Australian Wilderness With Ray Mears

In this series wilderness expert Ray Mears returns to one of his favourite places on Earth – Australia – to complete his circumnavigation of the continent. In each episode Ray undertakes an expedition through one of Australia’s most iconic landscapes – hot desert, tropical wetland, coral reef or land-locked canyon. Each journey is different – an expedition on foot, by canoe, helicopter, airboat, 4 x 4 off-road vehicle, or catamaran. Each adventure is punctuated by a night in a unique wild stop-over and ends at a dramatic destination. Along the way, he is our guide to three or four wildlife encounters with both unusual and iconic species, from crocodiles to cockatoos.

The Great Elephant Tale

The film follows three elephant herds in three very different African environments; the lush abundance of the Okavango delta (Botswana), the wilds of the remote Lower Zambezi valley (Zambia) and the harsh terrain of the Hoanib Desert (Namibia). In each habitat we follow a different character. A mother guides her family to find food, water and shelter, a young calf navigates the dangers of her new environment and a bull pursues a breeding herd as he attempts to extend his bloodline. The three narratives intertwine as we compare and contrast the challenges faced by the same species in vastly different scenarios, while bitesize factual sequences are placed to give the viewer a deeper understanding of what makes elephants tick.

Woodpeckers: The Hole Story

There are over 240 species of woodpeckers. They live on every continent except Antarctica and Australia. Woodpeckers come in all shapes and sizes, each uniquely engineered for their particular lifestyles. Some are sap drinkers, others live exclusively in forests ravaged by fire. Others catch insects on the wing acting more like a swallow than a woodpecker. And still others drill deep into the bark of decaying trees using their spear like tongue to fish insects from deep in the cambium. WOODPECKERS: THE HOLE STORY pecks away at what makes woodpeckers so special. We will follow intimate stories of two very different families raising their young, explore woodpeckers’ unique evolutionary journey and the powerful role they play in every ecosystem they inhabit.
