  • WORLD'S WEIRDEST

DESCRIPTION

Drawing on our ever-growing library of HD natural history footage, World’s Weirdest is a countdown showcasing some of the most captivating scenes of crazy animal behaviours in four informative and entertaining shows. 

World’s Weirdest: Strange Love
The birds and the bees as you’ve never seen them before, including frigate birds trying to burst love rivals’ throat sacs. And, check out the remarkable flexibility of an elephant’s appendage. 

World’s Weirdest: Bizarre Battles
Smart strategies for animal survival include the glow-worm’s living lure, and chemical mind control in a struggle for ant supremacy. The whale shark’s trick is simpler: a massive mouth!

World’s Weirdest: Almost Human
Lemurs get high on the natural defences of millipedes, drunken bees get in trouble at work, and a mother owl gets in an unusual pest-control operative as animal behaviours come close to home. 

World’s Weirdest: Freaks Of Nature
See parasitic wasps turn caterpillars into helpless living incubators for their young, beetles fight to defend lumps of dung, and a giraffe licking ants out of his own nose.
