From the depths of the South American jungles to the frozen peaks of Asia, and from the cities of Europe to the vast plains of Africa - Seven Worlds, One Planet features extraordinary animal behaviour and untold wildlife stories from each continent. We discover how our seven worlds gave rise to the great diversity of life on Earth today, and reveal the challenges now faced by animals in a world shaped by us.
Many tales have been told of Africa but this is the intimate story of the animal families who live there, told from inside their world.

For the characters it is an emotional story of a year that would change all their lives forever.
