Wild Spring

Wild Summer

Life returns across the world

Following on from the success of Wild Winter, Wild Spring takes a journey around the globe as the animal world awakens into the season of spring, bringing with it a burst of activity and a whole new set of rules. The series examines the blossoming of new life and with it, the vast and varied styles of parenting; an increase in predation, as with the arrival of new life comes opportunity; unique adaptations to flourish in the longer days and warmer weather; and finally the survival of the species where the ever changing environment brings new challenges to the fore.

Each episode follows a journey from region to region, from the classic springtime scenes of blossoming European woodlands to the far polar north where the ground is under a constant cover of snow and ice, and the southernmost points of the globe where the season takes place at a different time of year, this time of renewal writes a different story in every corner of earth and each species copes with the change in its own unique way.

Duration 4 x 1 hr

In a season of extremes, animals must adapt to survive

Wild Summer travels around the globe following the summer season from the northernmost points of Alaska and Greenland to down south in the deserts of Australia and plains of South Africa.

Summertime brings with it an abundance of heat and light making it a time of opportunity but as always in nature, it is a delicate balance and with the riches must come risk.

This series examines the welcoming of new life and with it different parenting styles; predation as many hunters are significantly more active in summer; adaptations to the rising temperatures sometimes reaching dangerous extremes; and finally the survival of the species where a changing environment means a whole new world.
