[Photo caption] High and dry: The Natural World charts the effects of drought on the animals of Mana Pools National Park

The Natural World 5.55pm BBC2
From an aardvark digging into a termite mound to a newborn elephant calf struggling to get to its feet for the first time, here is an extraordinarily rich array of African wildlife. There is drama aplenty in a film that records the changing seasons in one of Zimbabwe's national parks. Animals are drawn by the Mana Pools, formed from the meandering Zambezi river, downstream from Victoria Falls.
It is a story of surviving on slender resources, where a troop of baboons mount a takeover bid for more territory while lions and hyenas tussle over the carcass of a waterbuck. We are shown the very different techniques of elephants and baboons for harvesting the fruit of the white acacia trees at the height of the dry season. This is a colourful, captivating film, accompanied by African-style music.
