Greatest Wildlife Show on Earth/Great Natural Wonders of the World (1999)

A spectacular film which reveals, over the period of one year, wildlife from Earth at its most stunning, colourful and multitudinous.

The journey brings sights such as 50 million monarch butterflies swarming in the forests of central Mexico, three million flamingos feeding in an African soda lake, one hundred thousand garter snakes congregating for a mass mating frenzy, a noisy crèche of emperor penguins huddled with their chicks in Antarctica and hundreds of dolphins playing together off the coast of New Zealand. This spectacular journey ends with a full moon over The Great Barrier Reef, triggering coral and many other species to spawn at the same hour creating the biggest 'snowstorm' on earth.
