How The Wild Things Sleep

Everybody does it differently – but everybody does it: enormous elephants do it for only two hours a day, while tiny bees snooze up to 10 hours daily. Some birds spend 300 days a year up in the air and sleep on the wing. HOW THE WILD THINGS SLEEP explores some of the most extreme sleepers on Earth, as scientists investigate and dig deeper into understanding this incredibly important part of life. How do animals deal with sleep deprivation or the danger of being unconscious while predators roam? These are some of the baffling questions tackled in HOW THE WILD THINGS SLEEP.

Gangs of Lemur Island

Feuding families, civil war, and lovers’ trysts. This is not Romeo and Juliet; this is a troop of ring-tailed lemurs leading extraordinary lives on ‘Lemur Island’. Meet the lemurs of Berenty, a spiny forest reserve in Madagascar, where the primates are obsessed with social rank and status, and have shown to be adept at adapting to survive in an environment of extremes in a changing climate. Science and behaviour intersect in the gripping GANGS OF LEMUR ISLAND.

The Machine That Feels

Scientists see AI technology as an opportunity to address inequities and make a better, more connected world. But it also has the capacity to do the opposite: to stoke division and inequality and disconnect us from fellow humans. THE MACHINE THAT FEELS shows viewers what they need to know about a field that is advancing at a dizzying pace, often away from the public eye. What does it mean when AI makes art? How is it possible that AI creates sophisticated neural networks that mimic the human brain? Can AI interpret and understand human emotions and what does it mean to be human in a world filled with machines that feel? This special seeks to answer and investigate these questions, and more.

Uptown Otters

In Singapore, smooth-coated otters have forged a unique urban lifestyle, living side-by-side with their human neighbours. And the best part? They rule this uptown world. Each family is helmed by a matriarch, and they live and die by two rules: only the alpha female is allowed to reproduce, and intruders are not welcome. The Bay Family currently occupies prime territory – Marina Bay. Meanwhile, the Townies, Nomads, and Mangrove Family have built their own empires around the island. These otters peacefully coexist – as long as they remain in their own territory, under their queen. But peace breeds restlessness. As the Bay Family settles into their home, the other clans are starting to stir, each wanting a piece of this otter paradise…
