In Congo Adventures: Tracking Bonobos, host Simon Reeve treks through the rainforests of the Congo in search of bonobos, a gentle species of apes only found in this region. Along the way, he battles swarms of bees and tough terrain but finally discovers a family of bonobos living peacefully in the trees. These animals play a crucial role in the rainforest’s survival by spreading seeds as they eat, helping new plants and trees grow. Without the bonobos and other wildlife, the rainforest wouldn’t be able to thrive! This video is excerpted from BBC’s Wilderness With Simon Reeve, an epic adventure into the heart of Earth’s last great wild areas, where nature is at its most beautiful and fragile.
In Crocodilians, Ancient Apex Predators, evolutionary biologist Ben Garrod meets some crocodilians. This category includes crocodiles, alligators, and other similar species that use their sensitive skin to detect pressure and vibrations, especially in murky waters where their vision is limited. This unique adaptation helps them hunt and survive as an apex predator. This video is excerpted from Secrets of Skin, a documentary series exploring the natural history of the body’s largest organ.
In Battles of the Komodo Dragons, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes the dramatic clashes between these apex predators on Komodo Island. From battles for territory to fierce competition for food and mates, Komodo dragons use their immense strength and strategy to dominate their environment. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth II, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In A Journey Through the Coral Triangle, host Simon Reeve dives into the breathtaking underwater paradise of Raja Ampat in the Coral Triangle. Home to three-quarters of the world’s coral species, this ecosystem is often called the "Amazon of the Sea." Simon explains how the ocean produces half the oxygen we breathe and reveals the critical role sharks play as apex predators in keeping the marine food chain balanced. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Wilderness With Simon Reeve, an epic adventure into the heart of Earth’s last great wild areas, where nature is at its most beautiful and fragile.
