Wildlife podcast, week 11 2009

This week's podcast takes us first to Neko Harbour in Antarctica where Pierre Minnie captured scenic footage of gentoo penguins carving snowy trails from the ocean up the mountainside on a long climb to their stony nests, set against a magnificent backdrop of icebergs. Then its off to Botswana where Brad Bestelink focuses on the intricate details of zebra and impala herds as they graze and mingle among field flowers that have come into bloom following recent rains in the Okavango Delta. Grant Brokensha gets really close to a large ragged-tooth shark in South Africa's Sodwana Bay, highlighting its fearsome teeth and a remora that will accompany the large predator on its oceanic journey. Podcast 11 comes to an end in the forest canopy of Sumatra, Indonesia as we join a long-tailed macaque troop feeding in the tree tops. Paul Myburgh has captured beautiful footage of a mother and baby shot against a colourful leafy backdrop.
