Planet Earth Live
  • Planet Earth Live is the biggest live wildlife broadcast ever undertaken.

  • As a child, Richard Hammond started his own wildlife club and armed with a nature kit set out to study the wildlife in his Solihull garden.

  • In Africa, Richard will be joining Kenyan elephant researcher David Daballen who knows more than 700 of the Samburu elephants by name.

  • Our closest relatives, the chimps and gorillas, laugh when tickled.

  • Dolphins can point with their bodies and have been known to communicate an object's location to human divers.

  • Flamingos are only red because of the food they eat.
