most spectacular landscapes, but they are unforgiving places to live in, and only a few animals have what it takes to live at extreme altitude. Mountain animals are amongst the most elusive in the world, and this film provides unique and intimate glimpses into their secretive lives.

Remote islands offer sanctuary for some of the planet's strangest and rarest creatures. The rare pygmy three-toed sloth enjoys a peaceful existence on an idyllic Caribbean island, while nesting albatross thrive in predator-free isolation.
