In 'Return Of The Giants' we’ll follow the journeys of these magnificent animals, from their feeding grounds to their breeding grounds, the tender moments between mother and calf, and see the dangers their calves face in their first few months, including incredible interactions with predatory killer whales. The humpbacks also face a world full of human threats, from large container ships, to the impact of seismic testing in the search for oil and gas, now threatening their very survival once more.
In 'Dinosaurs Of The Deep' we accompany a team of WildOceans’ scientists uncovering the mysteries behind the deep oceans. With only 32 individuals known to exist off the coast of South Africa, central to the storytelling will be the quest to discover the 33rd coelacanth. Often referred to as the dinosaur fish, the coelacanth occupies a unique place in the fossil record, and when it was rediscovered almost a century ago it shook the scientific community. We follow its journey to the present day, accompanying scientists on an expedition to uncover more of their secrets and behaviours.
