- In nature, all who breathe, be it in air or water, are mandatory members of the food pyramid - and in this world of eat or be eaten, the view is best from the top. Planet earth is home to fearsome creatures equipped to maintain their position as apex predators - they are armed to the teeth and possess a predatory prowess few can escape. From the mega great-white shark and his ability to launch out of the water mid-hunt to the mighty Nile crocodile who lies in wait - quietly hidden from his unsuspecting prey to the expert hunting wild dogs who are able to tear up their prey in a matter of split seconds. We take a look at the fearsome creatures whose deadly bites far out-weigh their bark.
- They may be small and unassuming - but these little creatures pack a massive punch. We look at the little guys - what they lack in size they make up for in power, strength and tenacity. From banded mongooses, porcupines and cape clawless otters to spotted genets and caracals. These creatures may not seem threatening but they have no problem taking on creatures more than double their size and weight.
- Careful where you step - hidden beneath logs, in trees, empty burrows or long grass are creatures so deadly, that one bite is enough to take down a full-grown elephant bull. Armed with a heart-stopping toxic venom these lethal creatures are not to be trifled with. When hunting their venom is fast and effective - trespassers beware- for they may be small but these snakes, spiders and scorpions do not play games.
- Madagascar is abundant with Chameleons...in fact this island off the east coast of Africa has almost half of all the world's species. In these emerald green forests, these tree crawlers thrive. Finding them is the hardest part because they have a secret weapon- their skin can change colour.
- It's another magnificent day in the jungles of Madagascar. Everywhere you look, something weird, wonderful and unique pops out of the forest thicket. The sun is out, the forest is abuzz and our two young explorers are out to see if they can find a giant lemur called an indri.
- It's a nice warm day in Madagascar and the weather couldn't be more perfect for finding the special reptiles Luca and Melua are searching for - Amongst the green bushes, long branches and mighty palm trees, our young explorers need to keep their eyes peeled because these critters aren't easy to find.
- Another misty morning in the Madagascan jungle, but today is a special day, Luca and Melua are off to a sanctuary where they will encounter many of Madagascar's most famous creatures - lemurs. They are perfectly adapted to live in the treetops and jump from tree to tree with ease. Lemurs may be primates, but unlike monkeys, their long tails are not used for hanging in trees but are rather used for balance.
- Out in the coastal forests of Madagascar, Luca and Melua prepare themselves for another day of exploration. Today, they need to keep their eyes peeled, because what they are looking for can be hidden anywhere. The mangrove swamps, teaming with hermit crabs may be a treasure trove of discoveries - but, today Melua and Luca have their eyes on creatures found deeper in the forest. Deeper they go into the towering greenery- until, suddenly- is that a branch...slithering?
- Welcome to yet another day of adventure in Madagascar. Today Luca and Melua are out on an incredible journey to find one of Madagascar's most iconic animals. While they walk, wherever they look, the lush emerald green forests are just filled with giant elephant ear plants, with some that stand 2 meters tall, they tower over them - until they get to today's mode of transport - To get to where they need to go, they will have to hop into canoes and head down the river. But, what they don't yet realise, is canoeing can be hard work.
- It's a warm, clear-sky kind of day- which, on this beautiful island can only mean one thing- time to set out to meet some new and fantastic friends that inhabit these green jungles. Finding them is not so easy, so best to set off nice and early. Today Melua and Luca are out to find two new species of Lemurs- found only on this island, they are some of Madagascar's finest treehoppers. Even though the females are a different colour, these fluffy eared fellows are called black lemurs.
- Today, the sunny skies of Madagascar open opportunity for a new kind of adventure. It's off the land on into boats for Luca and Melua as they venture down the river to a special part of the island. It doesn't take long before they are greeted by the resident red rough lemurs who are as curious of Luca and Melua and they are of it. A little further on, up in the trees, they spot a fantastic looking lemur with such interesting colours.
- It's another beautiful day in Madagascar- the air is fresh with excitement and a new adventure is on the horizon. Today Luca and Melua board a boat that will take them to a very special location to find some very special creatures. Hiding in the scrub, are some of Madagascar's cutest critters. These are tenrecs, also known as lesser Madagascan hedgehogs.
- This morning is a little chilly out. The mist has set in all through the forest, making it a little spooky. But that doesn't stop our two young explorers on their mission to find Madagascar's most fearsome predator. The Madagascan fossa. A small carnivorous mammal that lives in these forests. They may not be much bigger than your average dog but these furry creatures are the most fearsome predators on the whole island.
- As far as the eye can see, Botswana's Makgadikgadi salt pans stretch out like a bright white ice-scape.

Join Luca and his sister Melua on their expedition into Botswana's salt pans.

- Today, our intrepid adventurers are on a very, very special mission. As they arrive at a small airstrip, they find a small aeroplane waiting for them. They are taking to the sky!!. As they climb higher and higher, with the buzz of the engine in their ears, they watch as the beautiful Okavango Delta spreads out beneath them.
- For today's adventure, the Melua and Luca head out as soon as the sun begins to rise. They have a long way to go, as they are exploring the rugged bushveld in the northwestern corner of Botswana. The terrain here is dotted with craggy mountains and it is for this reason that this place is so special. This area is called the Tsodilo Hills.
- Botswana's Okavango Delta is a huge glittering network of streams and pools. And this is exactly where Melua and Luca have set up their camp. It's the perfect base to set off from to go exploring. But much of it is inaccessible to cars - the solution - a boat.
- On Botswana's Chobe River, there is always something new to see and do. Today, they are off to find some of the mischievous mammals that call the banks of this river home. Baboons. They find a whole family, playing and foraging along the water's edge.
- Today, Melua and Luca's adventure takes them to Botswana's spectacular Chobe River on the northern Border of the Chobe national park. This was the first national park to be formed in Botswana, and it is also the most diverse, with so many different species to see.
- In a world governed by the ebb and flow of the seasons, animals need a strategy to survive. Where some wait out the harder times, others need to hit the road in search of greener pastures. The great wildebeest migrations see millions of beasts moving in unison- chasing the rains, chasing the sunshine, chasing sustenance. Meanwhile, off the coast, seasonal events open a passage for recently spawned sardines - this episode allows us to witness a true feat of nature as billions of fish are pursued by millions of predators as they make their way up the coast. Bear witness to some of the greatest migrations on earth.
- When it comes to finding food in the wild desperate times lead to desperate measures- and when resources are sparse, it becomes every beast for themselves; and stealing a meal is far easier than wasting energy perusing one. This episode reveals how even the most skilled and ferocious hunters can stoop to common thievery when times are tough. Lions, jackals, hyenas, sharks and birds of prey are no stranger to the path of least resistance, and there are no fussy eaters in these parts - the only objective is securing their next meal.
- In the perpetual fight for dominance it's never wise to keep your enemies too close - something both lions and cheetahs knows all too well. In many social animal groups, evicted males team up to form a single formidable force that can overthrow the alpha. These powerhouses are better known as male coalitions. The demise of a family's dominant male leaves a gap for a new coalition to take over - in this episode we follow these male gangs on their journey to dominance and establishing new territories and mating rights.
