1961年的一个炎热夏日，正在拍摄《动物园探索》的大卫•阿滕伯勒从一名马达加斯加当地男孩手中，接过了一些巨大的蛋壳碎片。这些碎片是男孩在覆盖着沙粒的河床上发现的，它们属于世界上最大的鸟类——已经灭绝的重达半吨的象鸟。自从大卫在马达加斯加拍摄完《动物园探索》后，这里就发生了巨大的变化：80%的雨林遭到破坏，而人口却激增了四倍，当地特有的50多种哺乳动物在灭绝的边缘挣扎。阿滕伯勒珍贵的蛋壳碎片能解释远古象鸟的消失之谜吗？我们能从象鸟的命运中领悟到拯救马达加斯加野生动物的方法吗？

大卫艾登堡分享他毕生所学，揭开地球最壮丽水下栖息地的面纱，向我们展示人类正身处最伟大的海洋探索时代，并强调其重要性。在揭露海洋面临的最大挑战时，艾登堡传达了一个充满希望的讯息：以前所未有的规模复原海洋生态并非遥不可及。

在英国的侏罗纪海岸，发现了一个值得注意的2亿年前的化石 - 鱼龙的骨头，一条巨大的海龙。 大卫·爱登堡爵士参加了研究活动，将这个古老生物的故事重新展现在世人面前。 团队使用最先进的成像技术，重塑鱼龙骨骼并制作有史以来最逼真的鱼龙动画。 一路上，这支队伍陷入了一个2亿年前的谋杀案之谜，只有经过艰苦的调查，才能揭开这种非同寻常的生物背后的命运故事。

David Attenborough follows the remarkable story of the discovery of fossils in the Patagonia region of Argentina which prove to belong to the largest animal to ever walk the Earth.

David Attenborough investigates the remarkable life and death of Jumbo the elephant - a celebrity animal superstar whose story is said to have inspired the movie Dumbo. 　　Attenborough joins a team of scientists and conservationists to unravel the complex and mysterious story of this large African elephant - an elephant many believed to be the biggest in the world. With unique access to Jumbo's skeleton at the American Museum of Natural History, the team work together to separate myth from reality. How big was Jumbo really? How was he treated in captivity? And how did he die? Jumbo's bones may offer vital clues. 　　Arriving in London Zoo in 1865, Jumbo fast became a firm favourite of Queen Victoria and her children, and was nicknamed the Children's Pet. Yet behind the scenes, this gentle giant was living a double life - smashing his den, breaking his tusks and being pacified by large amounts of alcohol given to him by his keeper, Matthew Scott. Scott had no human friends but had a deep empathy for animals, developing a particularly strong and near mystical bond with Jumbo. 　　Then, quite suddenly, London Zoo caused public outrage by selling Jumbo to PT Barnum's circus in America where he travelled with his devoted keeper to start a new life. But while his time in America turned him into star with 20 million people coming to see him, his life ended tragically and 　　mysteriously. 　　As well as Jumbo's skeleton, Attenborough explores the lives of wild elephants to explain Jumbo's troubled mind, and he discovers how our attitude to captive elephants has changed dramatically in recent years.

David Attenborough chooses his ten favourite animals that he would most like to save from extinction. From the weird to the wonderful, he picks fabulous and unusual creatures that he would like to put in his 'ark', including unexpected and little-known animals such as the olm, the solenodon and the quoll. He shows why they are so important and shares the ingenious work of biologists across the world who are helping to keep them alive.

大卫·爱登堡爵士将深入地探寻和研究人类历史上最著名的大象Jumbo, 无数著名的书籍和电影的创作灵感都来自于Jumbo，其中最出名的就是迪士尼的小飞象（Dumbo）。这部纪录片主要围绕近两个世纪以来人类对于这类动物的研究取得了多么巨大的进步，通过对Jumbo的骨骼标本的研究，来试图还原它曾经生活的环境和它传奇的一生以及其神秘而悲剧的死亡。

Luminous beings, creatures with their own internal light, enchant and astonish us. Anyone who has seen a firefly or a glow-worm cannot help but fall under their spell. The sea at night sparkles as millions of luminous plankton reveal the shapes of dolphins in a truly magical light show. 　　But why do animals produce living light? For centuries we could only marvel at the beauty and the mystery, but now for the first time we can begin to reveal the amazing truth about living lights. It has taken three crucial technological breakthroughs. Firstly, colour cameras have improved dramatically; they are now over 4,000 times more sensitive than a decade ago. The cameras are so sensitive they are revealing startling discoveries that until now we could not see. Secondly, scientists have entered the unknown world of the boundless deep open ocean with the help of a new generation of submersibles and robots. Thirdly, Ammonite Films have invented and built a series of unique cameras that can capture the faintest ephemeral glow of luminous life. 　　By combining these three innovations, this film shows creatures and behaviours never seen before. Sir David Attenborough is our guide as we venture into a new hitherto unseen world. Bioluminescence is everywhere: in the soil, on the land and throughout the oceans. 　　Join Sir David Attenborough and a team of the world's leading scientists and deep sea explorers on a quest to reveal the secrets of living lights.

大卫·爱登堡爵士将带我们聆听自然的声音，这是关于繁殖和生存的露天歌会。那么这些“歌声”会很快消失吗？从阳光明媚的春天到黑暗寒冷的冬季，自然界中充满了动物的“歌声”。每一种“歌声”都在为我们讲述一个令人难以置信的故事，并吸引着我们去探索更多的自然之谜。鲸、大山雀、琴鸟，吸蜜鸟，以及华丽的鹩莺都有自己独特的“歌声”，有的婉转动听、有的非常惊人、有的充满了悲伤。科学家们发现，不只是雄性动物会“唱歌”，雌性动物也会“一展歌喉”。然而当我们刚刚听到它们的“歌声”时，人们却越来越担心这些歌声会永远消失。随着人类的世界变得越来越嘈杂，地球上的其它地方却变得越来越沉寂……
