Animal Planet HD World to air ‘Wild France’
MUMBAI: France is known for its delicious food and wines, great art and architecture and celebrated culture of all kinds. But there’s another side to this popular destination that is not as visible – its wild side. Journey through Wild France with Animal Planet HD World’s fascinating new series and observe life in Europe’s typical ecosystems.
Travel through the country where the rich, fertile and well-watered soil has given birth to an exceptional wildlife. Deep in the French countryside, it is possible for the adventurous to spot brown bears, wild boar, griffon vultures or wolves. These are among the creatures getting the chance and space to regain their old hunting grounds in France’s many mountains, valleys and forests. Presenting the highest-quality footage ever seen, Wild France will air from 21 January 2016 every Thursday at 9 pm.
From the shores of the Atlantic Ocean to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea; from estuaries and wild rivers to marsh lands and wetlands; from high mountains and deep forests to hedged farmland and peri-urban countryside, discover the natural splendour of this beautiful country. Spanning the seasons, this stunning mini-series explores the subtle mechanisms at work in each ecosystem that enable it to flourish. All manner of life, from the minute to the massive, is captured in immersive detail, enabling viewers to examine the incredible range of interactions between species and follow their daily quest for survival.
The show features striking photography and locations all across France, from Alsace and the Alps to the Pyrenees and the island of Corsica, to document the diversity and behaviour of the nation’s wildlife.
