The natural world is filled with colorful, quaint and quirky characters. It may look crazy, but there are good reasons life got this way. This is nature’s Weird, Wild and Wonderful. When the name of the game is survival, nothing’s too outrageous.

The 17,000 islands that comprise the nation of Indonesia stretch more than 3,000 miles along the equator, bridging Asia and Australasia. Indonesia’s natural habitats vary widely. On some islands, tropical forests climb from steamy lowlands to mountain slopes. On others, parched savannah thrives. Coral reefs line thousands of tranquil atolls, while relentless waves batter rocky cliffs on other shores. In Papua, the mountains reach so high that permanent ice caps top their peaks, surrounded by barren alpine tundra. These wildly ranging habitats are home to an incredible number and diversity of living creatures - this iconic and landmark series is a celebration of Indonesia’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife.

A four-part series set over a year in Africa and focuses on each season, revealing the different conditions they bring. Temperatures, rain, and light change every animal as they adapt to the new season.
