And get up close and personal to a pack of meerkats as we observe the intimate relationships and their interaction with often hostile neighbours. The season features 'Lions and Giants', Wild Dog Island', 'Shamwari' and 'Meerkat Manor'.
Wild Dog Island, Mondays at 9pm.
Get up close and personal with nature as we embark on a fascinating journey to Wild Dog Island.
Set on a deserted African paradise, the series follows a bold and brilliant experiment to reintroduce six rehabilitated dogs back into the wild. Facing a ferocious array of powerful predators, we track these canny canines as they fight to survive in a deadly new home. How will they fare as they encounter life outside of captivity? With expert analysis and unparalleled footage, 'Wild Dog Island' follows this heart-wrenching tale from start to finish, as the inexperienced pack fight desperately to find themselves a safe haven in their new home.
Meerkat Manor: The Story Begins, Saturdays at 9.30pm.
Animal Planet presents 'Meerkat Manor: The Story Begins', a special feature film that tells the incredible real-life story of Flower, leader of the Whiskers family of meerkats.
Set in South Africa's Kalahari Desert, Flower and her family struggle to stay together through love and loss, while caring for over 40 meerkat members.
Flower and her family are challenged by rival gangs who want their territory, and are constantly under threat by desert predators. Witness Flower's uncompromising leadership and the story of how she rose to power.
Watch dramatic flashbacks from birth, catch a glimpse into turbulent early years of sibling rivalry, her eviction, attack by rival gangs and the final twist of fate that results in her rise to ultimate dominance.
