Travel through the world's harshest climates and terrains in search of the most intriguing animal adaptations in In Too Deep. How does a fog basking beetle find water in the driest deserts? How does an ibex keep its footing on perilously craggy mountain peaks? How does a sea otter keep warm in the frozen waters of the Arctic Circle? In Too Deep focuses on a comparison between man and animal that highlights the brilliance of evolution's adaptations, demonstrated through the frailties of the human body.
Britain's Wildest Places examines the British creatures whose lives are under threat, showing the habitats they live in, why they have sometimes faced extinction and what we can do to make sure they survive and thrive. These are fascinating creatures, no less so than those found in African Safari Parks or blue cloudless Asian skies. Using spectacular archive footage, Animal Planet examines the history of otters, dolphins, water voles, red kites and red squirrels, as well as Scottish wildcats and pine martens.
Explore the majesty and diversity of the wilderness of The Alps. Life in the Alps drew from two sources: evolution and immigration. Animal and plant species from places as far apart as Scandinavia, North Africa and Central Asia have come to live there in close proximity, creating a biodiversity unmatched by any other European region.
