Millions of years ago, incredible forces ripped apart the Earth’s crust creating seven extraordinary continents. This documentary series reveals how each distinct continent has shaped the unique animal life found there.
Antarctica
The coldest, windiest, most hostile continent. Only the toughest can survive here. But the ocean here is warming and with that comes an uncertain future.
Asia
Asia, where rarely seen animals roam the hottest deserts, tallest jungles and highest mountains on Earth.
South America
The most species rich continent on Earth. From the volcanoes of the Andes to the world’s largest rainforest, animals here must specialise to carve out a niche.
Australia
Australia, a land cast adrift at the time of the dinosaurs. Isolated for millions of years, the weird and wonderful animals marooned here are like nowhere else on Earth.
Europe
Europe, a crowded continent transformed by mankind, where extraordinary animals are found in surprising places.
North America
North America, a land of change where pioneering animals make the most of surprising opportunities.
Africa
Africa - home to the greatest wildlife gatherings on Earth. But even in this land of plenty, wildlife faces huge challenges.
