The first episode features lions searching for a home in the Kalahari, hippos and spiders going to great lengths to provide food, boxer crabs cultivating live anemones to use as weapons, and Iberian lynx adapting to a changing environment.

Ending Today
Inside the Cult of the Jesus Army, 9.00pm, BBC Two
here's the concluding part of this documentary about a christian sect in England.
As more and more people are drawn into the Jesus Army through its outreach schemes, the 'modesty culture' within the organisation takes a dark turn.
Victims of sexual assault and abuse are made to feel as though they are to blame, while the response from the group's leadership is that the perpetrators' actions are sins 'under the blood of Jesus' and therefore forgiven.
After the death of leader Noel Stanton (above) in 2006, Northamptonshire Police launch Operation Lifeboat to investigate the mounting allegations, while survivors of abuse begin to disclose their experiences.
Sunday Cinema
The Menu, 9.30pm, RTÉ One
Satirical black comedy/drama, starring Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Hong Chau and Janet McTeer.
Fiennes stars as superstar chef Julian Slowik, who is something of a Jedi Knight of molecular gastronomy.
Up to 12 patrons per sitting each pay $1,250 for an immersive, theatrical experience provided by Slowik.
Following an artful amuse bouche, Slowik tenderises his customers' preconceptions and the aroma of violence hangs in the air.
All About Eve, 3.00pm, BBC Two
This Oscar-winning drama, starring Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Thelma Ritter, Marilyn Monroe and Celeste Holm, is one of the greatest movies ever made.
Anne Baxter is magnificent in the title role. It’s not often that the legendary Bette Davis isn’t the best performer in one of her films.
Davis is Margot Channing, an ageing stage star who is flattered by the attention of an adoring fan – the eponymous Eve Harrington - and decides to take the young woman under her wing as her personal assistant.
Channing is unaware that her new protegee is really a ruthlessly ambitious, budding actor who will do all that it takes to steal the limelight.
