Tension among the ibex is growing. The opponent must first be gauged. How big are his horns, how eager is he to fight? Who will emerge as the winner?
The olm, Europe's only cave-dwelling vertebrate, is something of a mystery. There is still so much we don’t know about it. Whenever it can, it eats large quantities of crustaceans, snails or insects and then goes without food for years on end.
The cub of brown bear, born in winter, accompany his mother. He will remain under her protection for another year and a half. It will take a lot more help and following her good example before he become independent.
The white-tailed eagle – a bird of prey with a wingspan of up to two and a half meters – immediately takes control. If the carp wasn't so big, it would take it away to eat elsewhere.
Under the surface of the Adriatic Sea is the ecosystem unmistakably rich. Here are swimming of brown meagres.
A big change is about to take place on the stem of a marsh plant. A downy emerald dragonfly larva, which has spent two to three years in the water, has now grown too big for its chitinous exoskeleton. It's time to shed it.
The tree lying by one of the oxbow lakes of the river Mura didn’t collapse by itself. It was felled by sharp teeth. For the first time in weeks, the beaver will eat some succulent twigs and shoots found only in the treetops.
TRAILER
The documentary WILD SLOVENIA visually presents the very diverse fauna and flora of Slovenia, focusing on mammals and birds, and shows some particularly interesting species of amphibians, fish, insects and plants.
WILD SLOVENIA
In the film, we venture among the highest Alpine peaks and into the remote Dinaric forests; we travel across the Pannonian plains, descend into the underground caves of the Karst world and dive into the Adriatic Sea. The film offers the insight into the secret life of some animal species that live in close proximity to humans, often even in an urban environment, but never quite come to our sight. We witness individual interactions between humans and animals. Throughout the 83-minute film, stunning details from the animal world emerge, combined into compelling and unobtrusively instructive stories shown through interesting footage. More than 50 animal species are presented; monitored over a period of one year and presented in different roles, as dictated by their life cycle – hunting and eating, courting, fighting, mating, and caring for the offspring. With the more common species, that we see frequently, the film introduces some lesser-known features.
The film, which takes place over a period of one year, also takes the viewer through typical Slovenian landscapes and briefly introduces their main characteristics. The plot crosses between the provinces and occasionally returns to the same area in order to show what is happening in the animal world in the second part of the year. A very rich ecosystem diversity, rarely seen recordings, and scientifically verified information weaved into the intelligible text are key attributes of this film.-
