Sharks vs. Dolphins: Blood Battle
They've shared the ocean for millenia, but scientists have only begun to understand the relationship between SHARKS and DOLPHINS. New research allows us to peer into this incredible drama; redefining everything we thought we knew about sharks. They're stereotyped as independent loners, serial killers of the sea-but we've observed them hunting in teams, learning, and even passing on knowledge to fellow sharks.

Soul of The Cat
Most people in the world who know a domestic cat understand the wild look in their pet's eye. This film will look at those thinly veiled behaviors between domestic cats and their wild cousins and ancestors, specifically to draw those parallels and to explain to 'owners' what they are seeing when they watch their cat. We will use big cat footage of lions and cheetah hunting and show cats playing or hunting. There will be scenes on cats leaping, landing, running up trees like leopards and all the behavior we are used to seeing in domestic cats, but drawn exactly from the wild equivalent.

But then, for eight intense weeks, violent storms transform their world, shattering their routine. While the risk of death is as high as ever, so too is opportunity for those that seize it. Storm Cats is an intimate portrayal of leopards, lions and cheetahs pushed to the edge by nature’s raw power. Only those that can adapt will survive.

Frostbitten In The Mitten
Central Michigan is in the throes of yet another brutal winter but the staff of Pol Vet Services remains undeterred-no matter the conditions, there are sick animals that need care, and these are just the vets for the job. The first client of the day is a true American war hero… Jypsy, a retired military bomb-sniffing dog, is mysteriously limping on her hind legs. Dr. Pol's got to get this lovable veteran on her feet and back to enjoying her retirement on the home front. The deep freeze of late winter has everyone feeling uncomfortable - but no one more so than Jazz, a horse with a big problem in a sensitive area. Low temperatures and bone chilling winds have caused the fluids in Jazz's penis to swell, so much so that he cannot retract it into its sheath any more. Doc Pol's got a big job ahead of him to put everything back where it should be. While the cold may be causing issues for the animals, it's created ideal conditions for Dr. Pol's next home improvement project, a do-it-yourself bridge using a flatbed trailer. The plan is to hook the bridge up to Dr. Pol's backhoe and roll it across the frozen lake on top of a series of logs. After several attempts and only making it half way across, its clear that it will take a little more muscle to get this bridge across. First thing the next morning, Dr. Emily has an emergency in the parking lot. Charlotte, a potbellied pig is in grave danger-she's in a stalled labor and if they don't get the piglets removed, the outlook is grim. Dr. Emily consults Dr. Pol to figure out the best course of action for this mother and her piglets. After deciding that brute strength is the only option left to get the bridge across, Dr. Pol and Charles use all the machinery at hand to slide the flatbed across the frozen lake. Murphy's law is in full effect as Dr. Pol drives a second tractor onto the ice to make the final tweaks. Diane hears the ice cracking and sure enough, Dr. Pol's tractor goes straight through the ice. After hours of trying to free the tractor, the Pols have to call a tow truck to get this thing out. After tractors, tow trucks, thin ice, and a whole lot of manpower, at long last, the bridge is in place! As Dr. Pol and Diane stroll across their new bridge hand-in-hand, their attention now turns to the island itself- the site of their next project!

The Hummingbird Effect
Costa Ricas motto is Pura Vida - Pure Life - and this deceptively small country is bursting with some of the most spectacular wildlife and pristine ecosystems in the world. All this diversity thrives, in part, thanks to one surprising little creature: hummingbirds. THE HUMMINGBIRD EFFECT ventures across Costa Ricas wild and rugged landscapes to discover the countrys dazzling diversity of hummingbirds, revealing how these tiny creatures play an outsize role in maintaining some of the richest and wildest environments on Earth. Since their first explosive appearance in the Americas over 20 million years ago, hummingbirds have rapidly evolved into some of the most iridescent and colorful birds in the world. Their specialized bodies make them masters of astonishing aerobatic flight, perfectly engineered for harvesting sugary nectar from flowers. In turn, the plants they pollinate have evolved alongside them in one of the most transformative partnerships in the natural world. In the otherworldly highland cloud forest, we encounter one of the rarest and most elusive hummingbirds, the White-tipped Sicklebill. Well discover how these elusive birds with their startlingly curved beaks evolved in partnership with a single species of plant, whose blossoms are perfectly angled to fit their sickled bills. Well also reveal how through pollination, this hummingbird-plant partnership provides a critical food source for a whole community of creatures in the trees and on the forest floor. We travel from the highlands to the remote Osa peninsula, a truly wild tropical paradise, where Howler monkeys, acrobatic spider monkeys, majestic scarlet macaws and a host of charismatic ground mammals all depend on the fruits of the hummingbirds labor. Well discover rarely seen hummingbird behaviors, from single nesting moms rearing their young to a glimpse of how they bathe and groom, to how the Long-Billed Hermit attracts mates by performing in a talent show called a lek, even squeezing a whole song into a chirp. In Costa Rica, hummingbirds are the little architects of almost every environment even the most extreme. On the forbidding moonscape of the countrys tallest volcanic peaks, well meet the rugged hummingbirds that are perfectly adapted to high-altitude life: the aggressive and rainbow-hued Fiery Throated Hummingbird, the Talamanca, named after its home mountain range, and the impossibly small Volcano Hummingbird, a master of the high frontier. Throughout the highlands, well see how other fruit-eating bird species, like the Silky Flycatcher and one of the worlds most ornate and beautiful birds, the Resplendent Quetzal, depend on the hummingbirds pollination. In the coastal mangroves, the highly elusive mangrove hummingbird keeps the salty tangle of trees in flower, providing fruit for boisterous families of White-faced Capuchin monkeys. From volcanic peaks to coastal jungles, misty cloud forests to sprawling mangroves, THE HUMMINGBIRD EFFECT reveals how through feeding, pollinating and living their miraculous little lives, these glittering, jewel-feathered birds bring food, color and life to the crossroads of the Americas.
