大象传媒

From the turquoise seas of the South Pacific to the Lost Land of the Volcano, 2009 has been a fantastic year of exploration by 大象传媒 natural history programming of some of the planet's hidden corners and rarest creatures.

Animal behaviour often took centre stage, with memorable human/wildife interactions supplied by amorous parrots and territorial hippos, but the spotlight shone elsewhere too: we've followed the seasons in Yellowstone and across the UK, retrodden old paths for a last chance to see some endangered wildlife, and simultaneously discovered species new to science.

Whether you prefer the homegrown or the exotic, take the 2009 grand tour and find out where the wild things really are.
