Each film is a masterpiece of expertise and innovation: award-winning cameramen using revolutionary filming techniques, backed by the latest scientific research, and each features one of nature?s superstars, revealing aspects of its life that have never been seen before.
Great White Shark
Just the sight of a shark's fin breaking the surface spells terror, but is this Hollywood delivered image fair? Underwater filming of these awesome fish in their natural unabated environments exposes the Great White as a paradox: a shy and cautious creature existing within a highly structured social order, but also a terrific killing machine striking with total surprise and devastating speed from the murky depths.
Crocodile
Only one great reptile has survived the age of the dinosaur - the crocodile. Ancient they may be, but they are still the most successful of freshwater hunters. Only now, by exploring their complete world, above and below water, by day and night, can we fully appreciate just how sophisticated they are. In survival terms, the crocodile has every reason to smile.
Humpback Whale
Few sounds are more beautiful or moving than the underwater songs of the humpback whale. Male whales compete with their songs, which often last for 10 minutes at a time, and can be repeated for hours on end. Whales separated by thousands of miles of sea will sing almost identical songs. Researchers have found that the songs change throughout the breeding months, following a mysterious pattern repeated across the waves. Whales also use sound to hunt. To catch herring, humpback whales release a stream of bubbles to form a shimmering, circular fishing net. Emitting a repetitive loud scream, they scare the fish into a tight ball, then lunge out of the water to swallow the shoal whole. Now it seems that the long-held image of the gentle giant must change to one of a ferocious and opportunistic hunter.
Polar Bear
There can be few places on earth as bleak as the Arctic Circle - months of winter darkness, blizzards and ice followed by months of continuous blinding daylight. Welcome to the world of that most massive and formidable of hunters - the polar bear.
Wolf
Wolves are so wary and elusive and their senses so acute that even world-renowned wolf biologist David Mech hardly ever sees them. Mech and others have had to piece together what is currently known about the lives of wolves by radio-tracking them from air over the lakes and forests of Northern Minnesota. Cameraman, Jeff Turner, spent a staggering seven months of each year, for three years, camping out in Northern Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park, home of the largest wolves in the world. In midwinter, he recorded a pack of 20 wolves harassing a herd of buffalo for seven whole days and nights before making their kill. Traveling north to Ellsemere Island, Jeff also filmed a pair of pure white Arctic wolves struggling to rear their pair of young. In India, as far south as wolves live, Ian McCarthy filmed the Indian wolves hunting the fleet-footed black buck. Near the town of Brasov, in Transylvania, an ultra-sensitive nightvision camera was used to record for the first time a family of wolves descending from their forest home to raid the town's garbage bins for let over food. As producer Mike Salisbury says: "Even the howl of the wolf, that once struck terror into our hearts, is now regarded by many as one of the most thrilling sounds of the natural world."
Gorilla
Follows the 3 newly discovered gorilla sanctuaries in northern Congo, in search of the true nature of the lowland gorilla - uncovering as tangled a web of romance and friendship, jealousy and innocence as any human soap opera might contrive.
Grizzly
Few animals can match the intelligence, power or resourcefulness of the North American Bear or "grizzly". This film reveals the more intimate side to the grizzly - how mothers raise and teach their cubs, the playfulness and hardships of adolescence and the rituals of courtship. Most surprising of all is that every grizzly is its own character in looks, temperament and skills.
