Sir David Attenborough’s “The Mating Game” is coming to Canada and we have your exclusive sneak peek above.
A synopsis for the BBC Earth Canada show reads: “In the animal kingdom, there is a challenge that unites all animal life on Earth – one that allows them to pass on their genes to the next generation and continue life’s precious cycle.
“It is nature’s ultimate quest — the pursuit of a mate.”
Attenborough lends his distinctive voice to the five-part series that “explores the most intimate details of life from every corner of the globe to reveal how animals overcome the challenges of their worlds to reproduce and leave a lasting legacy.”
“‘The Mating Game’ shows the natural world at its most spectacular,” says Attenborough.
“Animals set out to impress one another when they start courtship and mating and my goodness how impressive they can be, so it makes for a wonderful sight. The equipment animals have for their mating displays, the feathers, all the paraphernalia, it can be very dramatic.”
