Planet Earth Live is an ambitious attempt to follow the life and death struggles of baby animals from around the globe, during one of the most critical times in their young lives.
Based in Africa Richard Hammond will be reporting live on all the lion and elephant dramas. Meanwhile, Julia Bradbury is in North America following the highs and lows of black bears, grey whales and sea otters. A strong supporting cast including meerkats in South Africa and Sri Lanka's toque macaques are sure to take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
Be sure to watch these animal dramas unfold over the coming weeks on BBC One.
