This film examines the remarkable adaptations and survival strategies of alpine fauna. From the dominant bear, whose might commands respect across the landscape, to the enigmatic bearded vulture, a unique bird that thrives on a diet of bones; from a lone she-wolf, ostracised from her pack, to the astonishing brown frog residing in snowy realms – each species demonstrates incredible ingenuity to cope with the extreme challenges of their environment.

Creating an Ocean

This documentary follows the construction of a gigantic marine life sanctuary in China: a glass and metal structure that can hold a 100-million-litre ocean. Ocean Kingdom, the world’s biggest aquarium, is on the island of Hengqin, next to Macao. There is not a single place that resembles this dream factory, in terms of construction site size, architectural type or scale, number of marine species on show or in estimated volume of visitors.

Rescues, warnings as towns flooded

Residents have been airlifted off roofs as town centres are inundated and some communities are told to stay indoors amid widespread flooding in eastern Australia. A coastal trough is slowly moving over the NSW mid-north coast, bringing moderate to heavy rain to several towns. More than 150 rescues were undertaken on Wednesday alone, including in Coffs Harbour and Taree, where the Manning River broke the record of 6.0m (19.6 ft) set in 1929, before plateauing towards noon.
