Nature’s Great Events is a six-part series from the BBC Natural History Unit. Sir David Attenborough narrates this epic masterpiece of breathtaking wildlife images, as the production team travel from Alaska to the Serengeti. This series combines the fantastic cinematography of Planet Earth, with the intimacy of a wildlife diary.
Each programme is positioned in a different part of the world, from the plankton blooms of the Pacific Ocean, to the race for survival triggered by the annual Arctic melt. Follow the emotional and dramatic stories as the animals fight for survival surrounded by brutal and ever-changing environmental conditions.
Programme 1: The Great Melt
Springtime in the Arctic leads to a huge mass of ice sheets rapidly melting revealing hidden islands, channels and seas, while the wildlife come to life. From polar bears to beluga whales, the summer transforms the Arctic landscape.
Programme 2: The Great Salmon Run
The river teems with salmon in British Columbia, Canada, just once a year. The two largest predators in the surrounding forest are the grizzly bear and the forest wolf, both are in direct conflict for this fishy source of protein.
Programme 3: The Great Migration
The Serengeti Plain in East Africa is a parched piece of grassland that with the arrival of the annual rain becomes a rich oasis of life. While two million wildebeest, zebra and Thomson’s gazelle make the epic migration for this fertile land, the carnivorous cheetahs, lions and hyenas lie in wait for the rich pickings.
Programme 4: The Great Tide
We follow journey of the billions of sardines that travel towards the Cape in South Africa, to an area of plankton rich water. This offers dolphins, sharks and whales a tasty meal, while the bottle-nose dolphins and the African penguin rely on this sardine invasion for survival.
Programme 5: The Great Flood
The Botswana’s Okavango delta floods once a year, turning 6000 miles of desert into a lush paradise. As millions of animals are drawn to the oasis, with great herds of almost starving elephants, the scene becomes a clash of nature in its rawest form.
Programme 6: The Great Feast
Springtime in Alaska leads to a bigger explosion of wildlife than beats even the Amazon rainforest. This program looks at the many species that battle for life, including humpback whales and sea lions making the most of this lush period.
