The first title from the exciting series made up from the BBC's natural history output. Just the sight of a shark's fin breaking the surface spells terror, but is this Hollywood-delivered image fair? Underwater filming of these awesome, two ton, 19 foot fish in their natural unbaited environments exposes the Great White as a paradox: a shy and cautious creature existing within a highly structured social order, but also a terrific killing machine striking with total surprise and devatating speed from the murky depths.

Ezek a ragadozók legalább annyira csodálatosak, mint a hóval borított jeges táj, amin élnek. Az élet azonban nagyon kemény a sarkvidéken és a medvéknek erősnek kell lenniük, hogy esélyük legyen az életben maradásra.A tél itt kegyetlenül hideg és hónapokig sötétségben kell élniük az állatoknak, míg nyáron folyamatos, vakító napsütésben fürdik a táj. A jegesmedvék több ezer mérföldnyi, sivár, jeges területen élnek és folyamatosan vándorolnak. Életük szüntelen harc a túlélésért és az életet adó táplálékért. A vemhes jegesmedvék azonban hónapokig képesek koplalni a sarki tél legzordabb időszakában, hóba és jégbe vájt barlangjaikba vissza húzódva, s itt hozzák világra bocsaikat is. Ez a hihetetlenül szép természetfilm, egy teljes éven keresztül követi nyomon a jegesmedvék életét. Tanui lehetünk a medve bocsok születésének, a kicsik pajkos játékának, és gyönyörű vízalatti felvételeken csodálhatjuk meg azt a kecses eleganciát, ahogy úsznak és táplálkoznak.

Only now, by exploring their complete world, above and below water, by day and night, can we fully appreciate how sophisticated crocodiles are.

A leopárdok az álcázás és a lopakodás nagymesterei. Titokzatosak és szinte megfoghatatlanok emiatt az afrikai nagyragadozók közül a legkevésbé ismertek. A házimacskákhoz hasonlóan, a leopárdok gyakran vadásznak éjjel, vagy alkonyatkor, illetve pirkadatkor. Nagy méretük a kisebb macskák hatékonyságával elegyítve különösen veszélyessé teszi őket. A leopárdok nappal főként rejtőzködnek vagy pihennek éjszaka válnak csak igazán aktívvá, emiatt a megfigyelésük is igen nehézkes volt pár évvel ezelőttig. A most rendelkezésre álló csúcstechnológiával felszerelkezve a BBC operatőrei nappal és éjszaka is soha nem látott, kiemelkedően izgalmas felvételeket készítettek erről a kivételes képességű ragadozóról.

From the Arctic to the Antarctic, amazing underwater footage reveals for the first time the successful hunting and spectacular social behaviour of the world's largest predator.

A farkasok lenyűgöző intelligenciája, csapatmunkája és szívóssága legenda számba megy. Ezek azok a főbb tulajdonságok, amik miatt képesek a saját tömegüknél tízszer nagyobb állatok elejtésére is. Ugyanakkor szintén ezen képességek azok, amik a kihalás szélére sodorták ezt a nem mindennapi fajt. Az ember által folyamatosan üldözve ma már csak az északi félteke legkiesőbb, legeldugottabb zugaiban találhatjuk meg őket. Ennek is köszönhető, hogy a régen szívekbe markoló, vérfagyasztó farkas üvöltés manapság már igazi kuriózumnak számít, így filmezésük sem volt egy hétköznapi feladat. A filmen látható farkasokat a BBC kollégái természetes környezetükben és nem rezervátumokban vették lencsevégre.Kanada, Amerika és Európa mellett India vad vidékei is helyszínül szolgáltak.

Ez a film minden természetfilm rajongó álma. A tigrisek kecsesek, erősek és veszélyesek. A mindennapi életüket olyan tudatosan hanyag eleganciával élik, ami már önmagában is figyelemreméltó. Ez az állat tudatában van annak, hogy környezetének a csúcsragadozója. Végigkövethetjük életüket napkeltétől napnyugtáig, szakadó esőben és verőfényes napsütésben.

Edited from more than 3000 hours of footage, this documentary uses a remote camera disguised as a rock to observe cubs growing up into adult lions. It features their futile attempts to climb trees, the mayhem caused when they surround a hippo, and various encounters with other animals such as cobras, buffalos and elephants.

Grizzly - a powerful predator and an animal to fear. But not for Jeff Turner, a Canadian photographer who has spent fifteen years getting face to face with bears. In this film he uses his unique skills to get closer than ever before, and uncovers the true nature of this magnificent beast. Few other people could stalk a hunting grizzly across the tundra of Alaska or film them underwater diving for fish. Jeff reveals an animal that is complex, intelligent and adaptable, one which is just as good at prizing barnacles from rocks and digging for clams, as it is pursuing elk and swimming for salmon.

Over a century ago, the first explorers in the Congo forests sent back terrifying accounts of an aggressive ape, "half man, half beast," which inspired the myth of King Kong. Ever since then, we have had little contact with these lowland gorillas — they have remained a mystery to us. We have come to know the mountain gorillas of Rwanda intimately, but what are King Kong's wild lowland cousins really like? GORILLAS: ON THE TRAIL OF KING KONG follows Sir David Attenborough and intrepid cameraman Gavin Thurston on the trail deep into the heart of three gorilla sanctuaries in northern Congo: Ndoki, Odzala and Lossi, in search of the true nature of the lowland gorilla.

Kígyók. Lehetetlen, furcsa állatok. Lábatlanok, és mellső végtagokkal sem rendelkeznek.Furán hangzik, de a kígyó maga mindössze pár állkapocsból és a hosszúkás testéből áll. Ennek ellenére rettegett vadászokká tudtak válni, komoly felderítő képességeiknek és kifinomult fegyvereiknek köszönhetően. A kígyók hihetetlenül szívós és veszélyes teremtmények. Élelem nélkül kibírnak akár hónapokat is és villámként csapnak le az áldozatukra ha eljön a megfelelő idő. Lépj be a BBC filmjével egy olyan világba ahol a fekete mamba legyőzi az embert gyorsaságban, és ahol egy kobra 10 méterre köpi el a mérgét hajszálpontosan az áldozatára. Ismerd meg a szigetet ahol minden egyes lépésednél különböző életveszélyes kígyókba botlasz. Az óceántól a sarkvidékekig, ez a különleges film végigkalauzol és felfedi a kígyók életének minden aspektusát megmutatva, hogyan is hódította meg ez a faj a földet.

Elephants: Spy In The Herd provides the most intimate portrayal of the everyday life of an elephant herd. Narrated by David Attenborough and filmed over a year, throughout the program the elephant herd exhibits many human similarities: their life span, social structure, wisdom of age and emotional bonds. The idea of using "character-cameras" is developed even further and the spy-cams help unravel the elephants' intimate story. Three different types of cameras were created: "Dungcam", "Poopcam" and "Plopcam"! By using radical techniques, the disguised cameras capture each dramatic moment of elephant life from extraordinary proximity. Witness two males clashing over territory, the birth and slow development of a calf and jealous rivalries between herd members. A real sense of these animals' incredible flexibility and intimacy is shown as they bathe in mineral salts, mud and dust, while their astonishing sensory perceptions are also revealed.

Attempts at charting shark behaviour using a 6ft, lifelike animatronic robot, complete with on-board camera and pre-programmed swimming patterns. In the waters around Bikini Atoll the creation is able to mingle safely with man-eating reef sharks, while in the Philippines it spies on deep-sea threshers and joins great whites as they hunt seals. Narrated by David Attenborough.

Sir David Attenborough narrates this look at bears from across the globe through the use of spycams, camoflaged in a variety of disguises from logs, boulders, fish and dustbins.

"The Journey" - A wildebeest calf makes spectacular year-long journey, an arduous 3,000km round trip across Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara. Filmed using Dungcam, Bouldercam, Croccam, Skullcam, Tortoisecam and other spycams. (Part one of a two-part documentary.

"The Crossing" - A wildebeest calf makes spectacular year-long journey, an arduous 3,000km round trip across Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara. In part two, the migration reaches the Masai Mara where, for the calf, the river presents his greatest challenge yet.

Elephants carrying Trunkcam, Tuskcam and other spy cameras tell the story of four cubs growing up in the Indian jungle. In the first programme, the elephants come upon the four 10-day-old tiger cubs. This is their mother's first litter and she has her paws full.

The cubs are now half-grown and very playful, learning the skills they'll need as adults.

The cubs are now a year-and-a-half old and learning to hunt for themselves.

Part 1 of this fantastic documentary. Spycams sneak within a paw’s swipe of the world’s largest land predators – Polar bears. Polar Bear Spy on the Ice gets closer than ever before to these charismatic bears and reveals their astonishing intelligence and curiosity.

"The Journey" - Emperor penguins cross a treacherous frozen sea to reach their breeding grounds.

"First Steps" - Newborn penguins are caught taking their first unsteady steps.

"Growing Up" - As the chicks become increasingly independent, their parents continue to protect them.

The award-winning team behind Penguins - Spy in the Huddle use hidden cameras to go into the heart of the dolphins' world, offering the chance to encounter dolphins up-close. The camera eyes of thirteen different 'Spy Creatures', including Spy Dolphin, Spy Nautilus and Spy Turtle, allow behaviour to be captured that has never been filmed before, including a vast superpod of spinner dolphins hunting huge shoals of lanternfish while dodging the gaping mouths of giant rays.

In Mozambique, a newborn bottlenose dolphin learns from his mother as they follow a mysterious gathering of stingrays and then hunt huge kingfish. He practices his sonar, plays with bubbles and also discovers ways to dislodge pesky suckerfish. Nearby, the males live a playboy lifestyle as they play chicken with supertankers, visit a coral health spa and surf the waves. When they try to woo the females their direct approach threatens the baby, but eventually bouquets of seaweed have the desired effect.

Other astonishing sights include dolphins using rings of mud to catch fish and the spectacular highspeed leaps and corkscrews of spinner dolphins. There is humour too, when Spy Turtle encounters real amorous turtles and Spy Squid has a near miss with a hungry potato bass.

Remote-controlled Spy Creatures reveal dolphins as never before. Meet the orca, king of the dolphins, and discover the intimacy of its remarkable family life. Find dolphins that wear sponges on their noses, and race with the fastest dolphin in the world - the Dall's porpoise.

Discover a real dolphin secret agent that carries a camera into the pod to uncover their mysteries of communication and interactions. Elsewhere, a young bottlenose begins a life on his own joined by Spy Puffer and Spy Baby - a cute camera dolphin that has bubble conversations with real dolphins! The youngster makes friends with a rare humpback dolphin, joins a gang and takes part in a bizarre initiation ceremony. He also becomes intoxicated on the secretions of strange fish and finally woos a female with gifts and charm.

Most of the behaviour is filmed for the first time. Other spectacles include superpods of common dolphins feeding among sharks; and orcas using their cleverness to catch dolphins and seals. Spy Dolphin joins a pod as it strands itself to catch fish and it's curtains for one Spy Creature as he himself becomes a meal.

Never before has the extraordinary intelligence of dolphins been so intimately revealed.

Sir David Attenborough's new documentary traces his lifelong passion for birds of paradise.

For five centuries "birds from paradise" have captivated explorers, naturalists, artists, film-makers and even royalty. They are also one of David Attenborough's lifelong passions.

He was the first to film many of their beautiful and often bizarre displays and has spent a lifetime tracking them all over the jungles of New Guinea.

Here, David reflects on his first attempt to film the birds of paradise, their bizarre and exotic courtship rituals, his experience at a state-of-the-art breeding facility in Qatar, and how there are always wonderful things to discover.

Nature Documentary hosted by David Attenborough and published by BBC broadcasted as part of BBC Wildlife series in 2004
