Each episode is themed: The Ocean, The Desert, The Rainforest, Grasslands, Snow and Rivers & Wetlands. In Grasslands viewers will discover why elephants take mud and sand baths, that they can eat an incredible 50 tonnes of plant material a year and can nap while standing up. While in Rivers and Wetlands, we learn that saltwater crocodiles are able to spend days or even weeks at sea, drifting and swimming hundreds of kilometres, that they sleep with one eye open and that they don’t poop and pee at the same time.
“War Machine: Modern Warfare” offers a deep dive into the marvels of contemporary weaponry and the tactical ingenuity behind them, revealing how they revolutionise the battlefield and redefine global defense. From the awe-inspiring power of aircraft carriers to the silent, lethal efficiency of submarines, viewers will experience the most advanced and iconic military machines in existence.
