  • HOSTILE PLANET

DESCRIPTION

HOSTILE PLANET is a ground-breaking wildlife series that explores Earth's most hostile environments. Over the course of six episodes, we explore the extremes of deep, high, cold, hot, wet and dry and reveal the truly extraordinary ways in which animals have adapted to survive in the face of great adversity. It's always been a HOSTILE PLANET and yet, in the last 40 years, it's got a whole lot tougher for the wildlife. The world has changed more in the last 40 years than at any time in the last 65 million. So animals in the most hostile places on Earth must adapt in the blink of an evolutionary eye. Facing everything from intrinsically hostile habitats and brutally punishing weather to the unrelenting threat of predators and intense competition for resources, their challenge is simple: adapt or die.​

EPISODE GUIDE

  • Hostile Planet: Deserts: Into The Furnac
  • Hostile Planet: Oceans: Storms of Change
    Delve beneath the surface of the largest habitat on Earth - our oceans - to uncover a world of extraordinary extremes from crushing depths to stormy coasts and vast blue deserts to crowded reefs. Oceans are dynamic environments where animals must adapt to life of constant change. Discover how seals fend off sharks; how turtles risk their lives to create their next generation; and how ingenious orca fight to survive in the face of ever-increasing competition.
  • Hostile Planet: Deserts: Into The Furnace
  • Hostile Planet: Mountains: Life On The Edge
    The highest mountains on Earth are home to snow leopards, golden eagles, mountain goats, barnacle goslings and gelada monkeys. But only the toughest can endure the extreme weather, scarce food supplies and limited oxygen on these peaks. Showcasing never-before-filmed animal behaviour using new technology to capture fresh angles and scales, Hostile Planet provides unique access to one of the most extreme environments on the planet.
  • Hostile Planet: Jungles: Fight For Life
  • Hostile Planet: Masters of The Freeze
    Even in the mildest climates, life is a struggle, but animals living in the coldest regions of the world have bodies and habits adapted to survive so that they can survive in the face of both probabilities and each other. They live and die in harsh conditions, but the survivors are the actual masters of the frost.
