Season 1

How do animals adapt to the extremes of the desert? Join desert elephants on an epic journey, a beetle that likes morning yoga and a night monster.

See how Africa's great animals survive every day on its grassy plains, from families of lions on their morning hunt to a hot and bothered hippo.

Daring sloths, cheeky monkeys and lightning-quick lizards - each is evolved to thrive at a different moment in the planet's most diverse habitat.
