Secret Forests
Nature series on tiny wildlife. A chipmunk faces rivals and predators, while a juvenile tree shrew, forced into the jungle, has to find food and escape a python.
This is the story of two tiny animals coming of age.
In the wild woods of North America, a young chipmunk is gathering a vital store of nuts ahead of his first winter - in his way are ruthless rivals and giant predators.
In the steaming rainforest, a young tree shrew is forced deep into the jungle to find food. She must draw on all her intelligence and agility if she is to escape the ultimate jungle predator - a reticulated python!
