Giraffes: Africa's Gentle Giants
Documentary. In a daring mission, Dr Julian Fennessy and a determined Ugandan team plan to round up 20 giraffes to take across the Nile River and beyond to safety.
Everyone loves giraffes, but what do we really know about them? Dr Julian Fennessy starts to reveal their secrets - the most important being that they are disappearing. In an urgent and daring mission, with a determined Ugandan team, he plans to round up 20 of the world's rarest giraffes to take across and beyond the mighty Nile River. The stakes are high, but if they succeed the reward will be a brighter future for an animal we have somehow overlooked.
