In this unique series, Steve Backshall explores every aspect of fox life; an animal that's a true natural history success. The fox is secretive, spending much of its life out of sight. In this engaging two part special, we explore the life of these often vilified and misunderstood creatures. We’ll witness a vixen give birth in an underground den, see five cubs take their first steps outside, share the magic of rural encounters and witness the harsh dangers a city fox faces in our human world - from cubs being severely entangled in football goals to an adult fox trapped in barbed wire. There’s inner city fox rivalry and a unique opportunity which allows us to follow the life of seven rescued siblings from just nine days old to taking their first steps back into the wild.

Crawling through dark caves, sailing the Amazon River, surfing the Costa Rican coast, and immersing himself in local culture, customs and cuisine makes for an adrenaline pumping, wildly adventurous season. He will also be joined by his buddy Billy Boyd on a quest to New Zealand where they’ll search for the giant wetapunga and return to where it all began for the duo, Hobbiton, home of the Lord of the Rings world for a traditional Hangi feast.
For young Australian adventurer Tim Cope, this was the journey of a lifetime – travelling 10,000kms alone on horseback across the Eurasian steppe through Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine and Hungary. From the former Mongol capital Karakorum to the Danube, Tim retraced the path of the first nomads and followed the route taken by legendary Genghis Khan as he forged his great empire. Over three and a half gruelling years, and guided by an old Kazakh wisdom – “to understand the wolf, you must put on the skin of a wolf and look through its eyes” – Tim lived just as the ancient nomads did.
