Narrated by Tom Hiddleston, BIG BEASTS is a 10-part documentary that takes audiences on an epic journey around the globe, from freezing poles to tropical rainforests, to meet nature's most captivating giants. Filmed over two years, the series features some of the world's most massive species filmed across 17 countries, including the gray whale, the elephant seal, the giant otter, the gorilla, the hippopotamus, the brown bear, the ostrich, the orangutan, the tiger and the polar bear.
