Animal Babies

The great plains of Africa are home to some of the most iconic animals on the planet. Growing up here means Safari Babies face immense challenges that will really test them. With the largest herds on the planet all competing for the same food, and dangerous predators round every corner, the African savannah is a hugely competitive place.

70% of our planet is covered in water. Many animals that live in water come on land to have their babies, being born this way presents some major challenges for Water Babies to overcome. For some, simply getting to water in the first place can be the biggest trial of their young lives, whilst other have to face up to their first swimming lesson or get to grip with vital adult skills. With pounding waves, deadly currents and hordes of hungry predators growing up as a water baby is full of challenges to overcome.

Mountains cover almost a quarter of the earth's land surface yet they are some of the most challenging places for animals to live. It's hard enough surviving on these sheer cliffs and snowy mountainsides if you're an experienced adult, but for a baby it's an immense struggle. Mountain Babies must battle extreme weather and hungry predators. With food difficult to find, they have to work hard for every mouthful. Just getting around this hazardous environment is a tough ask for the youngsters.
