Life Force is a breath-taking, blue-chip documentary series that celebrates and explores the unusual, the unexpected ... and the downright bizarre. This series reveals incredible habitats where nature has allowed eccentric animals, eclectic lifestyles and unorthodox patterns of behavior to flourish through the miracle of natural selection and the magic of evolution.
Africa's Albertine Rift: Africa is being ripped in half by tectonic upheaval. The same forces that have driven the ancient continent apart have also left many unique species to evolve in relative isolation. Evolutionary oddities like lungfish, shoebill, okapi and siafu or Africa's killer ant are all found in this region. Here, Chimpanzees and Bonobos show vastly different social bahaviours -- separated by the Congo river, could subtle changes in environment be the key to this genetic difference.
Life Force 2 is a global production, partnering NHK and NHNZ with CCTV9, Science Channel, Discovery Networks International, Arte and SVT.
