These are Nature's own Battletanks, and (with the exception of the Indian Elephant), all endemic to the African continent. The African Savannah is the stage for thousands of battles every day. How do elephants, these large, cumbersome creatures survive and even prosper on a diet that even the strictest vegetarian would pass on! Well for one thing, most other animals get out of their way. But lions and hyenas are not always so easily moved – they prey on young, sick and old elephants in particular. This seemingly gentle giant has been revealed to have a darker side in the last few years too. They may survive on just plant life, but that doesn't mean they don't like a fight – to the death. Elephants have been observed attacking and killing Rhinos in the last 20 years. It's a savage clash. Meanwhile, the Rhino, a tough looking customer if ever there was one, is an endangered species. When the great herds go on the search for food, predators go on the hunt for them. If ever there was an animal that seems destined to survive, it's the Rhino, which has been around for over 6 million years. But it too has an enemy: mankind – the deadliest foe of all. Then there's the hippopotamus. An adult hippo is a huge, aggressive animal, and even the largest crocodiles tend to stay away from it. However, when baby hippos stray from their mothers, then crocodiles, lions and hyenas will have a go if they can get away without being attacked themselves by adults in the baby hippo's herd. That's why baby hippos must stay close to Mum

Disasters in the air and misfortunes at sea grab our attention because of the unusually large number of fatalities involved. But it's not even necessary to leave dry land for a terrible disaster to happen. Rail journeys and even just getting in your car can be fraught with disaster. That's the focus for this instalment of Desperate Hours – road and rail disasters. We will examine the causes of such accidents, be that the powers of nature or human folly. We are about to explore the worst of the worst destructive events from an ordinary day on Nigerian roads to a disastrous display of human error in Santiago de Compostella when the driver of a loaded passenger train went about 115 km/h over the established speed limit and drove his train straight into a wall. So buckle up; you're in for a bumpy ride…

Life on planet Earth is a fragile enough proposition as it is. The Earth is an interconnected system, everything is dependent on everything else, and we as a species should learn how to avoid making things worse than they need to be. In this rather sobering instalment of Desperate Hours our special focus is on Environmental Disasters. We will explore what has actually been done to protect the environment in contrast to the long discussions on this topic. From polluting the planet in various ways to the effects of global warming we contemplate how our future might be affected. As custodians of the planet, are we not better to be safe, rather than sorry?

His research also includes an MRI machine that can apparently not only read minds, but also manipulate thoughts. In the US we meet with professor Anthony Barnhart. He's a magician turned scientist who is using magic principles to investigate why we sometimes don't see what's right under our noses. We also meet Professor Amory Danek who is using the conjuror's craft to study creativity and problem solving.Professor Ronald Rensink at the University of British Columbia discovered how small distractions can blind drivers to obvious dangers. These studies naturally led him to work with magicians to explore possible new experiments.In London England Gustav Kuhn conducts a study that tracks the eye movements of the magician's audience. We see tricks that fool us despite nothing actually happening, as well as demonstrations that reveal we can be blind even to our own choices. Colourful and compelling, our film takes a critical and engaging look at the fascinating facts revealed when you see the human mind through the eyes of a magician.

The voyage through France continues in the wine districts.

After constructing dirt roads and river crossings, access to the new mining site is completed. Warren and Konrad are first to the reach the hotspot and setup in prime position, but the equipment is not running properly. There is a confrontation between Gary and Peter on the way to the site about Gary's reckless driving. The divers start to pump the river bank. The classifiers and jig are processing concentrate: bags are slowly being filled. However, there are constant breakdowns and stoppages as the team try to find a way to get the pumps primed and running at full power. They are desperately searching for solutions and have taken to repairing and modifying the equipment on site. This is starting to affect productivity and morale. A new plan is hatched to solve the pump problems: get larger and more powerful pumps. The divers are dispatched to fetch these from South Africa, but they are much to heavy for the trailers used to tow them. The trip back over the mountain passes is made even more dangerous because of the overloaded trailers. The new pumps are set up the next day, but they come with problems of their own. Jan, the equipment supplier, returns to find a solution to the pumping dilemma. He doesn't believe the machines can work at altitude. There is a confrontation between Jan and the miners. They take him to task about his lack of foresight and research. Warren has a close call when he breathes poisonous fumes while diving. Luckily Gary notices and pulls him from the water. Peter returns to the valley with a new plan to use the smaller pumps. Warren drives the TLB too close to Gary and endangers him by dropping big boulders while he is diving. Warren and Gary continue to aggravate each other and they get drunk and have a fistfight while at a nearby ski resort. Gary is badly beaten and injured. There is a lot of fallout when they return to the lodge. Gary's jaw is in a bad way and there are fears it may be broken. Don and Konrad are concerned by Gary's behaviour and debate his future at the mine.

The survival expert swims around the Great Barrier Reef.

A documentary about Africa's most iconic predators.

National Geographic documentary which looks at Africa's deadliest animals and how they have evolved overtime to become the perfect weapons for their hunting needs.

Camouflaged cats. Some animals will never be inconspicuous, others blend so perfectly with their surroundings that they can move through them without detection. For many of the cats of Africa, camouflage is key to survival. From the spots of the cheetah, the rosettes of the leopard and the stripes and dots of the serval, these cats have evolved to merge with their habitat. Hidden lizards. Feeding on these harvester ants, is a beautifully adapted predator, the regal horned lizard. Merging perfectly with their surroundings these small reptiles live in the rocky, gravelly, desert like habitats of Arizona where they make a living almost exclusively on ants. Cryptic snakes. In the leaf litter of Australia's woodlands and scrub hides one of its most cryptic and dangerous snakes – the death adder. The camouflaging patterns of snakes are mesmerizing – from the pearly multicolored sheen of the carpet python to the mottled bands of the death adder, snakes can be hidden right before our eyes. Shimmering cuttlefish . Many animals can hide and many can disguise themselves to some degree, but few can rival the camouflaging capabilities of the magnificent cuttlefish. Cuttlefish can not only change color, they can also change their shape as well as their texture as they morph through seamless variations of themselves.…. and concealed chameleons. Making camouflage an art form are the verdant sauntering highly distinctive chameleons that make their homes in rain forests, grasses, trees and bushes. There are well over 100 species of chameleon around today, ranging from the tiny pygmy chameleon to the prehistoric looking horned chameleon, most are found in Africa and Madagascar. Birds. In the frozen climbs of the northern hemisphere winter, ptarmigans blend against their snowy surroundings. Invisible spiders - Crab Spider. There is one tiny creature that has evolved a camouflage that is so perfect in its simplicity it is often overlooked by the casual human observer. Adapted to their hunting terrain the crab spiders that are found on bark and leaves are darker in coloration than those found on flowers which is the master of disguise?

The most venomous snake on land. The deserted heart of the Australian outback, where people seldom venture, is the hot, baked home of the most venomous land snake in the world - the inland taipan, a two meter long snake with enough venom in one bite to kill a quarter of a million mice. The rare envenomating lizard. Venom is not the exclusive domain of snakes and spiders. In the deserts of the south-west United States and the north west of Mexico lives the striking and venomous Gila Monster - the largest land lizard in North America. Blue ringed octopus. In the shallow waters of the Pacific Ocean is an animal the size of a golf ball that carries with it not one, but two types of venom. One is used on its main prey of crabs and is relatively harmless to humans, the other is used in defense and can kill an adult human in minutes. The tiny toxin wielding Red-backed spider. In secluded outhouses, under fences and letterboxes, under barbeques and amongst garden litter are the messy webs that hold the killing fields and the hundreds of offspring of a very deadly female. Tucked in the corner of her web the scarlet stripe of the red-back spider advertises her lethal capabilities. The feroci

The targeting Archer fish. Just below the surface of the water is one of nature's most precise miniature hunters – the fabulous Archer fish. Able to shoot down their prey with targeted jet propelled water darts the archer fish is bulls-eye accurate. The ambushing Portia. A mere centimeter in length, the Portia spider is one of nature's most capable and intelligent hunters. A formidable serial killer of other spiders, Portia's are fast to learn and quick to adapt. The harpooning cone shell. In an ocean full of fast moving and agile fish, those that hunt them need sure fire methods of capture. So it is perhaps surprising that one of their most deadly adversaries, is a very slow moving snail. Weapon swinging Bolas Spiders. As the day comes to and darkness sets in, one of the world's most deceptive hunters begins her nightly rituals. Dangling from the silken trapeze line she has just laid the female Bolas Spider spins a short silken thread punctuated with tiny globules and ending in one huge sticky silken bolas. Slave Making Ants. Running over almost every corner of the earth are millions and millions of tiny worker ants. Yet for some ant species, most of the workers are not their own blood. These are the slave makers trap laying Ant Lions. Throughout the sandy soils that blanket the earth there are hundreds of species of ants making a living on the land they find themselves. Yet there is one insect whose larvae makes a living on them – the one and a half centimeter, cunning, powerful, ferocious and often inconspicuous Ant lion Parasitic Pompilid wasps In the dunes of the Namib Desert is a little wasp that seeks out a very certain type of prey. Pompilid wasps, also known as spider wasps are named after the food they seek, and they are extremely good at seeking it.…which is the top of the micro predators?

The Canary Islands are sheltered by a mild climate, protected from any extremes of weather. But high up on the towering mountains, the conditions can turn treacherous. In winter, water is released by high altitude storms and fertilized by nutrients washed from the soil. As this drains into the sea the soupy waters around the islands attract a huge variety of life, draw in in from the vast Atlantic Ocean. Many whale and dolphin species congregate in these waters, but above all Short-finned pilot whales are found here in the vast numbers.Isora is the leader and matriarch of one of the largest resident pilot whale pods between Tenerife and La Gomera and we document her activities over a one year period. Several females and their offspring form the hard-core of this close-knit society where all the main family members are related to the mother. Males in the pod also play a role, but not in reproduction, as they are blood relatives. With their vow of chastity, they ensure the protection of newborns and juveniles - a long-term investment which is crucial for pod survival.Physical contact is important for the whales and the film reveals moving and rarely-seen interaction between the older pod members and the new arrivals. But this carefree innocence is undermined by harrowing footage of the effect plastic waste is having on the whales and other species. Large squid are the pilot whales' preferred food source and the best feeding grounds lie a thousand metres deep. But they are masters of deep diving and are involved in titanic battles with the squid on daily basis.As the mothers give birth we examine the close bonds between the new arrivals and the pod, and how the whales deal with the tragic death of one of the calves.This film also looks at other whale and dolphin species which frequent the area, including the rarely seen Risso's dolphin, Brydes Whales and Atlantic Spotted Dolphins. Green sea turtles also frequent the area, attracted by the rich-sea grass beds which surround the islands.Filmed in stunning HD, this film delivers a comprehensive portrait of a unique and protected underwater haven, one of Europe's last frontiers before the mysterious deep Atlantic takes hold.

The Operation is in its sixth week and the team is struggling to get both sets of machinery running simultaneously. They are isolated in every possible way and can only rely on themselves to solve the technical problems. Kim returns from a cancer treatment and has brought along his niece Kirsten. Mitch, an investor in the venture, has also joined them. The classifiers are becoming clogged with vegetation that is being pumped from the riverbanks. A risky decision is taken, and the vegetation is burnt off with petrol to save time. This backfires when John, the local foreman is almost badly burnt when petrol under the sand is ignited, and the classifier is almost destroyed. The rainy season begins and problems escalate. The team must devise new strategies to safe guard the equipment and prevent it from being washed away by the now daily thunderstorms. The miners struggle on in spite of the elements. Soon after the 1st period of prolonged rain there is a flash flood and mining has to be halted. Don is concerned by the backlog of bags that still need to be sorted. The sorting table is returned to the lodge and the team take turns sorting the stones, but with no luck. Don carries on sorting bags by himself, upset that no one is willing to go through the backlog. A decision is made to construct a bridge at the 1st river crossing so that the mining site can be accessed again. The massive undertaking is aided by the TLB, but it is back breaking work and the massive boulders have to be laid by hand in the river. As the bridge is almost completed, the river rises by 4 feet and most of it is washed away. The team are frustrated and they are cut off and isolated, losing more and more valuable mining time. Peter, Konrad and Gary travel to the top of the concession and prospect their way back down the valley. They construct makeshift sieves from old mesh and hike down the upper reaches of the river, prospecting as they go. Don and Warren are left to continue with the work of salvaging the bridge. Kirsten resupplies the prospecting team on horseback. After a dangerous two day hike down the valley, the prospectors reach the mining site, but with no diamonds. Don continues to sort the bags and one afternoon he finds 3 large carat diamonds in a bag. The team gathers round the microscope while Peter conducts the tests to determine carat, colour, purity and value. This is the culmination of years of work and all the time searching in the valley over the last few weeks. The team have to pull out of the valley for the remainder of the rainy season. They are unable to continue mining due to the constant rains and have to regroup and plan the 2nd phase of the operation.

More than 50 countries now possess weapons based on depleted uranium (DU). Experimentation has been rife, and the consequences for civilians and the military alike have been dramatic. This investigation compares and contrasts the arguments of those who defend and attack a technology that is highly toxic. For 20 years, scientists, doctors, veterans and activists have denounced the use of DU. Against them are the arms industry lobbyists and nuclear authorities who continue to minimise the risks. Through archive documents, interviews and in situ investigations, accompanied by key witnesses (victims, experts...) we aim to present a clearer picture of the issues and stakes linked to the use of DU. Quick-paced, with a sense of urgency, the film underlines the essential background and conflicting viewpoints, enabling viewers to make up their own minds about a subject that concerns us all.

As a new year starts in the heart of Africa, the rainy season has come to the Okavango Delta in Botswana, and with it begins a season of plenty and the luxury of permanent and abundant water sources.

A boma is created with a funnel system and students are placed in strategic areas to man the curtain rails..

A student is prepared to carry out the darting of a massive problematic buffalo that has been terrorizing staff members close to a camp. This task must be done on foot and the student needs to practice darting from many different distances before he can proceed.

With predators practically always on the lookout for a meal, prey must constantly avoid being eaten. Any defensive adaptation that prey can utilize adds to the chances of survival for its species. Some adaptations are defense mechanisms which can give the prey an advantage against their enemies. The first is very direct and comes naturally. Animals can use speed as a very effective means of escaping predators. In the evolutionary history of big herbivores and the carnivores that prey upon them, the phrase "arms race"is only technically a metaphor. Antelope are literally born to run, and many of the things that chase them, such as the cheetah, are either masters of endurance or champion sprinters. The evolutionary story almost writes itself: over millions of years of chasing, and being chased, wherever predators evolved to move quickly, their prey were selected to run even faster. Except of course there's more to life than running for your life. An antelope's frame is under more demands than evading cheetahs—it also needs to travel long distances to follow food availability with the shifting rainy season. The ostrich meanwhile stands at one extreme of bird evolution, for although unable to fly, of all the birds the ostrich runs the fastest race of life. More peculiar still is the Golden Wheel spider, the only creature known to turn itself into a wheel in order to get away from trouble. There are many ways to win the race, when the goal is always survival.

In this episode we explore the Race of Life on a small scale but no less competive or cruel for all that. Insects burrow through the ground, hop and sing in the trees, and dart and dance in the air. They come in many different colors and shapes. There are many reasons why insects are so successful at surviving. Their ability to survive in all kinds of temperatures and environments. A strong, hard but flexible shell called an exoskeleton covers their soft organs and is resistant to chemicals, water and physical impact. Their wings give them the option of flying away from dangerous situations or toward food or mates. In this episode: Dragonflies hover like helicopters over ponds and lakes, then suddenly dart away, pursuing prey or other dragonflies. The monarch butterfly goes through a miraculous metamorphosis, changing from an egg to a hungry caterpillar to a quiet pupa and emerging as a beautiful winged adult. The praying mantis is master of disguise. Its green body, wings and legs merge into the green, leafy background so carefully it seems to be part of the grass. Perched at an angle, with its spiny forelegs raised in a prayerlike pose, the mantis sits in still rigidness - until another insect such as a fly comes too near and is suddenly captured and devoured. Ants, like bees, hornets and wasps, are social insects and live together in colonies in many-chambered nests. Whatever it takes, to stay in the race.

Rosemary catches up with the conservancy's rarest large carnivore, a coalition of 3 male cheetahs. The Pungwe pack get waist deep into their hunting as they pursue a wildebeest into a water pan. Denning season has begun. The pack are on the hunt for impala. Rosemary deals with a shocking snare removal. The splinters take on another herd of wildebeest.

High up in the mountains of north-eastern Madagascar lives one of the world's most critically endangered primates. There are less than a thousand Silky Sifakas alive today and this area of remote rainforest, known as Marojejy-Anjanaharibe-Sud, is their only home.In the past, the rugged terrain here kept the Silkies relatively safe but things are now changing at an alarming pace. This magical place is under serious threat from illegal logging operations as international demand for highly sought-after rosewood and ebony increases. Unscrupulous logging gangs are encroaching on the Silkies' last remaining habitat."Trouble in Lemur Land" follows two men, an American primatologist and a Malagasy conservationist, on their quest to protect this rare species, at the same time providing a rare glimpse into the life of this extraordinarily beautiful and graceful animal.The film centres around the arrival of two babies in the group - a glimmer of hope in an otherwise desperate situation. Lemur reproduction rates are slow and Silkies only mate one day in the year, so it is a very special moment when primatologist Erik Patel sees the newborns for the first time. He has a permanent camp on the outskirts of their last remaining territory and we are given a rare glimpse into this intimate, close-knit group as the babies develop in the sanctuary of the forest canopy.Meanwhile, taking advantage of long-term political instability, the loggers are steadily extracting Madagascar's rosewood for export to China. Although they are well armed and highly motivated, conservationist Desire Rabary is not afraid to confront them, regardless of the risks. He heads up a network of local people who play a vital role in the survival of the forest and its lemurs. Over the past five years, he has worked hard to actively expose the loggers' illegal trail of destruction but, as this film reveals, the heart of the problem starts on his own doorstep.This 50-minute HD film brings the forest to life, with stunning images of many of its other species, including the striking helmet vanga bird, white-fronted brown lemur, red-bellied lemur, green tree frogs, panther chameleons and the elusive fossa. This treasure trove of endemic Madagascan wildlife is a timely reminder of what we stand to lose if the environmental issues so critical to their survival are not urgently addressed.

Our film follows researchers who are bringing magicians' tricks into the laboratory. With impossible magic, amazing facts, and opportunities for viewers to participate in the magic tricks, this extraordinary exploration peeks behind the curtain into a fascinating world where ancient magic meets modern science. Magician Julie Eng not only mystifies us with magic, she also takes us to Montreal's McGill University to meet Jay Olson who is using card tricks to study consciousness. His research also includes an MRI machine that can apparently not only read minds, but also manipulate thoughts. In the US we meet with professor Anthony Barnhart. He's a magician turned scientist who is using magic principles to investigate why we sometimes don't see what's right under our noses. We also meet Professor Amory Danek who is using the conjuror's craft to study creativity and problem solving.Professor Ronald Rensink at the University of British Columbia discovered how small distractions can blind drivers to obvious dangers. These studies naturally led him to work with magicians to explore possible new experiments.In London England Gustav Kuhn conducts a study that tracks the eye movements of the magician's audience. We see tricks that fool us despite nothing actually happening, as well as demonstrations that reveal we can be blind even to our own choices. Colourful and compelling, our film takes a critical and engaging look at the fascinating facts revealed when you see the human mind through the eyes of a magician.

After the fall of the soviet union many countries remained in dispute in the early nineties despite eastern Europe's independence. In 1994 a bitter conflict broke out between the forces of the Chechnen independence movement and the Russian regular army. Despite overwhelming manpower, weaponry and air support, the Russian forces were unable to establish effective permanent control over the mountainous area due to many successful Chechen guerrilla raids. Improvised Explosive Devices were one of the most effective methods employed in these disastrous raids and were the back drop to many Close Quarter Battle scenarios exchanged between the two sides.

Our solar system is vast, from our own star the Sun to Earth is nearly 150 million kilometers or 1 Astronomical Unit. Jupiter is 5.2 AU distant and Pluto up to 48AU, the solar system extends far beyond this into interstellar space. We humans cannot yet travel that sort of distance, however w e can and do send our robots and probes in our place; and the results are astounding.

The question often rises is the cost of space exploration really worth it? Could the money be better spent elsewhere. If so one space program would have to remain. The planetary defence program, to locate identify and deflect a wayward asteroid from hitting Earth and destroying our civilzation because at last count there were 15,000 possible dangerous candidates close to Earth.

Peter and his team return to Lesotho once more to pursue their dreams of finding big diamonds. The rainy season is supposed to be over but they have to make their way down the dangerous mountain roads during a violent hailstorm. They setup the mining operation again after a 3 month break, but the machinery is rusted and they battle to get the TLB running. To combat the technical problems they had last time, a new team member has been recruited: Alan, a pump specialist. They have also brought up a bigger CAT earthmover and a Hopper has been specially constructed to turn over more ground. They have invested heavily in new machinery to try and increase productivity, but still face daily technical problems. The investors all have concerns about Gary, who is looking extremely thin and haggard after the break. They begin to suspect he may have a drug problem. The new CAT is delivered to the mining site, but it breaks down on the first day. Mining resumes once Kim and Alan get the pumps up and running, and the CAT is repaired by Warren. The rivers rise after heavy rains and the team are unable to cross the first river. The CAT becomes stuck trying to get up the riverbank. They try to dig their way out, but it doesn't work and the CAT becomes trapped in the river. A site for the hopper is found and it is a huge combined effort to get it assembled. As they complete the task, they are hit by a huge storm and a flash flood tears through the mining site. The miners scramble to save the machinery from being swept away by the rising water. Rob and Peter confront Gary about his work ethic and drug use. At first Gary denies this, but then admits that he has been using drugs. He is not in good shape and claims to be sick but Rob is convinced that his drug problem is keeping him from work. He is not aware that a decision has already been made to fire him. Warren takes it upon himself to break the bad news to Gary. He leaves after an emotional farewell with Warren. The inlet hose is fitted to the hopper and the team are optimistic about its ability to move more ground once it is operational. Peter has some luck at the sorting table and finds a small, but valuable diamond.
