The Americas

The Atlantic Coast, where wild horses battle, bald eagles hunt ospreys, sharks protect fish, raccoons navigate the city, and black bears forage in ancient forests.

Mexico, where deserts meet tropics. See footage of fledgling pygmy owls, orca hunting, new species in flooded caves.

The Wild West, where coyotes roam Yellowstone, rattlesnakes emerge in the hundreds, bison battle on the Great Plains, and cranes gather on their age-old migration.

The largest rainforest on Earth. Giant otters hunt together, black caiman prey on baby turtles, a harpy eagle chick's first days, and army ants on the move.

The Frozen North, where wolves and polar bears vie for food, hares outsmart lynx, and walrus sing on rocky shores, all before summer arrives.

The Gulf Coast, where wetlands shelter bears and alligators, manatees meet freshwater springs, burrowing owls seek love, and a rare ocelot raises her kittens.

The Andes, Earth's longest mountain range. Baby bears make dangerous descents, hummingbirds pursue mates, frogs freeze and revive, and lizards fight for territory.

The Caribbean, where sailfish hunt with speed, sperm whales dive for squid, millions of red crabs migrate to the sea, and capuchin monkeys use tools to survive.

The West Coast, where wolves scour shorelines, sea otters dive through surf, blue whales race and roll in a rare display and octopuses sacrifice for their young.

Patagonia, where Pumas prowl the mountains, rockhopper penguins ride the waves, giant stag beetles climb high, orcas learn to hunt, and seals fight for dominance.
