The episodes are as follows:

LIFE: “Mammals”
Sun., June 6 at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT
On land, in the sea and in the air, mammals are extraordinary and varied – fly amongst one of the largest migrations on Earth; see 30 polar bears gather to feed on a bowhead whale carcass; and witness the biggest fight on Earth…male humpback whales battling for a female.

LIFE: “Hunters and Hunted”
Sun., June 6 at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT
Every day in jungles, grasslands, deserts and frozen wastelands, battles are fought, won and lost between carnivores and their prey.

LIFE: “Plants”
Sun., June 6 at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT
The drama of the plant world is impossible to view with the naked eye. But using the latest time-lapse technology, all is revealed.

LIFE: “Fish”
Sun., June 6 at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT
Fish can fly, sense electricity, swim at over 160kph and even walk on land. From the open ocean to coral reef and storm-ravaged surf to the freshwater springs of Kenya, swim with sharks, mudskippers and convict fish.

LIFE: “Birds”
Sun., June 6 at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT
Birds are supremely adaptable, capable not only of flying at phenomenal speeds and covering great distances, but of displaying a murderous nature, running on water in pursuit of love and even of building intricate structures.

LIFE: “Reptiles and Amphibians”
Sun., June 6 at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT
From icy wastes to arid deserts, reptiles and amphibians have used their ancient, cold-blooded body along with sophisticated behaviours to master the harshest environments on the planet. See Komodo dragons hunting buffalo and lizards that can walk on water.

LIFE: “Creatures of the Deep”
Sun., June 6 at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT
Using specially developed underwater tracking time-lapse techniques, LIFE takes a journey to the unchartered corners of the ocean.

LIFE: “Primates”
Sun., June 6 at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT
Meet the animals closest to us. Primates are uniquely intelligent – engaging in problem solving, communication, tool use and intimate social interplay.

LIFE: “Insects”
Sun., June 6 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT
Insects are the most diverse animal group on the planet. They possess fearsome weapons, yet can display surprising tenderness and sophisticated behaviour.

LIFE: “Challenges of Life”
Sun., June 6 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT
Animals and plants must do extraordinary things in order to survive and reproduce. Sprint with cheetahs as they band together to tackle ostriches; watch dolphins form perfect rings of silt to trap fish; and swim with a seal as it struggles to escape attacking killer whales amongst the ice of Antarctica.
