once upon a time all of Britain was
covered in Wildwood
a hunting ground for kings an ancient
home for many beasts few places remain
where this landscape can now be found in
the new forests that world still exists
[Music]
it is an old world full of life where
common creatures live side by side with
the last of the medieval monsters the
new forest contains many unique habitats
here there are trees over 600 years old
for some their time is up but death
brings new life beneath this fallen
giant the earth is stirring a male stag
beetle he has spent the last six years
as an underground grub feeding on the
dead wood now his quest begins to find a
mate before the end of his short adult
life whilst beetles use the trees for
food
another creature uses them to build
amongst the conifers there is a kingdom
[Music]
this fortress may host a hundred Queens
all busy producing the next generation
of workers they might seem like an easy
lunch for larger predators but the
battlements are well defended when
threatened the ants fire Jets of formic
acid enough to make a Robin think twice
drama over the ants returned to business
with an army to feed the workers are
always on the lookout for dinner nothing
the oldest ants roamed farthest they
know this terrain inside out but this
worker may have overestimated her
abilities it’s a dung beetle this
Goliath is far too powerful for a single
ant it escapes onto the heath where the
woodland has been kept at bay for
centuries equina teeth have shaped this
world but the ponies create something
much more attractive at least for a dung
beetle is part of this filled with many
obstacles
[Music]
but at the end of a hard road the beetle
finds a feast
we’re gorse replaces grassland another
monster stalks the heath the tiger
beetle with excellent eyesight and
massive jaws it will pounce on anything
fierce though he is nearby there is a
place where even monsters fear to tread
dry Heath merges into saturated bog
these sundews have a deadly secret their
the victim is slowly digested the soil
here is low in nutrients and sundews
need these supplements to survive this
butterfly is too big for a Sun due for
him the bog is just a feeding ground
but the reeds are also battlefields and
with the Challenger repelled he can mate
without competition there is no
courtship from under Agins the male
seizes any female in his domain mating
[Music]
she flicks them underwater whilst the
male guards her from above the more eggs
she larry’s the more chance some will
survive
this dragon will be dead by winter
during his brief reign he will mate as
often as possible so that in the years
to come it will be his descendants who
back in the woodland the Stags quest is
he has found a female so has another to
win her they must chest the stag has
proved his worth now it is time to claim
his mate this is the stags last act his
genes will be passed on and in a few
days he will die with mating over the
stag does not release his grip but the
female has good reason to break free she
must find a safe spot to lay her eggs
the new forest has been unchanged for a
ancient life still clings to an
old-world this patchwork of habitats
provides a stronghold for creatures of a
bygone age the Dragons the Goliath the
soldiers of a great army the last of the
