Killer Squid: Red Devils of the Sea

Dive into the Sea of Cortez to swim with Diablo Rojo, the man-eating Humboldt Squid. Are these predators natural cannibals who will prey on anything in the water, or is this behavior a reaction to local fisherman invading their environment?

Colossal Squid

The colossal squid, the largest known invertebrate to roam the oceans, has long been a mystery, mostly because no living specimens had been available for study. In 2007, however, an astonished fishing crew in Antarctica made the catch of their lives. Racing against the clock to preserve the enormous creature, scientists eagerly study the fierce predator.

Disenchanted Forest

We call them o-rang-u-tans, which literally means "forest persons" in the Malay and Indonesian languages. They are the only great apes native to Asia. Of all the apes, they are the closest to man in genetic makeup. And they face extinction. Two years in the making, the film is an intimate portrayal of the world of orangutans, the threats to their survival and the people committed to help them thrive. The film focuses on a recent discovery that orangutans do not rely on animal instinct for survival, but instead have a culture that they have preserved from generation to generation.

Birds of Paradise

Living in the depths of the New Guinean Rainforest are birds of unimaginable colour and beauty. When Europeans first saw the plumes of these fabulous creatures they believed they must be from heaven and called them Birds of Paradise. David Attenborough introduces a team of New Guinean naturalists as they embark on a gruelling expedition to try and film ten birds of paradise deep in the heart of the rainforest.

Clever Monkeys

David Attenborough's entertaining romp through the world of monkeys has a serious side: for when we look at monkeys we can see ourselves. From memory to morality, from 'crying wolf' to politics, monkeys are our basic blueprint. Pygmy marmosets 'farm' tree sap; bearded capuchins in Brazil develop a production line for extracting palm nuts; white-faced capuchins in Costa Rica tenderly nurse the victims of battle; and in the Ethiopian highlands, a deposed gelada baboon has got the blues.
