The top 10 most incredible natural history moments from BBC Earth have been compiled into a handy video on its YouTube channel.

Watch animals in the wild fighting to survive - from a battle between an iguana and snakes, a penguin repeatedly escaping a deadly end at the hands of a seal and, the top clip, a lion attacked by a pack of hyenas.

If that is not enough, the channel has four more clips counting down the 50th to 11th top natural history moments.

Grab your trivia-loving friends to support independent cinema The Projector by participating in a virtual film quiz tonight at 8pm.

The ticketed online event, held by The Projector's Intermission Bar, costs $10 a person, with registrations closing at 7pm tonight.

All proceeds will go towards helping The Projector during the Covid-19 shutdown.

Participants can form teams of up to eight people and battle fellow film enthusiasts over Zoom.

The 54-year-old says: "I enjoy sourcing fresh clay materials from the local ground. I have found that they are quite easily obtainable in Malaysia."

The pandemic has also limited his access to materials and space for creation.
