Great Migrations

Creatures whose lives depend on their ability to get up and go.

In Science of Great Migrations viewers will see how the latest tagging technology helps scientists better understand the movements of creatures great and small; how texting could save a species from extinction; and how mathematical models might be able to predict a herd's survival.

The annual search for greener pastures means life must go on the march. Desperate herds, flocks, mobs and schools wage global searches for sustenance, while hungry predators lie in wait.

Migrations are races against time. Seasons change - freezing temperatures and scorching heat usher in a crisis. Trillions of creatures must dash for safety, running a gauntlet of stealthy predators. Safe havens are vanishing and migrating animals must stay one step ahead of a changing planet.
