At a five-star lodge in Zambia, a bizarre phenomenon that's stumped wildlife experts and delighted tourists is happening: Its lobby is overtaken by an elephant family, led by a matriarch named Wonky Tusk. Though the elephants are often violent in the wild, they gently climb the stairs of Mfuwe Lodge and grace past reception without so much as bumping a chair. Why the paradox? Wildlife cameraman Nathan Pilcher goes on a five-year mission to find out and reveals elephants to be far more intelligent, and like us, than anyone could've imagined.

The Okavango Delta in southern Africa can be as merciless as the predators who call it home. In the span of a season, the successful Xakanaxa lion pride sees its fortunes reversed as the Okavango deals out one of its harshest seasons ever. The cape buffalo have left for the winter, leaving the pride with 13 cubs to feed and no source of food. The pressure is on as the lionesses scour the delta, often entering enemy territory, bound by one common purpose, to save their pride.

That's because finding them in the dense and often treacherous Amazon requires great experience, endurance, patience and courage. Join wildlife experts Rainer Bergomaz and Yung Sandy as they leave civilization behind and brave perilous rapids and poisonous reptiles on their hunt for the Harpy.

The cheetah excels at acceleration, gathering speeds of over 60 MPH in just a few strides. It runs down high-speed prey faster than any mammal on Earth, but its quickness comes at a cost. For one mother raising three cubs, the stakes are especially high. Her lack of stamina results in many failed attempts to capture prey, and as a single parent, hunting means leaving her cubs unattended and vulnerable to other predators of the Serengeti. The race for survival is on. The cheetah has the speed, but does she have the endurance to make it?

Follow the race to rescue the Mountain harlequin frog before the deadly chytrid fungus wipes out the entire species.

From the giant bulls of the African bushveld to the timber elephants of Asia, we follow these gentle giants and the dedicated men and women helping them to change with the times.
