You Won't Believe What's Hiding Inside These Giants - Inside Nature's Giants

Editor's Take

The method is frank and clinical, treating the body as evidence of how a giant is built to survive. It is anatomy as storytelling, not for the squeamish but genuinely instructive.

Presented by vet Mark Evans, this feature examines the hidden anatomy of some of the planet's largest animals, beginning with hippos in Zambia's Luangwa Valley, home to the greatest concentration of them on Earth.
