Confronted by fire, famine, predators, and poachers, three elephant families overcome adversity in ways that feel almost human in nature. This documentary will follow the journeys of elephant herds in Kenya, India, and Mali as they migrate towards food and safety, using knowledge shared over generations. As we look into the minds of elephants, we see that their unique abilities to communicate, educate, and sympathize provide them with the necessary skills to survive. Yet, despite the strength and intelligence of these majestic creatures, humans are causing elephant populations to plummet around the world.

This sky-high journey celebrates the birds of Latin America, its stunning landscapes, and other amazing fauna. From the northern coasts of Baja California, Mexico where we meet the pinkest flamingos in the world, to the majestic condor of Perú who captured the imagination of ancient civilizations, ending down south with the curious Rockhopper penguins of Argentina. Narrated by Gina Rodriguez.

There is a 1,200-mile strip of land on the southwestern coast of Africa where the searing Namib Desert meets the frigid Atlantic Ocean. Here, the basic elements of the earth exist in paradoxical extremes. The Namib, an extremely arid desert, is often cloaked in fog created by the cold, nutrient-rich Benguela Current. Fur seals and penguins divide their time between the sandy shore and the icy water of the sea, while ostrich, gemsbok and hyena roam the wind-swept dunes. Ingenious adaptations to this ancient desert's extreme conditions allow these and other creatures to survive in an Eden called the Namib.

One can see them from distances up to 30 km: Like a mumbling, bubbling volcano, ready to erupt, a glowing cloud rises from the earth. This is how one can experience the Victoria Falls at sunrise. Locals call this: "The smoke of thunder". Especially in the dry season, an unusual migration begins: elephant families come here from the Hwange National Park, 100 km away. Then a wonderful and very rare spectacle occurs: they swim through the Zambesi as if they were a huge string of pearls.

Grasslands are some of the most volatile lands on the planet, where animals must endure a seasonal cycle of flood, famine, freeze and fire. We reveal the extraordinary challenges these animals must overcome, and how our changing world is making survival even tougher than before. From epic battles between wolves and bison, to nail biting showdowns between cheetahs and Thompson gazelle fauns, this is an epic tale of life and death in the planet's most dramatic wildernesses.

Step inside the most frigid habitat known to Earth - the poles. Here, the planet's ultimate survivalists include whale-hunting polar bears, leopard-seal dodging penguins and a pack of Arctic wolves that bring down a pair of musk oxen. Polar species have evolved bodies and behaviours that help them combat the intense hostility of their habitats. But now, their world is changing so fast - literally breaking apart under their feet - and their resilience will be tested beyond the extreme.

Plenty of water, warmth and light provide perfect conditions for life to thrive and make the jungles the most diverse lands on Earth. But make no mistake, this is no Eden - from Jaguars to Gibbons, Hummingbirds to Orangutans, meet the incredible animals to discover why their struggles for survival in this crowded and competitive world have never been tougher. As jungle seasons become more unpredictable only the toughest animals will triumph.

When you've got it all, why would you give it all up? We expect animals to take the path of least resistance -- choosing the easiest and surest ways to get food, safety and comfort. But animals aren't always so predictable

Who says everything happens on the ground? And who says you need wings to fly? Welcome to the canopy of the Borneo rainforest, where the best action is high in the air, swinging from branches and leaping through the treetops. Animals here do everything without ever touching the ground.
