     Finding the Way – Narrated by David Attenborough Some animals have an extraordinary ability to find their way. The dung beetle, an insect revered by ancient Egyptians, uses the sun, the moon and even the Milky Way to move its prized ball of dung in the right direction. Pigeons are often considered feeble birdbrains, but they have incredible memories that can recall several complex travel routes with amazing accuracy and they even use man-made roads and hedgerows to find the quickest way home. Plus Australia’s Deadliest Destinations – Narrated by Greg Grainger The series reveals landscapes – from deserts to coral reefs, from snow-fields to wetlands, filled with venomous creatures, such as the platypus.

    15th July at 10am – Mariana Trench: The life challenges at the deepest sea floor– narrated by David Attenborough The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean about 200 kilometres east of the Mariana Islands; it is the deepest oceanic trench on Earth. It is crescent-shaped and measures about 2,550 km in length and 69 km in width. The maximum known depth is 10,984 metres. However, some unrepeated measurements place the deepest portion at 11,034 metres. If Mount Everest were placed into the trench at this point, its peak would still be under water by more than two kilometres. And Cheetahs – Africa’s Fastest Hunters Cheetahs are the smallest of all the big cats. The lighter body weight combined with the sleek & slender structure, keeps them nimble and thereby, the fastest of all. Due to this reason, they prefer small to medium game animals like impalas, Thomson gazelles, wildebeest calves.
