Když se v roce 1956 budoucí slavná Elsa narodila, byla už Joy Adamsonová známou ochránkyní zvířat. Lvíče nešťastnou náhodou spolu se svými dvěma bratry přišlo o matku a manželé Adamsonovi je zachránili a vychovali. Lvy poslali do evropské zoologické zahrady a Elsa zůstala s nimi. Byť se u nich měla skvěle a dávali jí v rámci možností velkou svobodu a volnost, snažili se přesto v Else rozvinout její přirozené lovecké instinkty tak, aby později mohla žít nezávisle, protože byli přesvědčeni, že zvířata ze zajetí mají být vrácena do volné přírody.

Once a killing ground for whalers hunting a leviathan they called the "devilfish," the San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja, Mexico, is now an environmental and spiritual sanctuary—the only place in the world where animals in their natural aquatic environment routinely seek out human contact. A nursery for the gray whale since before recorded history, the lagoon and its stories, told here by James Michael Dorsey, illuminate the magic of human connection to animals, and what those bonds teach us about ourselves and our purpose on this shared planet.

Paul Whitehouse and fishing expert John Bailey celebrate the timeless joy of fishing. Paul Whitehouse and John Bailey have been devout fishermen for longer than they care to remember. A hobby, past time or sport – call it what you want – they have felt the pull of the water ever since they...

Nursery Earth shines a spotlight on the world’s baby animals, asking us to turn back the clock on our favourite creatures and explore how they develop on a level never before seen! Biologist Danna Staaf takes us on a quest seeking out the most fascinating (and sometimes most bizarre) babies, including the elusive newborn Humboldt squid in the Gulf of California, the unusual yet adorable juvenile echidna 'puggle,' the baby moth that looks and acts like a venomous snake and the bug with the grandest entrance in the animal kingdom – the periodical cicada.

The Wanderer is the first book ever to chart a wolf's movement, almost to the day, for an extended period of time. Informed by unique access to research and field notes, award-winning author, photographer, and naturalist Tom Walker shares the story of Wolf 258, nicknamed "the Wanderer," part of a research project that studied wolves in Alaska's Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve for more than two decades.

Award-winning wildlife presenter Brett Westwood explores our relationship with birds and reptiles, and their impact on human culture and society....

Throughout the ages, human beings have had a profound fascination with the natural world. It has influenced all aspects of our civilisation, from science and religion to music, art, literature and film. These 12 episodes, taken from Radio 4's epic series Natural Histories, find presenter Brett Westwood exploring two major groups of animals - fish, who have lived on Earth for over 450 million years, and invertebrates, who make up 97 percent of all species worldwide - to find out how our perception and representation of them has changed over time.

For as long as humans have existed, animals have got under our skin, enthralling us with their wildness, enriching our lives and influencing art, literature, science and religion. And we feel perhaps the deepest connection with mammals, as we too are members of this same vast group. In these engrossing episodes from Radio 4's landmark series, Natural Histories, Brett Westwood tells the stories of 10 of the most mesmerising mammals, illuminating the often surprising ways they have shaped society.

Los dinosaurios, las criaturas más formidables de la Tierra, se desvanecieron hace ya sesenta y seis millones de años, pero siguen siendo uno de los misterios más intrigantes de todos los tiempos. En Auge y caída de los dinosaurios, el paleontólogo Steve Brusatte repasa la evolución de estos extraordinarios seres mientras nos hace partícipes de sus apasionantes expediciones alrededor del mundo y sus recientes descubrimientos, que ponen en entredicho todo cuanto creíamos saber sobre la evolución de los dinosaurios.

Insects are the most successful group of animals ever to have lived. They comprise a million species and perhaps 10 quintillion individuals: one in every four animals on the planet is a beetle; one in every ten is a butterfly or moth. Much of life on earth depends on the activities of these busy, teeming arthropods, from pollination to the breaking down of waste matter. In Alien Worlds, Steve Nicholls draws on a lifetime of writing about, photographing and filming the natural world to create an ambitious account of insect evolution and biology

Koalas regularly appeared in Australian biologist Danielle Clode's backyard, but it was only when a bushfire threatened that she truly paid them attention. In vivid, descriptive prose, Clode embarks on a delightful and surprising journey through evolutionary biology, natural history, and ecology to understand where these enigmatic animals came from and what their future may hold. She begins her search with the fossils of ancient giant koalas, delving into why the modern koala has become the lone survivor of a once-diverse family of uniquely Australian marsupials.

Filed with colorful colloquialisms and enlightening anecdotes, Hills of Truxton: Stories & Travels of a Turkey Hunter is as rare a as a triple-spurred gobbler. Author Mike Joyner, a veteran hunter and outdoorsman, recounts some of the many stories he has collected over his 12 years as a devoted turkey hunter.

"Der Klimawandel bestimmt, wie wir als Menschheit in Zukunft leben, das Artensterben, ob wir auf der Erde überleben." Die Natur ist unsere Lebensversicherung; sie versorgt uns mit Luft, Wasser, Nahrung und Erholung. Und doch kündigen wir diese täglich auf: Der rasante Artenschwund vernichtet unsere Lebensgrundlagen, nimmt uns die wichtigsten natürlichen Ressourcen u. a. für medizinische Wirkstoffe und gefährdet die globale Wirtschaft.

Angela Douglas shares the joys and curiosities of a decidedly ordinary patch of green in upstate New York cultivated through the art of “strategic neglect"―sometimes taking a hand to manage wildlife, more often letting nature go its own way. From the first flowers of spring and the fireflies of high summer to a hoarding chipmunk in the fall and cardinals singing in the winter, Douglas shows us the magic of welcoming unexpected plant life and animal life into one’s backyard.

For many of us, the buzzing of a bee elicits panic. But the next time you hear that low droning sound, look closer: the bee has navigated to this particular spot for a reason using a fascinating set of tools. What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees invites us to follow bees' mysterious paths and experience their alien world.

Most of us have enjoyed walking on a bridleway at some time, but we rarely stop to think about how these old routes came to be. These ancient networks criss-cross the British countryside and are so familiar to walkers and riders that they have become almost invisible as we meander our way along them. From atop a horse and on foot, Tiffany Francis-Baker provides listeners with a new perspective on bridleways and a glimpse into their intriguing history.

Since first domesticating the chicken thousands of years ago, humans have become exceptionally adept at raising them for food. Yet most people rarely interact with chickens or know much about them. In Under the Henfluence, culture reporter Tove Danovich explores the lives of these quirky, mysterious birds who stole her heart the moment her first box of chicks arrived at the post office.

You are among the last in a long line of animals that were the likeliest to survive half a billion years of evolution. But you wouldn't be here today without all other wildlife. Over the past fifty years, we've killed three quarters of the creatures we need to keep ecosystems healthy. Now we have a choice to make: re-find our place among them, or succumb to the power of nature.

What is life? Many scientists believe life can be reduced to ‘mechanistic’ factors, such as genes and information codes. Yet there is a growing army of scientists, philosophers and artists who reject this view. The gene metaphor is not only too simplistic but deeply misleading. If there is a way to reduce life to a single principle, that principle must acknowledge the creativity of life, turning genetic determinism on its head.
