EPISODE 1

Secret Life of Snakes

With more than 300 species, the snakes of Australia are as diverse and striking as the landscape they inhabit. Discover their clever hunting techniques, along with the ways their favourite prey, lizards, have evolved to outwit them.
EPISODE 2

Secret Life of the Dingo

Descended from the Asian wolf, dingoes have been in Australia for over three thousand years. As apex predators, they keep feral animal numbers in check, but the introduction of non-native sheep and cattle has caused them problems.
EPISODE 3

Crocodiles are formidable predators, superbly adapted with skull-crushing jaws and lightning speed. They were on Earth long before the dinosaurs, and have outlived them by millions of years. Now protected in Australia, their numbers have surged.
EPISODE 4

Secret Life of the Flying Fox

Australia is home to one of the most successful mammals on the planet: the bat. And one of the most gregarious of its kind is the flying fox. With its metre-long wingspan, the grey-headed flying fox is the largest fruit-eating bat in the country.
