Episodes: S1 E4 Tidelands — In America’s far North, tidelands are gripped by snow and ice for over half the year. When spring arrives with its brief window of fair weather, nature provides in abundance…but the opportunity is fleeting. Brown bears, great blue herons, bald eagles and dragonflies go on the offensive to seize what they can.; S1 E3 Jungle River — Across the tropical Americas, dense and vibrant jungles dominate the landscape. Here, as the changing season heralds a brief respite from the tropical deluge, animals make their plays to earn their stripes. Poison dart frogs fight to the end, coatis hunt through tarantulas for the ripest fruit, and a jaguar and caiman tussle for territory.; S1 E2 Wild Coast — Australia is a land cast adrift since the time of the dinosaurs. Isolated for millions of years, the animals here are like nowhere else on Earth. As the continent becomes hotter and drier, life gets tougher for its unique creatures, like kangaroos, seals, sharks and even spiders, all of which must adapt after devastating bushfires.; S1 E1 The Waterhole — On the great savannah of southern Africa, the dry season is tightening its grip on a small watering hole. Lions and elephants vie for territorial supremacy, while a honey badger engages in a dangerous battle with a venomous scorpion and puff adder, and a group of marauding Matabele ants plots an audacious raid on a termite mound.
