Love in the Wild is a beautiful look into the animal kingdom. Here is a love story with a difference - the players: wild animals displaying the most tender scenes of love and affection. In this special documentary we are given an an insight into a complex web of social behaviour and ritual emotion and instinct. Love in the Wild vividly illustrates the most innate animal behaviour. From courtship and mating to the way they play rear their young and protect their families. These themes are explored in depth beginning with romance in the wild: The art of courtship the most spiritual of all animal interaction. Love in the Wild then looks at rearing: a touching spectacle of family unity. The film soon moves on to the protection of territory. A David and Goliath stand-off in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania where a tense war of nerves between species is fought. The final segment is the most moving that of play. A big litter of lion cubs wrestle while baby elephants splash about together. As the programme concludes we see that animal affection is bound by ritual and governed by instinct and necessity.

The sea snake serpent of the sea is a highly venomous creature its venom is ten times more potent than the cobra. Many native fishermen die from sea snake bites in the islands north of Australia but fatalities are rare in Australia. The sea snake does give its victim a chance to survive. It mouths its prey before it bites. The venom is slow to take effect but without treatment it causes flaccid paralysis - the victim simply goes to sleep and dies. Marion Reef is a coral atoll in the Coral Sea 200 miles off the central Queensland coast and home to a variety of sea snake species. Its blue waters are unbelievably clear - 50 metres visibility is the norm. The corals are luxuriant sharks present and its coral islands are like emeralds in a rainbow sea. It's a Garden of Eden with its own special serpent. Marine scientists accompany Ben Cropp on his vessel Freedom to Marion Reef. A great deal is yet to be learnt about the behavior of sea snakes. Tagging is one scientific program on the expedition's agenda - a dangerous and dramatic program for it brings out the worst in the sea snakes. They are angry when captured and even angrier when tagged and released often venting that anger by attacking the diver. Mating time is another dangerous moment for scientific observation. The snakes entwine in a rhythmic courtship and resent any intrusion. Ben Cropp has experienced their aggression when moving too close with his camera and had to fight off a most persistent attack. Otherwise without human intervention sea snakes appear to live a placid life in the coral lagoon surfacing for air perhaps every half hour. Their enemies are few - mostly sharks and groper - and their fish prey plentiful which they hunt with myopic vision. It's the myopic vision which makes the sea snake boldly and blindly attack when molested or curiously crawl over a diver if he freezes. The latter is the better way to meet the sea snake at close quarters if the diver has the courage to keep very still. This film is a scientific adventure into a remote area of the Coral Sea revealing the special life of the serpent of the sea.
In the underwater world Ben Cropp films amazing creatures with weird and wonderful sexual behavior. An exotic dancing worm that has it's penis inside it's mouth which is sharp enough to harpoon it's food. A busy little cleaner fish that changes sex to keep control of a harem of females. A father sea horse that incubates the mothers eggs in his pouch. Rare Paper Nautilus with a penis as large as his body and he releases it like a missile to home in on the female. Chapters: 1.
