- Summary:
- Discover Denmark's amazing wildlife and beautiful nature in a brand new, state-of-the-art wildlife series in five parts. The series presents dramatic events in the animal kingdom of Denmark - telling stories of birth and death, mating and hunger, hunting or being hunted. It's family viewing at its best but the drama is not always for the faint of heart. The animals play the leading roles, but the unique Danish geography and natural locations are also essential elements of the narrative. We meet a yellow-necked mouse out to find a midnight bite, when an eagle-owl swoops down swiftly and silently in pursuit. We go inside a fox den with a mother fox and her newborn cubs, and we soar with a majestic golden eagle while it is out hunting. We spot the anglerfish that camouflages itself on the ocean floor and see it pop open its jaws and ambush its prey. We look on as red deer stags go at their antler to antler, and we admire the aerial dance of starlings in the sky. In "Episode 5: The City", cities have displaced some natural environments but have also created new opportunities for some animals. A mallard has built a nest in a window box, but what will happen when her ducklings have to jump from the fourth floor? Can a hungry fox find food in a concrete courtyard? And will the mother rat be able to evacuate her young when a powerful rainstorm floods the sewer system?
