2019 · Based on 1 season, 7 episodes through December 8, 2019 ·
David Attenborough guides viewers through the wildlife of all seven continents. The series follows animals as they hunt, raise young, face rivals, and survive harsh weather. Each episode explains how land, climate, and the continents' long history shaped the animals that live there. The footage is often beautiful and exciting, but some stories end with injured animals, starving young, or death. The series repeatedly asks viewers to care about the damage people cause to nature. Attenborough links threats to wildlife with warmer seas, disappearing forests, hunting, and the loss of wild land. The Africa finale warns that human activity is driving species toward extinction and says people's choices will decide their future. The Europe episode also shows hope through protected land and efforts to bring back the Iberian lynx.
