What Season 1 of Planet Earth II

Planet Earth II is a nature documentary series that the BBC presents as a follow-up to Planet Earth. David Attenborough presents and narrates it. Its approach is to view the world from the animals' perspective, as they take center stage across jungles, deserts, mountains, islands, plains, and cities. Each episode focuses on one habitat and its most representative inhabitants. The core of the series is the strategies each species uses to survive in very different environments. On the plains, for example, lions take on a buffalo in the flooded Okavango, while bees use elephants to hunt insects.
