Nature’s Biggest Beasts, BBC 2, 8pm
THEY say size isn’t everything, but try telling that to the creatures featured in this documentary. These are all huge, and while being big has its advantages, there are plenty of challenges to be faced too – including finding enough food to keep those bodies ticking over. Giraffes, for instance, can reach leaves that other herbivores can’t, but sometimes has to feed for 18 hours to get enough nutrients. And then there’s the blood pressure issue involved in moving that neck around... The Earth’s largest land animal, the African elephant, must lug its weight around Namibia’s barren desert to find food – at least the mighty blue whale (the biggest creature to ever have lived) can move easily.
The Big Fish Off, ITV4, 8pm

The Florida Keys is one of the top sea fishing destinations in the world, and although the sports stars have angling experience, nothing can prepare them for the power and size of the fish they are about to encounter. The action kicks off in the Gulf of Mexico and they target the monstrous goliath grouper.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
