Europe

The latest series from the BBC and Sir David Attenborough explores the continent of Europe - a crowded continent transformed by man, yet still inhabited by rare animals. 5/7, Europe, a crowded continent transformed by mankind, where extraordinary animals are found in surprising places. High above the city of Gibraltar, Barbary macaques - Europe's only non-human primates - live lives full of kidnappings and high drama, whilst in the cemeteries of Vienna 'grave robbing' European hamsters do battle with each other for food. Come nightfall, the forests surrounding ancient Italian mountain villages become the hunting grounds for rarely seen wolves, whilst deep underground in Slovenia's caves olms, or 'baby dragons', can be found lurking in the pitch black. But in this crowded world there is still wilderness. On the far eastern edge of the continent, hidden in the vast forests of Finland, is the perfect place for brown bears to raise their youngsters. To the north, on the fringes of the Arctic Circle, the open tundra echoes with the sound of titanic battles as head-banging musk ox bulls fight for the right to breed.
