  • Incredible Diggers

  • Viper Queens

    Vipers are the Mike Tyson's of the serpent world - short, stocky, and they pack mighty punches laced with hardcore venom - at lightning speed. From the stark American Wild West, to steamy jungles in the heart of Africa, old and new world orders of Vipers have merged to create a super family of snakes. But while Vipers may be iconic coldblooded killers, they have a softer side when it comes to family. Velvet the Gaboon viper and Therma the rattlesnake, are two mothers, who face different challenges, in extreme, contrasting landscapes, but their goal is the same: to grow their families and keep ahold of their Viper Queen titles.

  • Grit: Honey Badger Tough

Weaving in the parallel stories of black backed jackal and pale chanting goshawk we examine their unique association with honey badger. And as a backdrop, the unique tapestry of the Kalahari unfolds - one moment harsh and forbidding, the next a glorious, wildly remote haven for some of Africa's most special animals.
