Nature's Babies take a long, close look at the challenges facing a wide variety of animals as they raise their young. Like babies anywhere, these bundles of joy need lots of attention and plenty of tender loving care. Whether they romp on four legs, swing from trees, or bounce along in a pouch, their need to play and cuddle is always balanced against their parents' priority of teaching them how to survive in the wild. The family structures of these amazing animals offer fascinating studies of contrast. The solitary cheetah raises her cubs alone, while lions provide a more communal upbringing within the safety of the pride. The majestic elephant also relies on a big family atmosphere to nurture their young, while the giraffe's family circle revolves around a much looser group, and the gnus teach life's lessons to their calves in troop-oriented herds. Then, travel from Africa to Borneo and Madagascar to study the child rearing practice of baboons, orangutans, and lemurs. Baby sitters need not apply in The Land Down Under, as least for those exotic animals who carry their young in pouches: koalas, kangaroos, and real life Tasmanian Devils. Despite all their differences, one common and all important truth emerges... the bond between parent and child is, without a doubt, the strongest force in nature.
