The Bearded Vulture is one of the largest birds of prey in Europe and one of the rarest. With its habitat above the treeline in the alpine mountains, we see one of the largest airworthy birds fly loops during its courtship days and flight for survival on the steep slopes.
The Grey Seal is Europe's largest water prediator. With its habitat in the fish rich costal areas in cool but not arctic waters we discover that recreation in the sun plays a major role for the seal, but we also see it raiding in dangerous waters.
This popular motif in prehistoric cave paintings, the European Bison is Europe's heaviest land mammal. Weighing in at just under one tonne, it is also Europe's last wild cattle spieces.

With antlers that can grow up to 2 meters in size and can consume 10kg of grass, young trees and bark a day the Elk is the largest deep spieces in the world. With their habitat the dense, poorly accessible forests and moorlands, we see the coumminities of Elk driven up by climate change.
