To help celebrate this series, we have carefully selected a range of clips about African wildlife for you to click through and enjoy. Some of the most iconic species in the world, such as lions, elephants and rhinos are here but Africa is also home to many natural history surprises like shoebills, camel spiders and the “upside down” baobab tree. Make sure you explore our other fantastic video collections too! http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p011x1yq http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p011x1yq Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:37:42 GMT Narrated by Sir David Attenborough Planet Earth was the ground-breaking series that explored the wild and beautiful parts of our planet like never before.

Sit back and keep clicking through this fantastic collection of video highlights from the original series. Highlights include the elusive snow leopard hunt in the mountains of Pakistan, cunning African wild dogs and a great white shark breaching to catch a cape fur seal.

Planet Earth took over four years to film and the results prove that every day was well spent. Planet Earth Live had only a few weeks to film their wildlife characters. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00fxg1n http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00fxg1n Fri, 04 May 2012 14:54:34 GMT The BBC has been producing ground-breaking wildlife programmes from across the globe for over 50 years. Capturing these beautiful and often rare moments means the crew and cameramen must go to some extraordinary lengths. From sleeping underground for weeks at a time, to filming on the world's largest pile of poo. From building table-top sets, to sitting in hides every day for weeks on end. It takes huge amounts of passion, patience, dedication and determination to bring these much-loved images to the audience. This video clip collection draws together stories from series such as Frozen Planet, Planet Earth and Deadly 60 and explains exactly what it takes to make some of the most memorable moments in wildlife television. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00mr6nq http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00mr6nq Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:22:31 GMT Frozen Planet is Sir David Attenborough's latest exploration into the remote and isolated polar environments. This video clip collection is the culmination of Attenborough's unique experiences that span the decades, enabling him to reflect on the incredible fragility of an ever-changing world. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00kf6hs http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00kf6hs Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:24:00 GMT More dinosaurs have been discovered in the last two decades than the past 200 years. Using the latest CGI and cutting-edge research the new series Planet Dinosaur explores the deadly secrets of these dinosaur discoveries. Meet a cast of new dinosaur characters in this video clip collection, along with some old time favourites from the ever popular Walking with Dinosaurs. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00kf6gd http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00kf6gd Fri, 30 Sep 2011 10:55:43 GMT With Ooh's and Ahh's galore this video clip collection celebrates a world of adorable animal babies. Fluffy chicks, cute cubs and playful pups have the power to melt even the most hard-hearted human. Yet just because they are cute doesn't mean they have life their own way. It takes a lot of determination, resourcefulness and even the odd helping hand to grow up in today's world! http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00fxfvq http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00fxfvq Wed, 31 Aug 2011 15:34:55 GMT When it comes to summer holidays, there's no better place than the seaside and if you know where to look you'll be surprised at the wildlife you can find. Whether it’s rockpooling on the beach, bird watching on an estuary or diving for seals at Lundy Island, you won't be disappointed with what you see. Boasting sharks, seahorses, cuttlefish and crabs, the UK's marine and coastal environment is rich, varied and fascinating. So should the inevitable summer rain arrive, at least you can watch the best video clips of that amazing wildlife, all in the comfort and dry of your own home! http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00j5jg4 http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00j5jg4 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 11:18:11 GMT Animal kingdom record breakers - how fast can a cheetah run, how heavy is an elephant and what's bigger than a dinosaur? Watch amazing video clips from the BBC archive and uncover the fascinating facts about our smallest primate, the longest stick insect and the most venomous snake. Meet the biggest, the fastest and the deadliest the natural world has to offer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00hldcc http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00hldcc Fri, 17 Jun 2011 11:59:21 GMT From badgers to butterflies and frogs to foxes, garden wildlife is both varied and surprising. More diverse than the rainforest and covering an area larger than all the UK nature reserves combined, gardens are essential green spaces where wildlife can thrive. Whether you own a balcony or back yard, window box or manicured lawn, this collection pulls together video clips of your favourite garden visitors. Coverage of the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2013 as it happened. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00fxg0m http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00fxg0m Tue, 24 May 2011 10:38:36 GMT Jonathan Scott's unique style brings an emotional warmth and depth to the portrayal of African wildlife that has created some of TV's best-loved animal characters. Born in Berkshire, England, Jonathan has spent most of his adult life living and working in Africa, following an overland adventure that changed his life. Since the early 1980s he has shared his deep love and knowledge of African wildlife with a captivated TV audience, most notably in the long-running series Big Cat Diary. This collection pulls together some of the highlights of a career touched by some memorable animals. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00db3b8 http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00db3b8 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 12:21:40 GMT Like nowhere else on Earth, the mystery and magic of Madagascar leaves a vivid impression on all those who visit, and none more so than David Attenborough. Fifty years ago, Sir David went to film on the island for the early wildlife TV series Zoo Quest. With several return visits over the intervening years for numerous TV productions, the country and its wildlife has continued to capture both his and his audience's imagination. This video clip collection pulls together some of the best moments from those Madagascar films, captured over a time that has seen great changes both to the island itself and in wildlife film-making. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00db3n8 http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00db3n8 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:45:48 GMT Slow motion filming techniques transform amazing wildlife moments into full scale events, and simple action into incredibly detailed video sequences. The results are impossible to imagine let alone perceive with the naked eye. When a sequence filmed at a high frame rate (fps) is played back in normal time (24fps), the action appears to slow down. As camera technology improves, ultra high-speed footage of over 1,000fps produces ever more astonishing images. Hidden secrets are revealed, new science is discovered and tiny subtleties in animal behaviour become perceptible. Explore some of the most memorable and glorious super slow motion sequences of the natural world ever filmed. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00bf3g7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00bf3g7 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 10:10:28 GMT Nestcam close-ups, expert identification guides and specialist wildlife cameras give a privileged view of a very British obsession: garden birds. Whether it's to attract the red-breasted robin, the little Jenny wren or the sensational singing blackbird, we entice birds into our back gardens and outdoor spaces and witness the dramas of their fleeting lives. From the difference between garden, willow and wood warblers to an intimate view of the promiscuous dunnock, this video collection represents garden bird highlights from the BBC's wildlife archive.

Coverage of the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2013 as it happened. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00bt4d3 http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00bt4d3 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 16:58:08 GMT A video collection featuring bugs and insects in amazing close up selected by insect expert and TV presenter George McGavin, with Goliath spiders, killer centipedes, ants and moths. By no means everyone's favourite animals bugs - encompassing true bugs and other creepy crawlies - hold a special place in George's heart and led him to an academic career at Oxford University. Having worked as scientific advisor on Attenborough's Life in the Undergrowth, George became a presenter in his own right. He is now loved and admired for his passionate engagement with invertebrates, whether in the jungles of Bhutan or the back gardens of One Show viewers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00bf3fy http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00bf3fy Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:31:44 GMT Autumn - a time of great change, of breathtaking migrations, of high drama. Its calmer moments of gorgeous light and rich colours contrast with the wild storms and cold snaps challenging wildlife's survival instincts. It's this combination of natural beauty and wild drama that makes filming our autumns so spectacular and exciting, as these video clips from Autumnwatch and other BBC wildlife programmes show. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00bdxqw http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p00bdxqw Wed, 06 Oct 2010 14:22:30 GMT Some of the most memorable sequences in natural history result from timelapse photography, an astonishing filming technique that opens our eyes to a whole new world. Slow-growing plants and intricate animal behaviours come alive thanks to the painstaking and delicate work of the specialist cameraman. An ordinary digital camera, taking photographs at intervals over a long period of time, is edited into a moving sequence, compressing time and occasionally exposing events that go unnoticed in real time. This selection of clips shows the technique at its best and most illuminating. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p0085nk0 http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p0085nk0 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 11:24:49 GMT One third of known species are under threat - do they have more than a future on film? We've unearthed footage of some remarkable animals, plants and habitats that are facing an imminent threat to their survival. The unique selling point of our planet is life. From the deepest trenches of the Pacific Ocean to Africa’s inhospitable deserts, it has demonstrated a knack for hanging on in there. However, the challenges for many species now seem to be too great. Watch, before they fade out. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p0085njx http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p0085njx Fri, 18 Jun 2010 00:00:00 GMT Bees are amazing - not only do they fulfil a vital role in our ecosystem, they are one of the most complex and sophisticated living things in the history of evolution. One bee alone may not amount to much, but collectively they become a powerful and vital force, responsible for pollinating almost 75% of the world's food crops. Without bees our world would be a very different place. Through updates from current affairs programmes to thermal camera footage of bees in action, this collection describes the recent dramatic decline in bee populations, suggests what we can all do to help and showcases one of the planet's most fascinating creatures. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p007rdq3 http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p007rdq3 Mon, 17 May 2010 12:00:00 GMT It's not only humans that like a good joke, animals play all kinds of tricks on one another in their attempts to gain an advantage. Based around the April Fool tradition, this collection of videos features the weirder side of nature where it's not always easy to tell what's real and what's not. Watch animals play practical jokes on each other and on us, and look back at some real gems from the archives where we've tried to fool you in a wildlife world that's often stranger than fiction. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p006r1w3 http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p006r1w3 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 17:00:00 GMT A video collection highlighting the tiger's plight and a celebration of their beauty and majesty. 2010 is the Year of the Tiger, a zodiac sign associated with power, passion and courage, yet these majestic animals remain under threat from human activity. Once found across much of Asia, tigers have disappeared from over 90% of their historic range over the past century. There may be as few as 3,402 wild tigers left, with recent estimates suggesting under a thousand scattered over the last 'strongholds' of India and fewer than 40 in China. Once the region's top predator, tigers continue to face challenges imposed by poaching, retributive killings and habitat loss. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p0063wt7 http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p0063wt7 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 12:00:00 GMT Watch the year's highlights from the BBC's exploration of the planet's hidden corners and rarest creatures: from the turquoise seas of the South Pacific to the Lost Land of the Volcano. With animal behaviour often centre stage, there have been some memorable presenter/wildlife interactions with amorous parrots and territorial hippos, but the spotlight has shone elsewhere too. We've followed the seasons in Yellowstone and across the UK, retrodden old paths for a last chance to see some of our most endangered wildlife, and even helped in the discovery of species new to science. Whether you like your wildlife homegrown or exotic, take the 2009 grand tour and find out where the wild things really are. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p005f9vp http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p005f9vp Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:49:01 GMT In autumn 2009, a major new series brought us life as we've never seen it before. Filmed in HD, the series illustrated the extraordinary lengths to which animals and plants go in order to survive. Watch the highlights and find out more about the wildlife and their survival strategies. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p0057tcr http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p0057tcr Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:53:29 GMT Watch the most memorable moments from an incredible career watching wildlife, chosen by Sir David from the BBC archive. David Attenborough's favourite moments from the last 30 years represent not only memorable personal experiences, but also the diversity of life on our planet and the rapidly changing technological face of broadcasting. From close encounters with some of the world's rarest creatures, to poignant commentary on the state of the planet as a whole, this collection celebrates both an incredible career and the joy of watching wildlife. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p0048522 http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections/p0048522 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:52:37 GMT
