David Attenborough has previewed his latest nature documentary ahead of its release this Sunday.
Stunning footage from the documentary shows the diversity of the Asian continent after the team toured the continent for four years.
The series will show animals as far north as the Baikal seal in Russia and as far south as the pangolin in Singapore.
Thanks to their hard work, never-before-seen footage of rare animals was filmed.
This includes a Gobi bear, one of only 32 left in the world, and marks the first time this endangered species has been captured on camera.
The team also managed to capture images of one of the rarest birds in the world: the Javan green magpie.
