N.Z. evolution epic made with B.B.C.
Tonight’s “Wild South” programme (7 on One) is a co-production between TVNZ’s Natural History unit and the 8.8. C. It is produced and directed by Mike Andrews, the 8.8. C. film-maker responsible for the award-winning “Flight of the Condor.” “It contains everything you ever wanted to know about New Zealand’s natural history,” says the producer, Rod Morris. “It’s an epic about the evolution of life here.”
Morris points out that New Zealand has been
isolated for about 86 million years and this has had a major influence on the country’s natural features, animals and plants. Over the years geological and climate changes have had dramatic effects on wildlife — the .most obvious being the proliferation of flightless birds due to the lack of predators. Others, like the kea and the rock wren, were originally forest dwellers until the Ice Age changed their habitat
