New filming techniques reveal behaviour that was previously impossible to capture in extreme locations.

Fly amongst one of the largest migrations on Earth, as more than ten million fruit bats leave the Congo basin and converge in a few special trees in Zambia to feed; sprint with the tiny, extraordinary-looking sengis as it escapes a predatory lizard; see 30 polar bears gather to feed on a bowhead whale carcass; and witness the biggest fight on Earth…male humpback whales battling for a female.

Key animal characters:
• Straw coloured fruit bats
• Sengi
• Polar bears
• Humpback whales

Narrated by David Attenborough
