Set of four nature documentaries from the Oscar-winning director of 'March Of The Penguins'. The surprise box office success of 'Penguins' catapulted Luc Jacquet into the Hollywood limelight but he had been making award winning marine biology documentaries for many years already. 'The Leopard Seal's Share' (1999) portrays the Antarctic oceans' only predator besides the killer whale, the leopard seal. These deceptively cuddly characters show up at penguin breeding grounds yearly to devour gigantic numbers of birds. The penguins have naturally evolved into this routine so that, to save the majority of those nesting on land, a certain number dive into the sea as sacrifice to the seals. 'The Tick And The Bird' (2001) follows the journey of a flea hitchhiking on the back of a Laysan Albatross as it crosses the pacific to nest and lay. The wily tick then nestles into the younger, downier hatchling and from there, onto the back of a penguin come to steal the chick's food - a tick's eye view of marine bird life. 'Springtime For The Weddel Seals' (1996) follows a young Weddel pup through the first few months of life in the unforgiving Antarctic climate, both under and above the water. 'Penguin Baywatch' (2002) takes a look at life for the penguins, birds and seals on the remote Sub Antarctic islands -isolated spits of land that become prime real estate during summer months for all sea and bird life looking to escape the frozen south.
John Nettles narrates the extraordinary story of Jambo the gorilla at naturalist Gerald Durrell's famous Jersey Zoo. When a young boy fell into the gorilla enclosure in 1986, onlookers were horrified when the injured boy was approached by Jambo, a male silverback.

This documentary tells the full story of the Jersey Zoo's gorilla family and includes the dramatic news footage that did more than anything to change people's perceptions of the gorilla.

The demise of the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago, did not leave the world empty. A succession of extraordinary creatures has since come and gone, leading to our own ancestors, and yet we know virtually nothing about them. These bizarre beasts were some of the most fascinating creatures ever to have inhabited our planet. The award-winning team that brought us Walking With Dinosaurs now explores the rise of the mammals. The latest scientific findings, advanced computer graphics and strong natural history stories are combined as we return to the sights and sounds of extinct worlds... this time full of life you hardly knew existed. Walking With Beasts takes you on a journey through time to distant worlds: from the hottest, wettest climate the earth has ever known to one of the coldest... the Ice Age. See the early forerunners of the whale (walking!), avoid the carnivorous pig the size of a rhino, and pity the horse the size of a cat, eaten by a bird the height of a man! And we humans are not safe either... mighty saber-toothed cats with teeth the size of carving knives have a taste for our own ancestors!
