'Queen of Chambal will highlight the story of the endangered Indian Gharial and wildlife conservationists and activists who are fighting to save the Indian Gharial.

'The Big Cat Special' episode will be about big cats like the Tiger, the Lion and the Leopard. ''Turtle Trouble' focuses on the beaches of Orissa which are home to Olive Ridley Turtles that are dying due to over fishing and developments along the coast.

Finally, 'The Monkey Mania' episode will introduce 13 new species of monkeys like 'Hoolock Gibbon' and 'Golden Langur' found in north east India.
