The Platypus Guardian

In the documentary series produced by the BBC, The Life of Birds, Sir David Attenborough unveils a new investigation into the behaviour of birds, perfectly adapted animals that conquer the air. This ten-part series reveals the secret of the birds' great success, their remarkable strategies for finding food, their complex social systems, and their ingenious and often bizarre ways of mating and breeding. From the high speed of large airborne hunters to long distance migrations or the bright colors of nectar feeding hummingbirds, this is the ultimate bird series that every ornithologist should not miss.

This is the story of a charismatic family of endangered animals and one man’s extraordinary devotion. It unfolds in a distant wilderness, in a land forgotten by time. But change is coming. In less than a year, this magical place, along with those who live here, may be lost forever. Welcome to Quoll Farm.

Tasmania lies on the Australian continent, but is a world apart. It is home to an extraordinary cast of black devils and white wallabies. Trees here tower to one hundred metres and green lights dance in the southern sky. As the last landfall heading south before Antarctica, Tasmania's isolation, cooler climate and distinct seasons influence everything.

Naturalist and filmmaker Simon Plowright has dedicated his life to understanding and protecting Tasmania's unique wildlife. That mission leads him to an old, abandoned farmhouse, where a community of rarely seen eastern quolls resides. To find out more about these enigmatic, small marsupials, Simon packs his cameras and moves in with them for a year. However, this will be no simple field study. Over the next twelve months, he and his quolls will encounter invasive predators, opportunistic thieves, and the worst bushfire in Australia's history.

A couple, Steve and Louise, quit their respective office jobs, deciding to follow their inner desires and their aspirations to be artistic.

The red kangaroo survives in one of the harshest environments on Earth: Australia’s inland plains. High summer temperatures keep the kangaroos inactive during the day, yet these animals thrive and have adapted to various climates, creating a large network of cousins - more than 50 species in all.
