F4White Shark/Red TriangleEach year, in the late summer, a region known as the Red Triangle bustles with marine mammal activity. Lying between San Francisco and Monterey, the Red Triangle includes beaches where elephant seals go to molt, and offshore sites where great whites feed on unwary prey. When not prowling the Red Triangle, great white sharks search the kelp forest for sea lions, or roam the open ocean. Their migration is predictable. Each year they turn up at the same place at the same time, occasionally crossing paths with humans who still swim and surf in these dangerous waters. - Cloud's Legacy: The Wild Stallion Returns

F6Shadow Over the Sun: A Story of EaglesWilderness is elusive in Britain, but in the Highlands of Scotland, the sacred dance between predator and prey is still played out against a rugged and unforgiving landscape. Gliding above this wild land is Britain's most magnificent predator -- the golden eagle. - Diamonds
F7DiamondsThis episode of Nature, narrated by Stockard Channing, provides us with a fascinating look into the many steps of evaluating a diamond and preparing it for public sale. Miners dredge the earth, dealers fret over valuation exams to probe the minutest details of the stones, and finally the would-be owners gasp in awe. Diamonds are their own glorious world. Get a look at how they go from mining to necklace--with plenty of human drama along the way. You may never look at jewelry the same way again. - Irland: Meere, Moor und grüne Hügel
F10Irland: Meere, Moor und grüne HügelIrland mit seinen düsteren Mooren, einsamen Stränden, seinen Ruinen, Steinzeitgräbern und Pilgerstätten wirkt wie eine uralte Welt, unberührt und zeitlos. Eine Postkartenidylle. Doch das überraschend bunte Mosaik seiner Landschaften erzählt von ständiger Bewegung und Veränderung. Gewaltige Kräfte waren am Werk und formten die Insel. Irland ist ein junges Land. Erst die Gletscher der Eiszeit gaben ihm die heutige Gestalt, machten es zu einer Insel. Als die Gletscher vor rund 10.000 Jahren schmolzen und der Meeresspiegel stieg, wurden die Landbrücken zwischen Irland und dem Festland überflutet. Reste versunkener Wälder vor Irlands Ostküste zeugen noch davon. Susanne Hanke (dt. Bearb.) - Land of the Falling Lakes
F12Land of the Falling Lakes“Land of the Falling Lakes” looks at Croatia's Plitvice Lakes National Park, an ancient forest of stunning beauty and waterways continuously evolving from limestone formations. Included: the brown bear, one of which intrudes on a wolf pack's meal of wild boar; and the olm, a subterranean creature without eyes which navigates and hunts via bioelectrical senses.
