Sir David Attenborough is back with a new nature series called Parenthood, which explores how animals around the world care for their young.

The six-part series took three years to film and was shot across 23 countries and all six continents.

The show focuses on how different animals protect, feed, and teach their babies. While past shows have focused mainly on baby animals, Parenthood puts the spotlight on the hardworking parents. It reveals how they build homes, find food, and keep their little ones safe from danger.

Each episode looks at parenting in a different environment, such as jungles, oceans, grasslands, and freshwater areas. Viewers will see amazing footage of both familiar and rare creatures, including dolphins, monkeys, spiders, crabs, and the endangered Iberian Lynx in Spain.

The team used new filming techniques to capture never-before-seen behaviour. For example, they followed hippos in the dark using special infrared cameras. One special moment in the series includes a bird called the Pheasant-Tailed Jacana, which was filmed rolling its eggs—something never caught on camera before.
