Across 7 episodes plus a 'Making Of' special filmed over the course of nearly four years, this is the first time that Asia - home to the highest mountain range, the deepest ocean, the tallest jungles, and the biggest cave - has been the focus of a BBC America landmark wildlife series.
In Nepal, the series will follow rhinos playing 'kiss chase' in a bizarre courtship ritual. In the foothills of the Himalaya, amidst forests of bamboo, viewers will meet Asia's shyest and possibly cutest mammal: the red panda. Five thousand meters up on the Tibetan Plateau, audiences will witness a lone wolf relentlessly hunting a herd of antelope for hours on end. In Sri Lanka, the show will join elephants that have learned to become highway thieves - holding up buses to get food from the passengers. And in the rich waters of the Western Pacific, cameras will swim with sea snakes that have learned to team up with fish to hunt. Asia will also explore the conservation challenges facing the continent and shine a light on the potential solutions being championed by the region's conservation heroes. From the vast Gobi Desert to the jungles of Borneo, and from the polar wilderness of Siberia to the coral seas of the Indian Ocean, this series will showcase the breathtaking diversity of Asia's wildest places.
