Filmed over a week in Zambia's Luangwa Valley, Afterlife reveals an ecological system in action as Africa's most iconic animals - including lions, leopards, crocodiles, hyenas and vultures - fight for survival at the height of the dry season. The hippo is one of Africa's deadliest animals. But when one of these massive animals dies, an astonishing chain of events begins. A hippo carcass is a cache of two million calories just waiting to be recycled back into the food chain. A network of state of the art remote control cameras are set up around the carcass to capture the action night and day as one ton of flesh and bone is reduced to scraps. An international team of scientists and researchers watch from a studio tent just metres from the carcass, analysing the action. With fierce showdowns between rivals for these vital calories, the experts explain the different eating mechanisms of the animals: from crocodiles, who use each other as leverage for a 'death roll' to twist off the meat, to marabou storks, who gulp down pounds of flesh, which they store in their gullets and hyenas that can consume 30 pounds of flesh I just 15 minutes. Hippo: Nature's Wild Feast tells the story of how the death of one of Africa's most iconic animals sustains life for countless other species.

- One-hundred strong, the herd slowly makes its way through the shifting sands, following the promise of ephemeral desert rains. This is the remarkable, precarious, and untold story of a lost herd of elephants that live near the fabled city of Timbuktu. How the elephants survive in this seemingly barren, desolate landscape is a mystery. It is one however that Anne Orlando, a biologist from the University of California, hopes to unravel. For the first time she will track the elephants to uncharted lands and reveal the relationship they have with Tuareg nomads - a relationship which can be both respectful, and bloody. The lost elephants of Timbuktu are completely isolated from other African elephants - they were cut off from each other as the Sahara turned to desert centuries ago. They have survived in this unlikely setting by having a mental map of scattered temporary lakes and marshes. This is the Sahel in the West African state of Mali - one of the most arid places on earth and becoming more so. As drought has intensified over time, the elephants' wanderings between these vital watering holes have stretched into a remarkable yearly migration of seven hundred miles. The Sahel is changing fast - the climate is becoming drier and many Tuareg people are abandoning their herds and establishing sedentary homes around the traditional waterholes of the elephants. This, unfortunately, can only lead to conflict. THE LOST ELEPHANTS OF TIMBUKTU will be an unforgettable adventure into a lost world.

- As the dry season grips southern Tanzania, a pride of lions is faced with a shortage of prey. A big kill is essential for the pride's survival. One buffalo would provide enough meat to sustain a pride for several days. But it's not as easy as it sounds. Weighing more than a ton, the male buffalo is a daunting prospect for a hungry lion. Their herds are made up of many sub-groups of closely related individuals, and unlike other prey who run randomly in the presence of predators, buffaloes close ranks and face their adversaries head on. Many a buffalo bears the tell-tale signs of a failed lion ambush, thick scars running down their backs or parts of their tails missing. More often than not, however, it is the lion that is injured in these confrontations. It would take a certain amount of tenacity, foolhardiness and teamwork on the lions' part to bring this mighty beast down. Intimate Enemies is a film about the relationship between these two great animals as a drought forces them into a titanic battle.
