Life

David Attenborough explores extreme behaviour in the natural world, uncovering some of the strategies animals have developed to stay alive and to breed.

Reptiles are survivors, found everywhere from icy wastes to deserts. See this amazing array of animals up close and personal, from Komodo dragons to the venomous sea snake.

With innovative filming techniques, watch mammals in their most private domains. See a mass migration of fruit bats, fighting humpback whales and feeding polar bears.

Take a plunge and watch with amazement at courting sea-dragons, glide alongside flying fish and get up close and personal with sharks. Observe an underwater world of wonders.

Soar high above and fly alongside a diverse group of birds. Witness the unusual mating displays of grebes and observe the flamingos’ mass assembly in the lakes of Africa.

Join the micro world of insects, the most diverse animal group on the planet. Take to the skies with millions of monarch butterflies in Mexico for an amazing spectacle.

Every day battles are won, fought and lost between predators and their prey. See cheetahs craftily join forces to bring down an ostrich, but who will win today?

Explore uncharted corners of the ocean, where the newest discoveries are being made and the weirdest creatures live, such as the Humboldt squid.

The drama of the plant world is impossible to view with the naked eye, but using time-lapse technology, all is revealed: see how a Venus flytrap confines its prey.

Encounter the violent disputes of a thousand hamadryas baboons and meet a group of western lowland gorillas, as the unique world of the primates is explored.
