Giant Panda
Deep within the Quinling Mountains of central China, a small cluster of pandas clings to survival in an area with only a few hundred pandas left in its hidden sanctuary. Giant Panda offers a glimpse into this lush yet desolate panda world, as it follows one panda through mating season, pregnancy and the birth of her cub. Seldom is such an intimate portrait of pandas in the wild seen, as imagery rarely captured on film features a panda suckling her young cub in the first few weeks of its life. Peppered with intriguing facts about panda ancestry and development, Giant Panda provides viewers with the unique ability to see pandas in their natural environment. Every new cub brought forth into these mountains serves as a symbol of hope for an endangered species with only 1,600 pandas left in the wild.
Lion Army
In the Kruger National Park there is a hunting force that rivals anything else in Africa - a lion pride, 28 members strong! Despite the females' hunting prowess, nine adolescent males dominate every kill. Bigger and stronger, they bully their way to the best spots on the carcass. The pride's two powerful males could easily enforce discipline, but with them away on patrol, the unruly youngsters are running riot. When eight strong lionesses split from the Megapride, food pressure mounts as the remaining females struggle to cater for their sons' growing demands. This is the real and harsh life of...The Singita Megapride.
Dolphin Army
Fast and efficient, an ocean legion is on the move. Growing in momentum, single pods congregate with the single focus of finding food. Combining in battalions over 3000 strong, they become an unbeatable force. This is the Dolphin Army. Filmed over 3 years during the spectacular Sardine Run along the eastern coast of South Africa, Peter Lamberti and his team have managed to film one of the fastest predators in the ocean - the Common Dolphin. Utilizing the latest underwater technology, we follow a small herd of female dolphins as they battle shark threats; raise their calves and journey towards the greatest feeding opportunity in the ocean. Living life in the fast lane - this is the Dolphin Army.
Dam Beavers
Dam Beavers are a tale of power, domination and triumph over adversity. Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Grand Teton Mountains, we tell the story of one hectic beaver building season and ultimately reveal the biggest beaver dam in the world.
