Young
& Wild:
Meet Africa's animal babies.
What do lions, giraffe, rhino, seahorses, warthogs and snakes have in
common? Babies. Meet Africa’s animal babies – stars of this wildlife
series.
Gawky, lumpy or ugly, or cute and cuddly, the young of Africa’s wild
spaces are as varied as that great continent. Their parents inhabit
every possible terrain – desert, sea, savannah, forest, mountain. The
wild babies of Young & Wild will experience extreme heat, extreme cold,
extreme wet, extreme danger from the moment they’re born.
Survival is the name of their game. Some are born ready to run, like a
baby impala. Others take days to find their legs. Some, like newborn
chimps, cling to mum – a baby’s survival kit – for months. Others
instantly go it alone, trusting basic instincts to make their way in
life.
For Africa’s wild parents range from the caring lioness to the casual
chameleon. Each has its own unique way of bringing up baby, protecting
it, teaching it the vital rules of life – who’s friend, who’s enemy,
who’s family, who’s boss.
From birth to bonding, playing, feeding, fighting or fleeing, the young
animals of Young & Wild learn the rules of life, until finally they’re
ready to have babies of their own.
