What do milking ants, silver foxes and pigeon Top Trumps have in common? They form the answers to some of the questions in our very first That's Just Wild: Q&A episode.

Between them Steve Backshall, Lizzie Daly and Sarah Roberts have a wildly impressive wealth of experience of our natural world. Every week we raid it to answer your burning wildlife questions - sometimes serious, sometimes silly - always with some interesting detours along the way. This week they include one of Steve’s near-death filming experiences, some suprising Vampire Bat behaviour, and a look back in time at our ocean's earliest deadliest creatures.

That's Just Wild

Welcome to That’s Just Wild.

A wildly entertaining nature show filled with adventure, behind-the-scenes stories, and fascinating facts, told by the people who’ve seen it all for themselves.

Every Tuesday join adventurer, explorer and broadcaster Steve Backshall, wildlife biologist Lizzie Daly, and journalist Sarah Roberts as they dive deep into the wonders of the natural world. From braving Arctic extremes to swimming with sharks, each episode begins with a bold superlative—Spiky, Freezing, Venomous—and unfolds into remarkable tales of the wild.

Think: unexpected encounters, jaw-dropping science, and nature like you’ve never heard it before.

Then, every Friday, it’s your turn. Our Q&A episodes tackle your most need-to-know nature questions—from how not to become bear food to how long is an elephant’s trunk?

Because the world is wild, its wonders are endless—and we’re here to tell the stories that prove it.
