‘n Storie van oorlewing teen alle verwagtinge in een van die wêreld se mees vyandige omgewings. Die harde omgewing van ‘n dorre woestyn, kannibalisme, doodlike slange, en die stryd oor gebied wil nie voorkom as die ideale plek om jou jonges groot te maak nie, maar hierdie Namakwa Verkleurmannetjie is ‘n kwaai draaktjie wie haar plek verdedig teen almal wat opdaag. Ons brawe klein verkleurmannetjie verduur baie swaarkry om uiteindelik haar eiers suksesvol te sien uitbroei. Die klein babatjies is minder as 5cm lank, maar te danke aan die beskerming van hulle moeder, sal hulle hulle lewe begin in die veiligheid van haar gebied, ‘n plek waar min ander diere dit sal waag om te loop, die plek van drake.

This is the story of a courageous little seal who braves the ocean and all its perils - a real adventurer at heart who leaves the colony to follow one of the greatest migrations on Earth - the Sardine Run. Each year millions upon millions of sardines leave the waters off the southern tip of Africa to move en masse up the east coast of South Africa. They follow the cool winter currents for almost 1000 kilometres. For the sardines it's a perilous journey - their migration awakens a great following of formidable predators that attack from sea and air. Huge flocks of Cape gannets pursue the great shoals while thousands of dolphins strike relentlessly from the surface and hundreds of sharks mount the attack from the depths. Among the predators, there are a few adventurous seals that join this frenzied journey. To this day, what makes a seal embark on the sardine run remains a mystery.

For millions of years, the annual migration in the Masai Mara has survived everything that the natural world has thrown at it. Wildebeest, Zebra and countless other species set off on this journey of enormous proportions to reach the greener grasses thousands of miles away. But the treacherous journey is filled with hardship and the ever-present threat of being ambushed by hungry predators. Crossing the Mara River will be one of the mega herds biggest challenges, with crocodiles and lions eagerly awaiting the infamous paradise crossing. It's a bloodbath like no other, and only the lucky will make it to the greener pastures on the other side.
The complex dynamics between predator and prey are carefully examined through the use of modern technology. Prey are constantly finding new ways to avoid being eaten by predators it is thus crucial for the predators survival that he too finds mechanisms to outsmart his prey- it's an ever-evolving world on the African Savannah. This show examines this evolutionary process - are predators today fitter, faster and stronger than their predecessors? What gives one animal the edge over another? And how much of the animals behavior is instinctive and how much is learnt? It's a fine balance out on the Savannah grasslands- a world that demands the very best from predator and prey.
Hyena: the great opportunist looks at this super predator's social life and hunting ways and explains why they have often been so wrongly perceived. The Spotted Hyena has managed to hold its own amongst a savage world of competitive predators- but how does it achieve such a high status?

Second, only to the lion, the hyena dominates all other predators out on the African plains- obtaining meat while the opportunity exists is this bear-like scavenger's top priority.
On Zambia's Liuwa Plains, two star-crossed spotted hyenas begin their lives. A little female we have named Nasanta, and a male we named Twaambo, are born to warring rival clans.

We watch as Twaambo and Nasanta, grow up worlds apart because of this unique dynamic, as their clan's struggle for food and territory in the extreme Liuwa environment. Desperate drought, raging fires, relentless flooding and territorial warfare are just a few of the challenges Twaambo and Nasanta's clans must overcome, as the cubs grow to adulthood in the Realm of the Bonecrusher's.
