World's Greatest Animal Encounters

Forest Animals gets up close with bears, koalas, moose, wolves, weaver ants and Tasmanian Devils. This episode roves across dark forest floors and soars above vast canopies of green in America, China, Laos and Australia.

Marine Animals features charismatic animals that inhabit a realm humans can only fleetingly enter. From the surprises of colourful reef characters to playful penguins, killer sharks and regal whales, this episode dives into the places where nature reveals itself in some of its most marvellous and bizarre forms.

Grasslands are the great stages of the natural world, where large animals play out spectacular lives in clear view of people. From the African grasslands the series showcases lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros, cheetahs and impalas. Australian kangaroos, wallaby and the wonderfully odd potoroo join American bison and wolves in a grand tour of iconic animals.

Extreme Animals features environments that may be hostile to humans, but are havens to many animals. Encounters with gorgeous glow-worms, high-flying condors, parched thorny devils, emperor penguins and polar bears feature in this journey through life on the edge.
