About This Show
Spend an evening in the company of BAFTA-winning presenter and bestselling author Clare Balding, as she shares the heroic, heart-warming, and sometimes hilarious, true stories of some of the remarkable creatures who have changed our world for the better. Heroic Animals: 100 Amazing Creatures Great and Small is Clare’s brand-new book, celebrating all kind of incredible feats and moving moments which highlight the special bond between human and animal. There are the animals you might expect – dogs, cats, birds, chimpanzees – and then there are the ones who don’t often get the headlines, such as Ning Nong the elephant whom saved a young girl from the tsunami in the Indian Ocean, along with cameos from a camel, a giant tortoise, a rhino, a giraffe, and even an octopus.
