Planet Earth III - Season 1

David Attenborough looks at the world's coasts - dangerous frontiers ruled by powerful forces, where animals battle to survive amidst constant change.

A groundbreaking journey from tropical shallow seas to the mysterious depths. Sir David Attenborough reveals extraordinary new worlds and unique animal behaviours in the ocean.

Life in some of the many deserts and grasslands around the world, including in the baked Namib desert, where a pair of ostriches raise their family in the searing heat to keep them safe from predators. One troop of desert baboons are on a continual quest to find water and a young mother who is low in the pecking order must battle for her right to drink. Closer to the equator, in the grassland paradise of the Cerrado in Brazil, lives the rare, fruit-eating maned wolf, a bizarre creature about whom little is known.

Fresh water is the lifeblood of planet Earth, where incredible animal dramas play out. From death-feigning fish to frogs that glide, each depends on fresh water for their survival.

Sir David Attenborough journeys into the forests, where dogs communicate with whistles, treehoppers fight assassin bugs, ‘spirit bears' fish, and hornbills imprison themselves in trees.

David Attenborough presents an extreme world where animals battle to survive the elements – and life exists on a knife edge.

Discover the extraordinary ways in which wildlife survives in a rapidly changing human world. From cobras hunting in houses to macaques stealing mobile phones to barter with.

Sir David Attenborough introduces conservation heroes fighting to save the world's wildlife, from exploring remote jungles to going undercover to catch criminals in the illegal ivory trade.
