00:00:08,375 --> 00:00:11,745
TELEVISION THAT IS EDUCATIONAL

00:00:11,778 --> 00:00:15,382
THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

00:00:15,415 --> 00:00:18,284
DYLAN: HI, EVERYBODY, I'M DYLAN
DREYER AND THIS IS "EARTH
4
00:00:18,318 --> 00:00:19,519
ODYSSEY".
5
00:00:19,552 --> 00:00:23,223
TODAY, WE'LL MEET SOME OF THE
WORLD'S TOUGHEST ANIMALS AND SEE
6
00:00:23,256 --> 00:00:25,525
EXACTLY HOW THEY PROTECT
THEMSELVES FROM THE
7
00:00:25,558 --> 00:00:27,660
UNPREDICTABLE WILD.
8
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:31,364
NEITHER HIDE NOR HAIR WILL KEEP
THESE MUSK OXEN FROM BUTTING
9
00:00:31,398 --> 00:00:34,401
HEADS TO RULE THE BRUTAL RUSSIAN
LANDSCAPE.
10
00:00:34,434 --> 00:00:38,238
PLUS, IT'S NO DAY AT THE BEACH
FOR THESE CRABS, AS THEY MIGRATE
11
00:00:38,271 --> 00:00:39,572
FOR MILES.
12
00:00:39,606 --> 00:00:43,076
AND LATER, WE'LL HEAD TO ARABIA,
WHERE THESE GREEN SEA TURTLES
13
00:00:43,109 --> 00:00:45,412
PUT THE SHELL IN SHELTER.
14
00:00:45,445 --> 00:00:49,516
BUT FIRST, WHETHER IT'S SCALES
OR SKIN, THESE GIANTS OF EAST
15
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:53,486
ASIA HAVE THE NATURAL BODY ARMOR
TO MAKE IT THROUGH THICK AND
16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,621
THIN.
17
00:00:54,654 --> 00:00:58,658

00:01:18,745 --> 00:01:21,214
DYLAN: LIVING IN HARSH CLIMATES
IS A DIFFICULT TASK FOR ANY
20
00:01:21,247 --> 00:01:22,349
ANIMAL.
21
00:01:22,382 --> 00:01:24,584
BUT WHEN YOU ADD IN THE
RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF PREDATORS,
22
00:01:24,617 --> 00:01:27,087
SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON
ADAPTABILITY.
23
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,323
IN THE WILD, ANIMALS DEVELOP
BEHAVIORAL AND EVEN PHYSICAL
24
00:01:30,357 --> 00:01:33,226
ATTRIBUTES THAT ACT AS THEIR
LAST LINE OF DEFENSE.
25
00:01:33,259 --> 00:01:36,262
EVEN SOME OF THE MOST FIERCE
CREATURES ON EARTH NEED THICK
26
00:01:36,296 --> 00:01:40,433
SKIN BECAUSE IT CAN BE WHAT
ULTIMATELY TIPS THE SCALES IN
27
00:01:40,467 --> 00:01:41,468
THEIR FAVOR.
28
00:01:41,501 --> 00:01:43,703
TAKE A LOOK.
29
00:01:43,737 --> 00:01:46,873
WELCOME TO SOUTH ASIA, WHERE
DANGEROUS PREDATORS ARE NEVER
30
00:01:46,906 --> 00:01:48,641
TOO FAR.
31
00:01:48,675 --> 00:01:51,311
LIKE THIS ONE LURKING IN THE
SHALLOW END.
32
00:01:51,344 --> 00:01:55,949
REACHING MORE THAN 13 FEET LONG,
MARSH CROCODILES ARE POWERFUL
33
00:01:55,982 --> 00:01:57,984
PREDATORS.
34
00:02:01,621 --> 00:02:05,558
THIS CROC BASKS IN THE SUN TO
KEEP WARM.
35
00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:11,498
BUT SUBMERGES ITSELF WHEN IT'S
READY TO HUNT.

[MUSIC]
37
00:02:26,513 --> 00:02:29,582
DYLAN: PERFECTLY DISGUISED AS A
PIECE OF WOOD, THIS SHALLOW
38
00:02:29,616 --> 00:02:33,586
WATERHOLE MAKES AN IDEAL HUNTING
GROUND.
39
00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:40,427
HE'LL USUALLY SURVIVE ON FISH
AND SMALLER ANIMALS, BUT THIS
40
00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:44,464
DEER COULD SUSTAIN HIM FOR
MONTHS.
41
00:02:46,099 --> 00:02:50,103
IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY HE ISN'T
GOING TO IGNORE.
42
00:02:57,344 --> 00:03:01,047
THE SAMBAR DEER LIVES TO SEE
ANOTHER DAY.
43
00:03:01,081 --> 00:03:05,085
AND THE HUGE CROCODILE SLOWLY
RETURNS TO HIS HIDING PLACE.
44
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:11,091
BUT NOT ALL OF INDIA'S MOST
EXTRAORDINARY HABITATS ARE
45
00:03:11,124 --> 00:03:13,393
FAMOUS FOR BIG PREDATORS.
46
00:03:13,426 --> 00:03:17,430
IN THE FAR EAST OF INDIA LIES A
BOUNTIFUL LAND OF GENTLE GIANTS.
47
00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:23,336
THE GRASSLANDS OF ASSAM ARE ONE
OF THE MOST FERTILE HABITATS ON
48
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:25,572
EARTH.
49
00:03:25,605 --> 00:03:29,109
AMONGST THESE ECOSYSTEMS, SOME
OF THE WORLD'S TALLEST GRASSES
50
00:03:29,142 --> 00:03:31,144
FLOURISH.
51
00:03:36,416 --> 00:03:39,419
AND THESE GIANT PLANTS SUPPORT
ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST
52
00:03:39,452 --> 00:03:41,454
MAMMALS.
53
00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:47,927
THE INDIAN RHINOCEROS.
54
00:03:47,961 --> 00:03:52,465
STANDING MORE THAN SIX FEET TALL
AND WEIGHING MORE THAN TWO TONS,
55
00:03:52,499 --> 00:03:56,102
RHINOS SPEND A LOT OF TIME
MAINTAINING THEIR WEIGHT.
56
00:03:56,102 --> 00:04:00,073
BUT THIS MOTHER AND HER CALF ARE
RARELY LEFT TO DINE IN PEACE.
57
00:04:00,106 --> 00:04:03,476
DRONGO BIRDS CATCH A RIDE.
58
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:08,448
SCOUTING FOR ANY FLIES OR TICKS
OFTEN FOUND ON THE RHINO'S SKIN.
59
00:04:08,481 --> 00:04:12,485
AND NIMBLE CATTLE EGRETS FEED ON
OTHER INSECTS DISTURBED BY THE
60
00:04:12,519 --> 00:04:15,522
LARGE HERBIVORES AS THEY GRAZE
THROUGH THE GRASS.
61
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,731
THE MOTHER AND HER CALF TOLERATE
THESE BIRDS, BUT THE TWO RHINOS
62
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:27,767
MUST SOON GO THEIR SEPARATE
WAYS.
63
00:04:31,438 --> 00:04:34,507
THE CALF WILL SOON NEED TO LEAVE
ITS MOTHER'S SIDE AND ESTABLISH
64
00:04:34,541 --> 00:04:37,877
A HOME OF ITS OWN.
65
00:04:37,911 --> 00:04:41,214
BUT IN THESE LAST DAYS AS A
FAMILY, THERE IS STILL TIME TO
66
00:04:41,247 --> 00:04:45,251
ENJOY THE PLEASURES OF THIS WILD
PARADISE TOGETHER.
67
00:04:47,721 --> 00:04:51,758
COMING UP, WE'LL DIG IN AND SEE
WHY THESE TURTLES ARE WORKING

00:04:51,791 --> 00:04:52,959
THE NIGHTSHIFT.
69
00:04:52,992 --> 00:04:57,464
PLUS, WHY ARE THESE LIZARDS
MAKING THEIR PREY SO CRABBY?
70
00:04:57,497 --> 00:05:02,235
AND LATER, IN THE HARSH COLD OF
SIBERIA, THIS BABY MUSK OX IS
71
00:05:02,268 --> 00:05:03,837
DRESSED FOR SUCCESS.

LARGEST PENINSULA.

BETWEEN THE DESERTS AND BEACHES,
ARABIA'S LANDSCAPE SEEMS VERY
77
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:43,243
SIMILAR, BUT IT'S WHAT'S LIVING
UNDER THE SURFACE THAT GIVES
78
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:45,278
ARABIA A SENSE OF WONDER.
79
00:05:56,923 --> 00:06:00,126
GREEN TURTLES USE THE COVER OF
ARABIA'S NIGHT TO DIG THEIR

00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,162
NESTS.
81
00:06:02,195 --> 00:06:06,099
THE DEPTH AND POSITION IS
CRITICAL.
82
00:06:06,132 --> 00:06:09,135
IT NEEDS TO BE DEEP ENOUGH TO
PROTECT THE HELPLESS EGGS, BUT
83
00:06:09,169 --> 00:06:12,172
IT ALSO DETERMINES THE GENDER OF
THE BABIES INSIDE.
84
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:18,411
CLOSER TO THE SEA AND INCUBATION
WILL BE COOLER, PRODUCING MORE

00:06:21,114 --> 00:06:23,583

WILL BE WARMER AND THEY WILL

00:13:13,893 --> 00:13:17,897
TIDES BROUGHT BY THE FULL MOON
TO RELEASE THIS NEXT GENERATION.
168
00:13:24,738 --> 00:13:27,907
TO SPREAD THEIR OFFSPRING AS FAR
AS POSSIBLE, THESE LAND CRABS
169
00:13:27,941 --> 00:13:29,943
MUST RISK THEIR LIVES.
170
00:13:34,114 --> 00:13:37,117
VENTURING INTO THE SURF AS FAR
AS THEY DARE.
171
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:43,123
BEFORE SHAKING THE LARVA INTO
THE BACKWASH OF THE BIGGEST
172
00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:46,126
WAVES THEY CAN WITHSTAND.
173
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,528
THE OFFSPRING ARE THEN SUCKED
OUT TO SEA, WHERE THEY WILL
174
00:13:48,561 --> 00:13:52,332
EMERGE FROM THESE WARM,
NUTRIENT-RICH WATERS TO LIVE OUT
175
00:13:52,365 --> 00:13:56,369
THEIR LIFE AMONG THE TREES ON
THIS OR ANOTHER TROPICAL ISLAND.
176
00:14:00,473 --> 00:14:04,044
COMING UP, WE'LL SEE HOW ONE OF
THE TOUGHEST ANIMALS IN RUSSIA
177
00:14:04,044 --> 00:14:07,047
WAS MADE FOR THIS BRUTAL
CLIMATE.
178
00:14:11,785 --> 00:14:13,787
NARRATOR: WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK TO
THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.
179
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,762
[MUSIC]
180
00:14:35,075 --> 00:14:39,479
DYLAN: TO RUSSIA, WHERE WINTER
IS HERE.
181
00:14:39,512 --> 00:14:43,083
COLONIES OF ATLANTIC WALRUS HAVE
SPENT THE LAST FEW MONTHS HAULED
182
00:14:43,116 --> 00:14:47,087
OUT ON RUSSIA'S MOST NORTHERLY
ISLANDS TO REAR THEIR YOUNG.
183
00:14:53,460 --> 00:14:57,230
THEY SPEND A THIRD OF THEIR
ENTIRE LIVES HUDDLED IN BLUBBER
184
00:14:57,263 --> 00:15:01,301
BALLS, LIKE THESE, FOR WARMTH.
185
00:15:01,334 --> 00:15:04,104
THE REST OF THEIR TIME, THE
WALRUS SPEND IN THE WATER
186
00:15:04,137 --> 00:15:06,139
HUNTING FOR CLAMS.
187
00:15:10,377 --> 00:15:14,047
BUT WHEN YOU WEIGH UP TO ONE AND
A HALF TONS, GETTING THERE TAKES
188
00:15:14,047 --> 00:15:16,750
A BIT OF IMPROVISATION.
189
00:15:16,783 --> 00:15:18,785
[MUSIC]
190
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:36,936
DYLAN: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
191
00:15:39,205 --> 00:15:43,610
THE WALRUS COLONY IS GOVERNED BY
THE LARGEST MALE.
192
00:15:43,643 --> 00:15:48,548
HE SPORTS THE BIGGEST TUSKS AND
HIS POWERFUL ROAR CAN BE HEARD
193
00:15:48,581 --> 00:15:50,583
FOR ALMOST A MILE.
194
00:15:57,157 --> 00:16:01,928
ALLOWING HIM TO COMMAND THE BEST
POSITIONS, UNCHALLENGED.
195
00:16:02,028 --> 00:16:04,431
BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP THE LOWER
RANKING WALRUS CONSTANTLY
196
00:16:04,464 --> 00:16:07,467
CALLING EACH OTHER INTO BATTLE.
197
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,243
THESE TWO ARE ONLY PLAYFIGHTING.
198
00:16:17,277 --> 00:16:20,547
BUT WITH MORE THAN A TON BEHIND
EACH IMPACT, THEIR TUSKS COULD
199
00:16:20,580 --> 00:16:24,584
INFLICT A DEADLY INJURY TO
ALMOST ANY OTHER ANIMAL.
200
00:16:28,054 --> 00:16:31,591
BUT THANKS TO TEN INCHES OF
BLUBBER, THESE IMPACTS DON'T
201
00:16:31,624 --> 00:16:33,626
DRAW ANY BLOOD.
202
00:16:38,498 --> 00:16:41,901
WITHIN JUST A FEW SHORT WEEKS,
WINTER SWEEPS DOWN ACROSS
203
00:16:41,935 --> 00:16:44,471
RUSSIA.
204
00:16:44,504 --> 00:16:47,440
CONDITIONS CHANGE RAPIDLY.
205
00:16:47,474 --> 00:16:50,877
NOWHERE MORESO THAN IN ONE OF
ITS COLDEST AND MOST ISOLATED
206
00:16:50,910 --> 00:16:55,615
HABITATS, THE YAMAL PENINSULA.
207
00:16:55,648 --> 00:16:59,619
A PAIR OF MUSK OX, MAKING THEIR
WAY ACROSS THE YAMAL'S EXPOSED
208
00:16:59,652 --> 00:17:01,021
TERRAIN.
209
00:17:01,021 --> 00:17:04,024
BUT A CLOSER LOOK ALSO REVEALS A
CALF.
210
00:17:06,926 --> 00:17:10,597
IN THIS UNFORGIVING TERRAIN,
MUSK OX CALVES ARE EXTREMELY
211
00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:11,931
TOUGH.
212
00:17:12,032 --> 00:17:14,868
CAPABLE OF KEEPING UP WITH THE
ADULTS JUST A FEW HOURS AFTER
213
00:17:14,901 --> 00:17:19,372
BEING BORN.
214
00:17:19,406 --> 00:17:22,942
THIS MUSK OXEN FAMILY SPENT THE
SUMMER GRAZING ALONE, BUT THE
215
00:17:23,043 --> 00:17:26,946
ADULTS ARE NOW LEADING THEIR
CALF TOWARD A BIGGER HERD.
216
00:17:27,047 --> 00:17:30,383
AND IT TURNS OUT, THEY AREN'T
THE ONLY ONES WITH A NEW ARRIVAL
217
00:17:30,417 --> 00:17:32,686
THIS YEAR.
218
00:17:32,719 --> 00:17:36,523
GATHERING IN GROUPS OF UP TO 60
FOR THE WINTER, MUSK OX WORK
219
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:39,893
TOGETHER TO DEFEND THE HERD'S
YOUNG FROM WOLVES AND EVEN POLAR
220
00:17:39,926 --> 00:17:41,828
BEARS.
221
00:17:41,861 --> 00:17:45,799
BUT IT'S THE WEATHER HERE THAT
IS OFTEN THE BIGGEST THREAT.
222
00:17:46,933 --> 00:17:50,203
WHEN THE SUN SETS IN LATE
NOVEMBER, THE MUSK OX WON'T SEE
223
00:17:50,236 --> 00:17:54,274
IT AGAIN FOR TWO MONTHS.
224
00:17:54,307 --> 00:17:57,210
YAMAL'S TEMPERATURES WILL
GRADUALLY BEGIN TO DROP TO AN
225
00:17:57,243 --> 00:18:00,246
AVERAGE OF MINUS FOUR DEGREES.
226
00:18:02,315 --> 00:18:05,018
BUT WITH NO TREES OUT HERE ON
THE TUNDRA, THE WIND CAN MAKE IT
227
00:18:05,018 --> 00:18:08,355
FEEL LIKE MINUS 50.
228
00:18:08,388 --> 00:18:13,259
LUCKILY, THIS MUSK OX THICK COAT
HAS TWO SEPARATE LAYERS OF FUR,
229
00:18:13,293 --> 00:18:17,297
ENABLING IT TO WITHSTAND THIS
REGION'S HARSH CLIMATE.
230
00:18:19,566 --> 00:18:22,335
BENEATH THE SNOW, THERE IS
PLENTY OF VEGETATION TO GO
231
00:18:22,369 --> 00:18:23,603
AROUND.
232
00:18:23,636 --> 00:18:27,440
BUT EVEN WITH ALMOST 50,000
SQUARE MILES TO CHOOSE FROM, IT
233
00:18:27,474 --> 00:18:30,043
SEEMS THE GRASS IS ALWAYS
GREENER.
234
00:18:30,043 --> 00:18:34,047
AND SCUFFLES OVER GRAZING RIGHTS
ARE COMMON.
235
00:18:38,685 --> 00:18:42,822
BUILT FOR BATTLE, EACH MUSK OX'S
SKULL IS MORE THAN SEVEN INCHES
236
00:18:42,856 --> 00:18:44,791
THICK.
237
00:18:44,824 --> 00:18:48,094
IN MATING SEASON, THESE CLASHES
ESCALATE INTO SOME OF NATURE'S
238
00:18:48,128 --> 00:18:53,066
MOST EPIC DUELS.
239
00:18:53,099 --> 00:18:57,370
BUT AMAZINGLY, THESE SEEMINGLY
VIOLENT IMPACTS HAVE ALMOST NO
240
00:18:57,404 --> 00:18:59,372
EFFECT.
241
00:18:59,406 --> 00:19:02,542
AND DESPITE THESE CONSTANT
SQUABBLES, CHOOSING TO LIVE AS A
242
00:19:02,575 --> 00:19:06,012
HERD THROUGH THE RUSSIAN WINTER,
THE MUSK OXEN STAND A BETTER
243
00:19:06,046 --> 00:19:09,015
CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.
244
00:19:09,015 --> 00:19:12,485
THANKS FOR JOINING US TODAY AS
WE TOOK A CLOSER LOOK AT THE
245
00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:16,923
AMAZING ANIMALS SPORTING THE
HARDEST EXTERIORS ON EARTH.
246
00:19:17,023 --> 00:19:20,026
THROUGH THICK AND THIN, THESE
CREATURES RELY ON THEIR TOUGH
247
00:19:20,026 --> 00:19:24,030
BUILDS TO WEATHER ANY STORM AND
THRIVE IN THE WILD.
248
00:19:24,030 --> 00:19:28,068
JOIN US NEXT TIME FOR ANOTHER
ADVENTURE ON "EARTH ODYSSEY".
