Move as millions..... survive as one!

Move as millions.  Survive as one.  National Geographic Channel’s Great Migrations gives the word “move” a whole new meaning.  This seven-part global programming event takes viewers around the world on the arduous journeys millions of animals undertake to ensure the survival of their species.  Shot from land and air, in trees and cliff-blinds, on ice floes and underwater, Great Migrations tells the formidable, powerful stories of many of the planet’s species and their movements, while revealing new scientific discoveries with breathtaking high-definition clarity.  The miraculous red crab migration on Christmas Island.  Flying foxes in Australia and army ants in Costa Rica.  Wildebeest, great white sharks, zebra and Mali elephants.  Microscopic plankton and jellyfish in Indonesia. The first radio transmitter attached to a monarch butterfly.  The first film crew on the ground in Sudan in 25 years, there to capture the migration of the white-eared kob.  The beauty of these stories is underscored by new knowledge of these species’ fragile existence and their life-and-death quest for survival in an ever-changing world. The all-National Geographic Great Migrations team spent two and a half years in the field, travelling 670,000 kilometres in 120 countries and all seven continents to bring this spectacular first-of-its-kind production to television in fall 2010.
