Life in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley exists in two very different worlds: the wet and the dry. The wet season is green and bountiful, but the dry season is one of the toughest on Earth. For seven months of the year, animals must cope with scorching temperatures and almost no rain. Now, climate change is making conditions even more extreme. Follow creatures of all sizes as they clash over limited resources in this vast wild kingdom, where each day is a struggle to survive.
