WARNING - contains EXPLICIT scenes of animal dissections.

Season 1 Episode 1 : The Elephant

Inside Nature's Giants dissects the largest animals on the planet to uncover their evolutionary secrets. Most wildlife documentaries tell you how an animal behaves, but by dissecting the animal and studying its anatomy we can we can see how an animal works. Experts in comparative anatomy, evolution and behaviour will put some of the most popular and enigmatic large animals under the knife. Veterinary scientist, Mark Evans, will interpret their findings, biologist Simon Watts tests the animals' physiology in the field and Richard Dawkins traces back the animals' place on the tree of life.

This programme looks at how evolution has overcome the challenges of being as big as an elephant. Elephants feed on plants with very little nutritional value for 18 hours a day, so evolution has given them vast intestines as well as huge teeth and jaw muscles - and an equally gigantic head. But this produces another problem: how to reach food on the ground. The solution is the most versatile limb on the planet - the trunk. Capable of everything from picking up berries to ripping a tree from the ground, the trunk is a wonder of evolution. It's a Just So Story for the Darwinian age.

  • Yes, because everyone knows that bats are birds and snakes talk people into doing stupid things on a daily basis. We all know dragons, unicorns and basalisks exist and that if you show a pregnant goat a cloth with stripes on it, the kids will be born with stripes too. Yeah, lets all gather round and listen to the wisdom of the Bible.

    LOL.

  • I can't believe they dissected Oprah on TV.
