Lying in the north-western corner of South Africa, De Hoop is a desert like no other. It's home to some of the planet's biggest and smallest animals.

From the dry plains of the interior come the most recognizable images of Australia, the monolithic red rock of Uluru, the languid, bounding Red Kangaroo. The Arid Heart of Australia is vast and iconic.

Heidelberg Castle, despite being in ruin for centuries, stands alongside the river Neckar in Germany. Surrounded by a protected nature reserve, the castle is home to a family of birds of prey and acts as a spawning ground for nearby amphibians.

Near France's mountainous border with Spain sits a centuries-old fortress. Carcassone has been a centre of wealth and culture for nearly two millennia, but it is the wildlife that surrounds the structure that relies most heavily upon it now.

In modern day Slovenia lies the world's largest castle carved into a cave. Predjama has provided protection not only for its Medieval human inhabitants, but has also served as a haven for the birds, boars and mountain goats that surround the region.

The marvellous Alhambra sits atop Sabikah hill in the Grenada region of Spain. For centuries, states have fought back and forth to control the fortress, but today the castle stands as a refuge for the wildlife of the surrounding area.

Despite being one of Germany's most-visited attractions, Neuschwanstein castle and its surrounding forests also hold importance for a variety of creatures and has been a natural haven for centuries.

Introducing some of the big characters including `class clown' Valentino and `Big Boy' Beni. There is also an emergency arrival with teenage mum Clara and her baby Clarita and vets round up the older orangutans, who are now ready to be released.

`Class Clown' Valentino is busy showing off, and the staff decide that `Big Boy' Beni needs to lose weight. Teenage mum Clara and her baby Clarita face a return to island life and they welcome a new pupil: Alba, the only reported albino orangutan.

Vet Arga rescues an orphaned one-year-old orangutan with a broken wrist. Meanwhile, Beni attempts Jungle School's biggest ever banana heist and five adult orangutans are released into the wild.

Valentino, Yutris and the rest of group two have fun as they visit group three's flooded classroom; three quarantine infants get the results of their TB tests; the residents of Bangamat Island do not welcome newcomers leading to a confrontation.

Moving day arrives for the nursery school kids, Beni gets a beating from a bully, the socialisation cage has a new queen, and dominant male Pujon is still on a time-out after attacking Alba but is allowed a second chance to bond with his rival.

The southwest corner of New Zealand's South Island is hemmed in by giant mountains and the rough Pacific Ocean. Rare penguins are locked in a daily game of cat and mouse with giant New Zealand sea lions. The sea lions also live in a tumultuous world, where pups must battle the elements to survive.

In southwestern New Zealand, deep fiords and tidal lagoons are wrapped in green rainforest. The dark fjords harbour creatures normally found in the deep. As winter approaches, bottlenose dolphins must escape their freezing fjord, while in a mountain river, a longfin eel heeds the call of the sea.

The south-eastern coast of New Zealand are some of the richest fishing grounds in the world. Young marine animals transition from novices to independent adults. Young whales, dolphins and seals learn to hunt, learn the rules of society, or strike out on their own adventures.

Exploring the shores of the Northern Territory and the abundant waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Facing flooded roads, hungry saltwater crocs, and killer jellyfish, Lizzie investigates why so many strange creatures make this remote area home.

Saying goodbye to the tropics and dipping into cool southern coast waters, biologist Lizzie Daly comes face-to-face with majestic grey nurse sharks, shape-shifting cuttlefish, huge blue whales, penguins, and sea lions.

Completing the trip's final lap in the untamed lands where Australia's interior desert meets the hot, hostile Indian Ocean, Lizzie confronts the challenges of survival in this region as she dives with tiger sharks, manta rays, and nomadic turtles.

South Africa's annual summer sardine migration sees billions of sardines travelling up the coast.
