Fatal Attractions
+Ain't love grand? Well, to many animals in the wild, attracting a mate and getting the chance to breed is more like a blood sport. The mating urge drives animals to make long journeys, to let down their guard in the presence of predators, and even to fight each other to the death
Army of The Ants
+A deadly predator is stalking the forests of Costa Rica. No, it's not a jaguar, it's a super organism made up of half a million tiny individuals -- an army ant colony.
Elephants On The Edge
+On the edge of the Sahara Desert in Mali, a society struggles to thrive. This isn't a society of humans but of rare desert elephants. More than just a herd of animals, they are a tribe of extended families and comrades with their own unique culture.

Deadly Gamblers
+When you've got it all, why would you give it all up? We expect animals to take the path of least resistance -- choosing the easiest and surest ways to get food, safety and comfort. But animals aren't always so predictable
