Continents of Wonder

A compilation of the most spectacular moments from the series, highlighting the rich and wonderful diversity of life found on Earth's seven unique continents.

Millions of years ago, huge forces ripped apart the Earth's crust, creating seven distinct continents. Over time, each one developed its own remarkable wildlife.

We see the extraordinary variety of life found in South America and visit the largest of all continents, Asia, so big it still hides rarely seen creatures. We explore the cities of Europe, full of surprises, and the wilds of Africa, home to the greatest gatherings of animals.

Also, we travel to the searing heat of Australia, with its weird and wonderful wildlife, and witness the pioneering animals of North America that make the most of every opportunity.

Finally, we venture to the frozen wilderness of Antarctica where, on the most hostile continent of all, life manages to thrive against the odds. And we reveal how the biggest challenge faced by wildlife today is the impact of human activity on all seven of our incredible continents.
