TV Round-up
The monitor lizard is the subject of Lizard King on Nat Geo Wild.
BBC: wildlife in abundance
Let’s begin with BBC Two’s Natural World series. There are actually two programmes from the latest series on next week. Firstly on Sunday, there’s ‘The Highland Haven’, which explores Scotland’s rugged and bleak northern landscapes and features sea eagles and red deer. Then on Wednesday, Natural World follows the life of a killer whale named Luna, which is also the title of the programme.
Remaining with BBC2, also on Sunday is ‘Banded Brothers The Mongoose Mob’ – a series about the meercat’s bigger cousin and one group’s survival in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Ben Folge and Kate Humble discover the wildlife inhabiting California’s Pacific coast in ‘Animal Park’. Remaining on the American theme, ‘Yellowstone’ follows the lives of some of the wildlife associated with that area, which is also famous for being the most far-reaching thermal vicinity in the world.
Satellite TV’s offerings
On satellite, Kate Humble is once again on the small screen – this time she is part of a team exploring the only British World Heritage site on St Kilda in the Hebrides in ‘Britain’s Lost World’.
Those with a particular interest in reptiles will be pleased to learn that this week, Nat Geo Wild focuses on the fascinating, intelligent and large monitor lizards in ‘Lizard Kings’.
