- On a remote river in West Africa, the tiny island of Tiwai, which is virtually all that remains of the once vast Upper Guinea forest, has the highest density of primates in the world. There are more than 2,000 primates from 11 species on this isolated island. How and why it has survived is a fascinating story.
- The common loon, also known as the great northern diver, is a much loved symbol in the folklore of north America. With its dazzling plumage and haunting call it was also one of the lesser known stars of the film On Golden Pond. Husband and wife team Andrew Anderson and Dodo Humphreys have followed the loon throughout a year on the northern lakes. They explore the preservation work of people who make artificial islands for nest sites, rescue birds trapped in ice, and help to promote the loon's cause in the face of threats to its habitats from pollution, tourism, fishing, and natural enemies like racoons and turtles.

- Study of lion behavior based on research by Craig Packer and Anne Pusey in 1987 in the Serengeti. Pursues the question of why lions are social and live in groups, then shows various methods the pair used to test their primary hypotheses. Illustrates the prevalence of infanticide among male lions and the resulting effect on the social structure of the lion. Research has shown that it is the lioness who are really running the show. The females, a tightly-knit group composed mainly of sisters and their daughters, are the owners of the territory - the hunting grounds that provide food and shelter. The males are outsiders, who have to chase off the resident males and then defend the territory for the females in exchange for the right to mate with them. With never-before filmed behavior this is a surprising new look at the Serengeti's top predator.
