| 582 | 2 | "The Serengeti Rules" | October 9, 2019 | 3702 |
In the 1960s, scientists explored wilderness, curios how nature works. From the Serengeti, the Amazon jungle, the Arctic ocean, to Pacific tide pools, they discovered a single set of rules that govern all life. Bob Paine, Jim Estes, Mary Power, Tony Sinclair, and John Terborgh share their adventures and how their work changed our view of nature. Among the millions of species on Our Planet, some are key; i.e., keystone species, because they hold the natural world together. The role of keystone species: sea otters help kelp forests flourish, supporting everything from salmon to eagles; wolves enable rivers to run clear and help forests thrive; and the humble wildebeest controls the numbers of trees, butterflies, elephants, and even giraffes on the savanna. Unfortunately, these deep connections also work in reverse. When keystones are removed, ecosystems unravel and collapse. With new knowledge, new hope. The remarkable resilience of nature is revealed, along with how the rules can be used to upgrade and restore the natural world. Note: Based on the book The Serengeti Rules by Dr. Sean B. Carroll. | ||||

"Pura Vida" – Costa Rica's motto. The hummingbird effect brings flowers and fruit enjoyed by all. Fifty-plus species are key architects. Eastern black-crested coquettes stare-down mid-air over nectar-rich verbena. Sharply-angled heliconia ramonensis blossoms block green-crowned brilliants and green hermits from nectar, but white-tipped sicklebills fit. Rainforests host rare species; tamandua, tapir, reptiles, jaguars, pumas, 10,000 insects, and 16 hummingbird species keep Osa Peninsula in flower, sharing skies with 400 tropical birds, parrots and scarlet macaws. Howler and spider monkeys eat guava, passion fruit and figs. Crowned woodnymphs clean feathers in streams. Long-billed hermits gather at leks. Slowed down, chirps are entire songs. Fiery-throated hummingbirds dominate freezing Talamanca mountains. Talamanca hummingbirds have longer wings for thin air. Thumb-sized volcano hummingbirds exist nowhere else. Moms weave nests from plant fibers, moss, webs. Coppery-headed emeralds camouflage with lichen. Sicklebills use hanging palms near waterfalls. Rufous tails perch high. Baby mountaingems and blue-throated goldentail test wings. Only central highland cloud forests hosts two-inch snowcaps. White-necked Jacobin boys brawl, 1-of-5 females fake; "deceptive coloration." Long-tailed manakins flaunt finery; legendary quetzals take the prize. Rare mangrove hummingbirds tend mangrove and inga flowers; white-faced capuchins feast. Hummingbirds bring color, food, and life to the crossroads of the Americas. | ||||
| 635 | 11 | "Niagara Falls" | April 19, 2023 | 4111 |
Straddling Canada and the U.S., Niagara Falls is the world's most famous waterfall. Three-thousand tons of water per second, plunging 180 feet, this geological wonder is central to Earth's largest freshwater system.

Autumnal rains swell streams. Niagara Whirlpool swirls. Beavers prepare for winter; river otters play. Bonaparte's gulls from Arctic National Wildlife Refuge migrate, eating emerald shiners with common terns. A polar vortex freezes Lake Huron; snowy owls hunt. Winter storms generate 25-foot waves. Six-thousand shipwrecks litter the Great Lakes. Mariners nicknamed one area, the Graveyard of the Great Lakes. Sam and his brother surf "the absolute worst weather possible" while the Winter Festival of Lights celebrates a new year. | ||||
| 636 | 12 | "Treasure of the Caribbean" | April 26, 2023 | 4112 |
F. Murray Abraham narrates this "discovery of a whole new world" – 2013: The Caribbean Sea reveals an underwater mountaintop crowned with a vast, pristine coral reef above the Cayman Trench. It's dubbed the Cayman Crown, part of the Mesoamerican Reef. Director of the Healthy Reefs for Healthy People Initiative, Dr. Melanie McField, and coordinator Ana Giró Petersen describe the discovery, protection efforts, and scientific research to save other endangered reefs. They inventory reef life, monitor health, and place temperature sensors. Major concern; bleaching events. Coral expert Myles Phillips of the Marine Wildlife Conservation Society investigates. 2008: Global menace, lionfish are seen. 2020: Guatemala and Belize grant the Crown conservation status. Protection relies on fishermen. Fisheries expert marine scientist Dr. Will Heyman is consulted. The most prized, are critically endangered Nassau groupers. Protecting breeding grounds becomes a priority. Marine biologist Dr. Michelle Schärer studies fish acoustics. She records grouper sounds at Glover's Reef to predict spawning and attract groupers to the Crown. Recovery depends on staunch enforcement of fishing bans. Strict protection of groupers in the Cayman Islands tripled populations. Discovering the Crown sparked hope that embattled Caribbean coral reefs may not be doomed. The team's success provides encouragement to continue. | ||||

Naturalist Peter Walsh reconnects with life after facing the realization his time may become limited by brain lesions. Walsh is drawn to a rivulet in Hobart, the capital city of Tasmanian, where he befriends a female platypus he names Zoom. Over a one year period he follows and documents Zoom, along with a male he names Scoot, as they face dangers from the surrounding urban hazards; rubbish, runoff, industrial pollution, construction, and Autumnal flash floods. In a quest to learn more, Walsh reaches out to scientists and filmmakers, such as Australian wildlife biologist Dr. Chadden Hunter. Wildlife veterinarian Dr. Luke Gregory, in conjunction with the International Fund for Animal Welfare, works to rehabilitate and save another injured female platypus at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. Before long, Zoom becomes famous and citizens in the local community react and respond to the threats against the platypus population, as they retake ownership and care of their neighborhood waterway. Platypus diet, behavior, and breeding is also examined, and against the odds, new life emerges as Zoom becomes a mother. | ||||

| 643 | 6 | "Big Little Journeys: Home" | January 10, 2024 | |
In this special presentation of Nature, the latest camera technology follows six tiny animals on their biggest adventures. Part 1 of 3 : A walnut-sized painted turtle hatchling navigates across busy Ontario Highway 60 at Algonquin Provincial Park in Canada, to reach Whitefish Lake within eight hours before the Autumnal frost kills her, while avoiding predators like red foxes, ravens, black bears, and racoon. She avoids a moose and the lake's top predator, a snapping turtle, and takes her last breath before diving to the bottom to hibernate for five months. A ten month-old Mohol bushbaby is driven out of his South African acacia hollow to find his own new home territory before starving or being eaten by genets and domestic dogs. He finds lodging already occupied by Southern yellow-billed hornbill and rival male bushbabies, after leaping six miles to a safari lodge. It's another five miles to the huge capital city of Pretoria, with rope "highways" installed by the suburban community. Accepted into a friendly city-wise tribe of bushbabies, they raid nectar from pristine white bird of paradise flowers at Pretoria Zoo; fifteen miles in all. Given a chance by humans, wildlife can thrive, even in urban settings. | ||||
| 644 | 7 | "Big Little Journeys: Survival" | January 17, 2024 | |
Part 2 of 3 : The greatest adventures are the smallest. Taiwan's endangered pineapple-sized Formosan pangolin emerges to mate. Food first; 80,000 black ants per day. Hard scales ward against Taiwanese cobra, to climb trees for cocktail ants. After monoculture bamboo plantations, a female's burrow houses gem-faced civet. Fireflies light his nocturnal journey to olive groves with feral dogs. Taoist shrines lead to protected forests, termites, and carnivorous moon bear. Scent alerts him to a female; journey's end. In Brazil's Atlantic forest, endangered golden-headed lion tamarin parents travel to feed palm-sized, two month-old boy/girl twins, and three boys nearly two years old. At ten inches tall, milk bottle-sized, they sprint and spring the canopy at 25 MPH. Black-necked aracari reveal figs, but it's rival territory. Storms reduce temperature fifty degrees, risking hypothermia. A huge tree provides grubs, grasshoppers and frogs, but an ocelot forces them out of his three-mile territory. After five days, a road exposes them to attack. Mother bounds sixteen feet to safety as a harpy eagle snatches a sloth. Another mile dead-ends at farmland. Traveling the forest edge, Wied's marmosets spot an agouti, leading everyone to a cabruca sanctuary with cocoa pods, bananas and jackfruit, ensuring survival. | ||||
| 645 | 8 | "Big Little Journeys: Bloodlines" | January 24, 2024 | |
Part 3 of 3 : A minutes-old, half-matchstick-sized Madagascan chameleon, with only a five-month lifespan, emerges in Kirindy Forest to perpetuating her bloodline. She climbs trees, eating 100 flies per day. Awoken by a cat-eyed tree snake she drops from her branch. Dawn harshly reveals forest is now farmland; she backtracks. Red-fronted lemurs shake her neem tree. Its fruit draws flies. Four months bring kaleidoscope-colored, finger-sized adulthood; a crimson spot draws two males battling for her. She mimics a wind-blown leaf to fool an egg-eating giant hognose snake. Her eggs buried, she dies; life's journey complete. In the Cairngorms, a palm-sized, three month-old Scottish water vole is driven two miles from home by an invasive American mink. Another female fights to the death to protect her own burrow. Three miles further, she swims a loch containing giant pike. Six-hundred feet up a rocky stream, a golden eagle threatens. Five miles from home, she climbs 2,000 feet, spying new territory. Depleted of minerals, she eats red deer antler for calcium. A juvenile adder presents no threat. The valley floor reveals a suitable burrow. A game of chase tests male stamina. Leading him home, her journey ends eight miles from her birthplace. | ||||
| 646 | 9 | "Gorilla" | January 31, 2024 | |
Primatologist Martha Robbins supervises Max Planck Institute scientists conducting long-term studies of Western lowland gorillas in Gabon's Loango National Park. They are assisted by local trackers, men from the Babongo people living at a base camp outpost in Waka. The silverback Kamaya leads a family consisting of Mokebo and her newborn, Ambia and her one year-old Malumbi, and young males Owegely and Waka, age six and ten respectively. Scientists must travel through mangroves to reach the family, which they named the Atananga group. Robbins describes how lowland gorillas differ from those in the Virunga Mountains. Other park wildlife include herds of African forest buffalo grazing the savanna, red river hogs, red-capped Mangabeys, and African forest elephants which rely on the rain forest. They examine diet, movement, social interactions, and threats to their habitat such as hunting, receding forests, and plastic trash collecting on the beaches. Tracker Emile Mapalo elaborates on villager-elephant relations. Waka trackers finally name the newborn Etshutshuku ("The Surprise") and celebrate in song. | ||||
| 647 | 10 | "Flyways" | February 7, 2024 | |
With GPS, scientists map epic journeys of shorebirds from three continents. Migratory flyways are subjected to landscape changed by development, drought, and rising seas. Biologist Richard Fuller and Dr. Micha Jackson study Far Eastern curlew migrating 7,000+ miles from Australia to Northern China. Dutch ecologist Dr. Jan Van Gils studies red knots migrating 6,000 miles from Banc d'Arguin National Park in Mauritania to Siberia. Environmental conservation Phd. Jennifer Linscott studies Hudsonian godwits migrating 9,000 miles to Beluga River bogs in Alaska from Chiloé Island in Chile. Issues include navigation, resting, and hydration. Godwits bypass drought in Texas for South Dakota wetlands. Red knots refuel on German Wadden Sea mud flats. War in Ukraine precludes traveling to Siberia; Jan studies populations in Nome, Alaska with infrared drones. Curlews cross the Great Barrier Reef and the Philippines to land in Taiwan; veterinarian Li Zheng-Feng photographs one tagged AAD. Dr. Nathan Senner examines Alaskan godwit hatchlings. Southern migration is hindered by hunters and weather. AAD stops at Rudong County mudflats outside Shanghai, where seawalls replaced shoreline. Jing Li campaigns to conserve feeding grounds. Godwits fly south to South Dakota farms and trash-filled Panama shores. A typhoon blows AAD to Borneo, before returning on-course. | ||||
| 648 | 11 | "Attenborough and the Jurassic Sea Monster" | February 14, 2024 | |
On England's southern "Jurassic Coast" at Kimmeridge Bay, Sir David Attenborough presents fossil experts excavating a pliosaur. Discovered by Philip Jacobs, and confirmed by Dr. Steve Etches, it's possibly the largest Jurassic oceanic predator. Chris Moore helps with the dig. Attenborough examines the pliosaur snout at Etches Collection Museum, which Steve founded. At the University of Southampton, CT scanners delve deeper. Paleobiologist Dr. Neil Gostling discovers sensory pits. Local farmer, Robert Vernicom devises a crate to haul the 6.5-foot, half-ton skull to the cliff top. Steve then removes rocks to reveal the skull. Paleontologist Dr. Judyth Sassoon, who studied plioraurs for decades, describes more from the location of its eyes and its parietal "third" eye. It may be a newly discovered species from eight already recognized. Paleobiologist Dr. Andre Rowe, a 3D visualization expert, scans the skull. From pterygoid muscle estimates, its total length may be 40 feet. From Andre's model, world-renowned paleontologist Prof. Emily Rayfield, specialized in skeletal mechanics, assesses bite-force at 32,000 newtons. Dr. Luke Muscutt at Imperial College London studies locomotion. Using robotics at the hydrodynamic laboratory, estimated acceleration is up to 30 MPH. Finally, CGI animation reveals how the pliosaur may have hunted ichthyosaurs. | ||||
| 649 | 12 | "Patrick and the Whale" | February 21, 2024 | |
Off the coast of Dominica, cinematographer Patrick Dykstra responds to clicks from a sperm whale by knocking his camera housing, which elicits an immediate, positive response from the whale, who he then names Dolores. A tragic event unfolds on the English Yorkshire Coast when ten juvenile sperm whales strand themselves, begging the question, "Why?" Patrick sets out to learn more by placing a camera below the jaw. It's a deadly risk with an unknown whale, so he tries to find Dolores again. A loud clang mimics a male's call, drawing her in. But she's now with a male, precluding the attempt. He tries again with Can Opener from Unit U, who now has her own calf named Hope. Underwater cinematographer Gail Jenkinson films Patrick's endeavor. Later when the camera eventually falls off, as planned, they locate and retrieve it to discover what the footage captured during a deep dive to hunt squid. Patrick continues with other means to get closer to the whales to uncover and understand their world. | ||||
| 650 | 13 | "Raptors: A Fistful of Daggers – Meet the Raptors" | April 10, 2024 | |
This series reveals what makes birds of prey the most successful hunters. Part 1 of 2 : A 10-pound African crowned eagle with a 6-foot wingspan is the most powerful raptor, snatching vervet monkeys from trees, and taking down 60-pound antelope. In Borneo, soda can-sized black-thighed falconets have high hit rates against birds and insects. At 50-below, Finland's golden eagles compete for fox. Treeless South Dakota Badlands force burrowing owls underground. Bison and coyote dung attracts insects for food. Norway's sparrowhawks need five small birds a day to survive winter. Hundreds of thousands of Amur falcons migrate 2,000 miles from Siberia to Nagaland, India for winged termites before flying to Southern Africa. Goshawks navigate crowded forests at 30 MPH. Arctic gyrfalcons are fastest in open terrain level flight; nearly 70 MPH. Great grey owls pinpoint noise day or night, catching unseen voles under boreal forest snow. Using the sharpest vertebrate vision, a golden eagle's 150 MPH dive decimates a mountain goat. Turkey vultures, flying 200 miles a day, smell carrion a mile off. One barn owl family eats over 7,000 rodents a year. South American red-legged seriema disorients grassland snakes with his wings. It's only half the story.... | ||||
| 651 | 14 | "Raptors: A Fistful of Daggers – Extreme Lives" | April 17, 2024 | |
Part 2 of 2 : Raptors have extreme lives; intelligent castaways, long-distant travelers, resourceful parents, determined survivors. At minus-60, high Arctic, thickly feathered, extremely nomadic snowy owls eat forty (human equivalent) pounds a day, flying thousands of miles on 5-foot wingspans. Taiwan's Oriental honey buzzards are undeterred by extreme killers; Asian giant hornet larvae are irresistible. Extremely adapted secretarybirds are raptors on stilts, walking twenty miles a day on African savannas. Falkland Islands castaways form striated caracara youth gangs, rivaling adults for gentoo penguin carcasses. The ultimate nocturnal hunter, tawny owls fly in moonless total darkness; extreme spatial memory! African omnivorous gymnogene climb, reaching otherwise inaccessible prey with double-jointed ankles. Swainson's hawks, peregrine falcons, and red-tailed hawks exploit twenty-million Mexican free-tailed bats swarming from Bracken Cave, Texas, swallowing in-flight at over 60 MPH. Two Russian species form extreme relationships, eating bycatch from Japanese pollock fishermen; 3-foot-tall, 20-pound Steller's sea eagles and white-tailed eagles with 8-foot wingspans attract flocks of tourists. In central Florida wetlands, snail kites adapted extremely to eat an invasive snail species. Durban South Africa is a city full of vervet monkeys and rock hyrax for African crowned eagle chicks nesting in backyards. | ||||
| 652 | 15 | "Grizzly 399: Queen of the Tetons" | May 8, 2024 | |
May 2020: Crowds cause a "bear-jam" at Pilgrim Creek, Wyoming to see Grizzly 399, "the queen in Grand Teton National Park" (GTNP). Conservationist Thomas D. Mangelsen photographed "Research #399" for fifteen years. He and others comment on how her fame has complicated her duty as mother to protect and raise her four cubs. GTNP bear biologist Justin Schwabedissen estimates 45% of cubs die. Ecologist Trevor Bloom explains, male grizzlies are #1 killers. Males avoid people and traffic, explaining why 399 stays nearby, which bear biologist Dr. Chris Servheen describes as habituation, raising the possibility of euthanasia, despite being listed in 1975 on the Endangered Species Act. 2021: Cubs enter Jackson Hole private property, on porches, raiding beehives, and stride down Jackson streets, caught on police station CCTV. In Cora, 108 miles from GTNP, rancher Mike Vickrey estimates 10-12 cattle were killed by grizzlies. Rancher Kent Price advocates endangerment delisting, and state-managed grizzly hunting seasons. WyoFile environmental reporter Angus Thuermer Jr. and Servheen acknowledge that 399 mauled someone in 2007; Dennis Van Denbos tells his story. Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho petitioned to delist grizzlies, but conservationists argue insufficient gene flow between GTNP, Bob Marshall Wilderness and Glacier National Park. In Hoback, 399's cubs, #1057 and #1058 are captured due to conflicts. Bloom worries that climate change causes chokeberries, serviceberries, and buffaloberries to fruit earlier, causing scarcity of Fall food required for hibernation. 2022: Yellowstone Grizzly Bear Conflict Report (2021), "128 conflicts, 2 injuries, 1 fatality." Her cubs nearly full grown, 399 chased them off that summer. Cora residents Steve and Patsy Gratzfeld spot 1057 on their property. In total, 13 reported conflicts with 1057. Thuermer describes the difference between habituation and food-conditioned, noting the latter is not tolerated. As a result, Wyoming Game and Fish Department captured and euthanized 1057 on 7/12/22. Although tragic, Mangelsen concludes, "[399] changed people's attitude towards grizzly bears... she will likely save bears from being delisted and killed." Spring 2023: At 27 years old, 399 emerged with a single new cub. "She's just one special bear." Note: Nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Nature Documentary. | ||||

| 654 | 17 | "Wild Ireland: Kingdom of Stone" | May 22, 2024 | |
The Burren; a limestone otherworld where only tiny critical scraps of woodland oases remain. Near Mullaghmore mountain a pine marten emerges; two kits revealed by camera, hidden inside their tree hollow. Basking sharks filter plankton. Mysteriously, scores gather and circle, but why? Masters of darkness and water, Daubenton's bats consume insects. Wildflowers like mountain avens and bloody crane's-bill encourage rich insect habitat, where camouflaged crab spiders ambush bees. The kits taste their first birds, rabbits, and mice. Non-native legless lizard slow worms, discovered only last century, are the closest thing to a snake in Ireland. Underground, cave mazes drain nearly all rain, only occasionally flooding the surface, creating turloughs; perfect for three-spined stickleback. Corcomroe Abbey's noisy jackdaws have new neighbors; a kestrel mum with hungry chicks. At six weeks, mum hauls bored kits out to freedom. Twenty-one kinds of butterflies fly the Aran Islands; Ireland's rarest, the marsh fritillary. Fin whales occasionally appear. At four months, the kits explore; mum leaves at the end of summer. Whooper swans migrate from Iceland in October, marking another year to the poet Yeats. Nature at its most perfect. The kits survive their first winter in this kingdom of stone. | ||||

| 655 | 1 | "Silverback" | October 23, 2024 | |
For three months, Kahuzi-Biéga National Park invites wildlife cameraman Vianet Djenguet, of the Republic of the Congo, to document an effort to prevent Eastern lowland gorilla extinction. With only 5,000 left, the goal is habituating the Mpungwe family (named after the silverback) so groups can safely visit, generating tourism income. Chief Guide, Papa Lambert Mongane explains before the war, 630 highland gorillas lived; now, 170. 1980s habituation helped when only 400 mountain gorillas remained. Virunga and Bwindi national parks followed suit; now, 1,000+ proves it works. Papa John Kahekwa describes the community and why habituation is so vital. Djenguet compares methods: 1) Dian Fossey's submissive approach; 2) Kahuzi-Biega founders' assertive theory to win Mpungwe's respect. Day 63: Kahuzi-Biega hosts tourists for their only habituated Bonane family. Pre-war, 7,000 tourists/year; today, 1,800. Reduced income doesn't sustain. Day 81: They discuss political instability. Pre-war they had 5 habituated families. Resuming war, gorillas would go extinct.
