Mark's Role

Main Presenter

Conventional wildlife programmes show you what animals do, how they behave. But that begs a big question.  How are they able to do the things they do?  That’s the science of functional anatomy.

Veterinary surgeon, Dr Mark Evans, and comparative anatomist, Professor Joy Reidenberg, dissect some of Earth’s most iconic animals to reveal the evolution and natural engineering of extreme biology.

Animals unwrapped. Natural History like you’ve never seen it before.

RTS Award – Best Science & Natural History

One of the most remarkable natural history programmes I’ve ever seen.  At every turn, you learn new things – and not just things you didn’t know, but things you hadn’t even thought of questioning.

This is a rare thing – a hardcore biological science documentary that will both entertain and enlighten almost anyone who watches. 

It’s also strangely moving.  Because they chop that elephant to pieces all right – but they do so with palpable love. 

Watch it. It’s amazing.
