Discovery Channel - The circle of life

Each animal habitat requires a different survival tactic. In the desert, water shortages and extreme heat are just as deadly as predators. We see spiders using the dunes as an escape route, and starving hyenas doing everything they can to survive! On the coast, the tides determine the battle between predators and their prey. Whales use the currents to hunt sea lions on the beach, and newborn baby turtles are threatened by gulls and octopuses! We'll take you to the Galapagos Islands, where marine iguanas take extreme measures in their fight against hawks, and to Hawaii, where you'll witness the impressive annual battle between albatrosses and tiger sharks!

Natural World is a nature documentary television series broadcast annually on BBC Two and regarded by the BBC as its flagship natural history brand. It is currently the longest-running series in its genre on British television, with more than 400 episodes broadcast since its inception in 1983. Natural World is produced by the BBC Natural History Unit in Bristol, but individual programmes can be in-house productions, collaborative productions with other broadcasters or films made and distributed by independent production companies and purchased by the BBC.
