声音是自然的语言。对于全球各地的动物，它们每天的生活和生存斗争——从出生到成年时期的求生，再到寻找配偶，声音在其中扮演了关键角色。在这一开创性的系列纪录片，大卫·艾登堡探索动物以怎样的特殊方式倾听声音、制造声音，声音又是如何影响动物的决策。本节目使用先进的声响技术揭示观察动物行为的新视角以及对动物行为的新理解。我们将了解宽吻鳄幼鳄如何从蛋壳中和彼此交流，狮子和鬣狗如何在黑暗中用声音展开对决，一种奇特的鱼如何用神秘的低吟让当地居民感到疑惑不解，以及一些鸟儿如何掌握了能产生惊人效果的模仿技术。

23岁的女孩玛丽娜，在父亲的抚养下长大在海边一处工厂附近。在她眼中，人类既古怪又讨厌，玛丽娜总是保持着距离，她所有的教育都来自Suicide乐队的歌曲、英国bbc主播大卫·艾登堡的自然纪录片以及自己唯一的朋友贝拉。一天，镇上来了一名陌生人要和她玩一盘桌上足球。玛利亚的父亲与此同时，正在仪式性地准备着他同“被高估”的二十世纪的告别。

《大自然的女王》以世界各地的母系氏族和女性领袖为主角，讲述了一个关于牺牲和坚韧的故事，同时也是一个关于友谊和爱的故事。这些女王并不总是和蔼可亲或温文尔雅，她们为了家庭的成功和安全不惜一切代价。在奥斯卡金像奖终身成就奖得主安吉拉·贝塞特铿锵有力的旁白引导下，《大自然的女王》首次以女性视角聚焦自然世界。制作历时四年，由来自世界各地的女性领导的制作团队掌镜。

《鸟与梦飞行》副导演雅克·克鲁佐的又一部力作。 　　这次Jacques Perrin并不只关注鸟儿的迁徙，而是用这本纪录片将不同的季节串连起来，并加入了海鸟的章节。 　　音乐和镜头非常神奇，还有卓越的摄影，尽在这本《大自然的翅膀》之中。 　　鸟的历史很早以前便开始了，它要远远早于人类的历史。它们看到了翅膀下的大陆漂移、海洋干沽、冰川开化、看到了热带的天堂变成了沙漠，冰冻的土地变得繁茂，百万年之后，它们看到一种哺乳动物用它的双脚直立起来。这就是我们人类。人类在非常短的时间内改变着这个星球的外表，也剥夺了许多原本属于鸟类的生活空间。今天我们可以用较完美的影像记录下它们身影，让更多的人了解了他们的美丽和可爱，但谁又能保证它们永远不会从我们人类的视野中消失呢？ 　　春夏秋冬篇(EP1.2)主题是生存以及生活。讲述候鸟如何顽强地生存，继续着它们一年一度的在世界各地周而复始的旅行往返，它们逃离剥夺它们食物的严冬，并在美好的季节飞回它们遥远的产卵地，寻找着永远属于它们自己的夏天。展示了候鸟一年四季的生活，它们的所遇、它们的情爱、它们的家庭、它们的孩子，还有大自然的无限美丽。 　　海鸟篇(EP3)主题是爱情与延续。介绍了北大西洋广袤的海鸟世界。每年一次它们放弃大海的上空，来到海岸上安家，它们返回陆地的唯一理由就是扶育雏鸟。 　　ps:这是在法国一上市就绝版了的完整3小时24分长度的限量版本，是《鸟与梦飞行》一片的一次彻底完结。

大卫·爱登堡爵士已步入94岁高龄，这部独特的纪录片展现了这位传奇人物背后非凡的形象。该片记录了他非凡的人生，从童年时代的对化石的狂热到早年的主持人经历，再到参与了许多创新的节目，这些节目通过首创的3D和4K等技术改变了自然历史节目的原本形态。这段旅程记录了爱登堡历年的旅程——从加拉帕戈斯群岛到加拿大山区，再到婆罗洲丛林。结合独家幕后镜头，现场采访和令人惊叹的时刻，这部影片捕捉到你从未见过的爱登堡

Genius of Nature 　　Synopsis 　　Life has been evolving on Planet Earth for nearly three and a half billion years. In that time the process of natural selection has shaped creatures able to survive in virtually every corner of the planet, from boiling hot springs to the crushing pressures of the Marianas Trench at a depth of 11 kilometres. 　　And in those three and a half billion years, the survivors have needed to move around their chosen habitat, avoid being eaten and find food themselves. Natural selection has been like an arms race, honing animals, giving them speed and agility to hunt their prey and ability to hide from their own predators. 　　Just 10,000 years ago, as the world emerged from the last Ice Age, one species evolved the intelligence to manipulate the natural world as never before. Homo sapiens – the wise man. And in the last few decades, those wise humans have realised that the answers to many of our technological problems can be found in the vast library of nature. 　　Each program begins by identifying a selection of human problems, explores how nature has solved these difficulties, and then reveals how modern science has adapted nature’s solution to our own ends. In some cases, nature’s solution is still far beyond our capabilities and we have had to invent an ingenious parallel solution. 　　The visual style includes blue-chip natural history, including time-lapse and ultra-slow motion, along with spectacular experiments, with scientists uncovering nature’s secrets and the engineers testing bold new designs. 　　The stories are visually linked by the use of an elegant ‘Library of Life’ set. Specially built and looking like a super-modern museum store, the set is packed with specimens and skeletons and can be extended to infinity with CGI – to suggest the sheer scale of possibilities for inspiration from nature. This set also forms the backdrop for many of the experimental settings. 　　EPISODE 1: SENSING 　　We, as humans, have fairly advanced senses, but there is a great deal we can learn, copy and develop from nature. This programme looks at how we can draw on millions of years of evolution to enhance our own technology and methods of sensing the world around us. Some of the animal kingdom’s great ‘sensers’ include the common seal, whose whiskers can detect water turbulence over 30 seconds after it was generated; African elephants who are able to ‘hear’ sounds through their feet from potentially over 2 kilometres away and bats, whose ability to echolocate, has lead to the new design of a walking cane for the blind, and even a bike that can be ridden by a blind cyclist. 　　EPISODE 2: EXTREMES 　　We have taken cues from nature’s most extreme examples to help ourselves in as many applications as possible. Huskies survive in the coldest places on earth and so are covered in thick fur, but can also avoid overheating in warmer climates. Based on their cooling methods scientists have developed the ‘Bear glove’ to help stop humans from overheating. Copying a giraffe’s ability to regulate the blood pressure in its head, Swiss scientists have developed a suit for fighter pilots to wear, allowing them to stay conscious when experiencing more than 9G. And crash helmets are now being improved by copying the way woodpeckers protect their brains when they undergo 1200G, hammering their head against a tree. We have learnt from some of nature’s most extreme evolutionary adaptations to make our lives just that little bit easier and safer. 　　EPISODE 3: ARMS RACE 　　Evolution is a race. A survival of the fittest. And because of this, nature has come up with some incredible answers to our planet’s difficult questions. Animals’ exoskeletons, which make them strong, protected from predators and mobile, now provide inspiration for scientists hoping to aid disabled people to walk. The cuttlefish’s ability to camouflage itself in almost any marine environment has lead to the development of specialist camouflage technology for the military. And even an owl’s wing is now being used to make our world a tiny bit quieter. Fan companies are studying their ability to fly silently and copy this for their product’s fan blades. The race to be stronger, better, quieter, faster has given us answers from nature that we can copy to advance ourselves. 　　In these three one-hour episodes of ‘Genius of Nature’, we look at some of those most remarkable creatures on the planet, how they’ve evolved to move around, how they’ve become adapted to attack and defend themselves and how they manage to survive in extreme environments. 　　 　　In addition, a presenter-led version, starring Richard Hammond, titled ‘Miracles of Nature’, is also available. 　　Produced by Terra Mater Factual Studios and Oxford Scientific Films in co-production with BBC
