AN ANCIENT BALANCE.
619
00:51:02,142 --> 00:51:07,522
{\an7}THE RETURN OF YELLOWSTONE’S
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWILD HEART.
620
00:51:07,565 --> 00:51:11,611
{\an7}A PLACE WHERE THE STORY
\hOF PREDATORS LIVES ON.
621
00:51:15,197 --> 00:51:19,993
{\an7}BUT BEYOND THESE BORDERS,
\hA NEW FRONTIER BECKONS.
622
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,124
{\an7}WOLVES AND GRIZZLIES
\h\h\hARE STILL GONE
623
00:51:25,165 --> 00:51:29,503
{\an7}FROM MOST OF THEIR
\hHISTORIC RANGE.
624
00:51:29,545 --> 00:51:32,131
{\an7}BUT GIVEN FREEDOM TO ROAM,
625
00:51:32,298 --> 00:51:35,134
{\an7}THEIR LEGACY WILL
CONTINUE TO GROW,
626
00:51:35,175 --> 00:51:38,220
{\an7}FROM THE PLACE WHERE
\h\h\hIT ALL BEGAN:
627
00:51:38,262 --> 00:51:43,058
{\an7}YELLOWSTONE, THE WORLD’S
\h\hFIRST NATIONAL PARK.
628
00:51:45,644 --> 00:51:49,148
{\an7}\h\h\h\hIT’S RARE TO HAVE SUCH
A CONSERVATION SUCCESS STORY,
629
00:51:49,189 --> 00:51:52,693
{\an7}\hAND IT’S ANOTHER REASON
TO CELEBRATE YELLOWSTONE.
630
00:51:52,735 --> 00:51:55,154
{\an7}BUT WHILE WOLVES AND BEARS
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHAVE BECOME
631
00:51:55,195 --> 00:51:58,115
{\an7}ICONIC SYMBOLS OF THIS PLACE,
632
00:51:58,157 --> 00:51:59,533
{\an7}THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER ANIMALS
633
00:51:59,575 --> 00:52:02,161
{\an7}THAT MAKE YELLOWSTONE
\h\h\h\h\hEXCEPTIONAL.
634
00:52:02,244 --> 00:52:06,832
{\an7}THE PARK IS HOME TO MORE THAN
\h\h\h\h150 SPECIES OF BIRDS.
635
00:52:06,874 --> 00:52:10,169
{\an7}THE NEXT "EPIC YELLOWSTONE"
\h\h\hFOLLOWS THEIR STORIES,
636
00:52:10,210 --> 00:52:14,464
{\an7}\h\h\hSHOWING THE PARK FROM
AN ENTIRELY NEW PERSPECTIVE.
