Born in the Wild

Presented by anatomist Prof Joy Reidenberg and vet Mark Evans, this series uncovers the extraordinary reproductive behaviours and biology of the animal kingdom. Focusing on four species – elephant, dolphin, kangaroo and orang-utan – we take an in-depth look at how these animals find, fight for and woo the opposite sex in extreme environments. Why do male elephants transform into sex crazed monsters during musth? How do orang-utans give birth safely high in the trees? Why is the pregnancy of kangaroos so short? And how do dolphins mate at high speed? All is revealed in this fascinating series. (Viasat)
