Young animals face the ultimate challenge in the natural world. They must not only survive, but also learn the life skills they’ll need to thrive in the wild. Whether it’s a young lion learning to silently stalk its prey; or a baby elephant grappling for control of her trunk for the first time… they all have their work cut out!
This 4K series follows biologist Patrick Aryee as he gives us an insight into the lives of nature’s smallest heroes. Travelling to wild parts of the world, Patrick gets up close to some adorable young animal pups, cubs and kittens. Through these tiny characters we’ll also meet their mums and dads, and explore the complex dynamics of wild family life. Every parent is different, some will lay everything on the line for their precious offspring whilst others will never even meet their youngsters.
