NARRATOR: WHEN YOU SEE THIS
SYMBOL, YOU KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING

TELEVISION THAT IS EDUCATIONAL
AND INFORMATIONAL.

THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

DYLAN: HI EVERYBODY, I'M DYLAN
DREYER AND THIS IS

"EARTH ODYSSEY".

TODAY, PACK YOUR TRUNK BECAUSE
WE ARE GOING ON A MONUMENTAL

MAMMAL MISSION.

WATCH AS THIS PRECIOUS PACHYDERM
LEARNS THE WAYS OF THE FOREST.

PLUS, WE'LL HEAD TO INDIA TO TRY
TO FIND ONE OF THE RAREST

MONKEYS IN THE WORLD.

AND LATER, IT'LL TAKE MORE THAN
BEING SLY FOR THIS FOX TO CATCH

ITS NEXT MEAL.

BUT FIRST, THESE MAMMALS'
MOTHERS HAVE MASTERED LIVING IN

THE ARID ARABIAN DESERT.

ALL OF THIS AND MORE COMING UP
TODAY ON "EARTH ODYSSEY".

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: IT'S ESTIMATED THERE ARE
MORE THAN 130 BILLION MAMMALS ON

EARTH.

SOME FLY, SOME SWIM, SOME EVEN
HAVE BILLS AND LAY EGGS.

BUT ALL OF THEM SHARE A FEW
IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS; HAIR,

MILK AND WARM BLOOD.

EVEN IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS
WHERE SOME HUNT AND OTHERS ARE

HUNTED, EARTH'S MAMMALS HAVE
LEARNED TO ADAPT TO THE WILD,

STAYING OUT OF HARM'S WAY EVEN
IN THE HAIRIEST OF SITUATIONS.

WELCOME TO ARABIA WHERE
FOLKLORES TALKED OF UNICORNS

ROAMING DESERTS.

THE ARABIAN ORYX NEARLY BECAME
AS MYTHICAL AS THESE BEASTS.

ONCE HUNTED TO EXTINCTION IN
OMAN, 1982 SAW THEM REINTRODUCED

TO THE WILD.

TAGGING AND MONITORING HAS
HELPED NUMBERS RISE.

BUT SURVIVING THE JEDDAH IS
STILL TOUGH.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: TEMPERATURES CAN REACH
MORE THAN 120 DEGREES

FAHRENHEIT.

AND SOME YEARS THERE CAN BE NO
RAIN.

NATIVE TO THESE DESERTS, THEIR
WHITE COATS REFLECT THE

PUNISHING HEAT.

WHILE DARK MARKINGS UNDER THEIR
EYES REDUCE THE SUN'S GLARE.

BUT TO FIND WATER, THEY HAVE TO
SMELL IT ON THE WIND.

TRAVELING HUGE DISTANCES, THEY
CAN GO LONGER THAN CAMELS

WITHOUT DRINKING.

HOWEVER, SOME FEMALES ARE
CARRYING YOUNG.

FINDING NUTRIENTS TO SUPPORT ONE
IS HARD ENOUGH, LET ALONE TWO.

ARABIAN ORYX KEEP MOVING, BUT
THE PREGNANT FEMALE IS NO LONGER

WITH THEM.

HAVING CARRIED HER OFFSPRING FOR
8 HOT MONTHS, SHE HAS LEFT THE

HERD.

HOWEVER, THERE IS A GOOD REASON
FOR THIS.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE CALF IS MINUTES OLD
AND WILL RELY ON HER FOR

EVERYTHING.

LICKING HER NEWBORN HELPS
BONDING AND GIVES ENCOURAGEMENT.

EXPOSED IN THE DESERT, SHE MUST
GET HIM UP AND FEEDING IF HE IS

TO STAND ANY CHANCE.

BUT IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

ORYX CALVES FACE SOME OF THEIR
GREATEST TESTS IN THESE FIRST

DAYS OF LIFE.

HE GAINS MUCH NEEDED STRENGTH
FROM HIS MOTHER'S MILK.

THIS WILL BE HIS MAIN SOURCE OF
NUTRITION FOR THE NEXT 4-1/2

MONTHS AS THEY AND THE HERD
CONTINUE THEIR JOURNEY.

THEIR FUTURE IS BY NO MEANS
SECURE.

BUT ONCE A LEGEND LIKE THE
UNICORN, THE ARABIAN ORYX HAS A

FIGHTING CHANCE IN OMAN'S
DESERTS.

COMING UP, WE HEAD TO RUSSIA TO
SEE THIS MASSIVE MAMMAL ON THE

HUNT.

AND LATER, THIS MONKEY IS AS
RARE AS IT IS RESOURCEFUL.

PLUS, MASSIVE MATRIARCHS THAT
ARE LARGE AND IN CHARGE.

COMING UP ON "EARTH ODYSSEY."

.

NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO THE
MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: WELCOME TO RUSSIA WHERE
SOME OF THE MOST FEARED

PREDATORS CALL HOME.

SO, FOR ANIMALS LIKE THE ARCTIC
FOX, THEY MUST ADAPT TO SURVIVE.

USUALLY BRIGHT WHITE, THIS
ARCTIC FOX'S FUR CHANGES WITH

THE SEASONS.

HE WAS ONLY BORN IN SPRING, BUT
HE HAS ALREADY BEEN KICKED OUT

OF THE DEN AND MUST NOW HUNT
FOR HIMSELF.

HIGH UP ON THESE CLIFFS, A HUGE
COLONY OF GUILLEMOTS ARE

NESTING.

AND TO A HUNGRY FOX, THE
CHALLENGE IS IRRESISTIBLE.

BUT THE ADULT GUILLEMOTS ARE
WILLING TO DEFEND THEIR NESTS.

NOT GIVING UP, THE WILEY FOX
TRIES TO CLIMB AROUND TO THE

NEST FROM THE OTHER SIDE.

BUT ONCE AGAIN, THE BIRDS'
DEFENSIVE SQUAWKS AND POWERFUL

BEAKS PUSH HIM BACK.

FURTHER UP THE CLIFF, HOWEVER,
THE FOX FINDS AN ABANDONED NEST.

IN SUMMER, THERE IS ALWAYS
SOMETHING FOR THE FOXES TO

SCAVENGE HERE ON THE ARCTIC
COAST.

BUT ANOTHER OF RUSSIA'S HABITATS
PROVIDES A SUMMER FEAST ON AN

ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SCALE.

KAMCHATKA'S LAKE KURIL, AN
IMMENSE, ISOLATED WILDERNESS

THAT HAS 29 ACTIVE VOLCANOES.

AND THE HIGHEST DENSITY OF BROWN
BEARS ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET.

THIS IS SUMMER AND HUNDREDS OF
BEARS HAVE GATHERED NEAR THE

SHORELINE TO RAISE THEIR CUBS.

THIS FEMALE'S THREE CUBS WERE
BORN IN THE DEN LAST WINTER,

WEIGHING UNDER A POUND.

BUT THANKS TO HER MILK, THEY ARE
GROWING RAPIDLY.

SO, TODAY SHE ONLY ALLOWS THE
HUNGRY CUBS A LITTLE BIT OF

MILK.

IF THEY ARE TO GROW STRONG
ENOUGH TO SURVIVE THEIR FIRST

WINTER, SHE MUST START TO WEAN
THEM ONTO THE SALMON THAT WILL

SOON BE ARRIVING HERE IN THE
MILLIONS FOR THEIR ANNUAL

SPAWNING.

THESE WATERS WILL SOON BE
CHOKING WITH MILLIONS OF SOCKEYE

SALMON ON A MISSION TO DEPOSIT
THEIR EGGS UPSTREAM IN THE

LAKE'S TRIBUTARIES.

THE ARRIVAL OF THE SALMON MARKS
THE BEGINNING OF ONE OF NATURE'S

GREATEST FEASTS.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: THE MOTHER CATCHES A
FISH FOR EACH OF HER CUBS.

BUT WHILE HUNGRY BEARS CAN
CONSUME 40 WHOLE SALMON A DAY,

IT'S FEARED OVER-FISHING AND
WARMING SEA TEMPERATURES COULD

POSE A MUCH GREATER THREAT TO
SALMON NUMBERS.

IT'S THE BOUNTY OF SALMON THAT
ATTRACTS SO MANY BEARS HERE,

ALLOWING THEM TO RAISE THEIR
CUBS ON THE BEAUTIFUL BANKS OF

LAKE KURIL.

AFTER THE BREAK, MORE MAMMALS.

WE'LL DISCOVER WHAT'S HIDING IN
THE MOUNTAINS OF INDIA.

PLUS, WHAT'S ON THE MIND OF
THESE HUNGRY ASIAN ELEPHANTS?

WE'LL FIND OUT WHEN "EARTH
ODYSSEY" RETURNS.

.

NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO THE
MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: EACH JOURNEY ON EARTH
ODYSSEY TAKES US TO REGIONS OF

THE WORLD THAT ARE HOME TO SOME
OF THE MOST UNIQUE ANIMALS ON

THE PLANET.

AND THE WESTERN GHATS MOUNTAIN
RANGE IN INDIA IS NO EXCEPTION.

BECAUSE THERE'S ONE PRIMATE
HANGING IN ITS TREES THAT YOU'LL

FIND NOWHERE ELSE.

AND WHILE IT MAY NOT BE KING OF
THE JUNGLE, THE LION-TAILED

MACAQUE IS CERTAINLY A RING
LEADER.

TAKE A LOOK.

THE WESTERN GHATS IN INDIA ARE A
VAST, ANCIENT MOUNTAIN RANGE.

THESE FORESTED SLOPES ARE A TRUE
WONDER IN THE NATURAL WORLD.

COVERING JUST 6 PERCENT OF
INDIA'S TOTAL LAND MASS, THESE

MOUNTAINS ARE HOME TO A THIRD OF
ALL THE COUNTRY'S PLANT AND

WILDLIFE SPECIES.

MAKING IT ONE OF THE MOST
BIODIVERSE PLACES ON EARTH.

AND THE PERFECT HABITAT FOR ONE
OF INDIA'S MOST ENDANGERED

CREATURES.

FOUND NOWHERE ELSE, THESE
LION-TAILED MACAQUES ARE SOME OF

THE RAREST MONKEYS IN THE WORLD.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: EVEN WITH SUCH A SMALL
POPULATION, MACAQUES MUST EARN

THEIR PLACE ON THE SOCIAL
LADDER.

GROOMING HELPS STRENGTHEN BONDS
AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AMONGST

THE WHOLE TROOP.

BUT IT'S THE GROUPS LEADERS THAT
GET THE MOST ATTENTION.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO
ESTABLISHING RANK AMONGST THE

YOUNGSTERS, THE BOYS FREQUENTLY
ENGAGE IN COMPETITIONS TO SHOW

OFF THEIR STRENGTH.

EACH ATTEMPTING TO HOLD ONTO THE
BRANCH FOR AS LONG AS THEY CAN.

AS THE SON OF THE DOMINANT
FEMALE, THIS LITTLE PRINCE COULD

ONE DAY BECOME THE TROOP LEADER.

BUT IF HE WANTS TO PROVE HIMSELF
TO THE BIGGER BOYS, HE'LL HAVE

TO MAKE IT OVER TO THE OTHER
TREE.

BUT FIRST, HE'LL NEED TO SNEAK
AWAY FROM HIS PROTECTIVE MOTHER.

HAVING FINALLY ESCAPED THE
QUEEN'S WATCHFUL EYE, THIS TINY

MONKEY GETS THE CHANCE TO CLIMB
UP AND JOIN THE FUN.

FOR THE YOUNG MACAQUE, THIS
COULD BE HIS OPPORTUNITY TO

DEMONSTRATE HIS STRENGTH AND
CLIMBING SKILLS TO THE BIGGER

MONKEYS.

BUT IT SEEMS THIS GROUP ISN'T
READY FOR ANY NEW MEMBERS.

AND THEY SEND HIM BACK DOWN WITH
HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS.

FOR LION-TAILED MACAQUES,
CLIMBING SKILLS AREN'T JUST FOR

SHOW.

THEY'RE ALSO VITAL FOR SURVIVAL.

FALLING FROM THE TREETOPS COULD
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

BUT WITH PREDATORS LURKING
BELOW, LANDING ON THE FOREST

FLOOR COULD BE MUCH MORE
DANGEROUS.

UNDERNEATH THE MACAQUE TROOP
LIVES ONE OF INDIA'S MOST ICONIC

CREATURES.

REACHING UP TO 20 FEET IN
LENGTH, IT IS THE WORLD'S

LONGEST VENOMOUS SNAKE.

THE KING COBRA.

THIS YOUNG MALE IS A DEADLY
KILLING MACHINE.

A SINGLE BITE FROM THIS SNAKE
COULD TAKE CARE OF A MACAQUE IN

JUST A FEW MINUTES.

IT IS SO POWERFUL IT COULD EVEN
TAKE DOWN AN ELEPHANT.

HE'LL HUNT A RANGE OF SPECIES
INCLUDING OTHER SNAKES.

AND IMMUNE TO EACH OTHER'S
VENOM, KING COBRAS CAN ALSO TURN

AGAINST THEIR OWN KIND.

AND HE'S JUST SLITHERED INTO THE
TERRITORY OF AN EVEN BIGGER

MALE.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: IT'S NOW A STANDOFF.

FILLING HIS LUNGS WITH AIR, THE
BIGGER SNAKE FORCES OUT ITS

STRANGE GUTTURAL HISS TO
INTIMIDATE THE YOUNGER

TRESPASSER.

DECIDING IT'S BETTER TO BACK
OFF, THE SMALLER SNAKE RETREATS

FROM THE CONFRONTATION

AND DISAPPEARS INTO THE TREES.

UP IN THE CANOPY, THE
LION-TAILED MACAQUES RELAX ONCE

MORE.

INDIA'S FORESTS ARE HOME TO
MILLIONS OF PRIMATES.

BUT THESE ENDANGERED MACAQUES
MAY BE FOUND ONLY HERE IN THE

WESTERN GHATS.

COMING UP, THE LARGEST LAND
MAMMAL MOMMAS.

.

NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO THE
MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: WELCOME TO AN ANCIENT,
MAGICAL LAND.

A TRUE PARADISE OF UNRIVALED
BEAUTY HERE IN SOME OF THE

PLANET'S MOST SPECTACULAR
HABITATS.

ICONIC SPECIES CARVE OUT A WILD
EXISTENCE.

FROM GENTLE GIANTS

TO FIERCE PREDATORS,

THIS IS A LAND LIKE NO OTHER.

BUT THESE ANIMALS ARE FACING NEW
CHALLENGES.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS ALTERING
THEIR HOME,

FORCING WILDLIFE TO STRIVE
HARDER THAN EVER

FOR THEIR VERY SURVIVAL

IN THE WILD EDENS OF SOUTH ASIA.

HERE AT THE GRASSLANDS OF ASSAM
LIVES ONE OF THE LARGEST MAMMALS

TO WALK THE EARTH,

THE ASIAN ELEPHANT.

THIS FEMALE IS THE MATRIARCH.

LEADING THE HERD IS NO EASY
TASK.

IT'S A BIG FAMILY.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: AND IT'S HER JOB TO
GUIDE THEM ALL TO THE BEST

FEEDING SPOTS.

LUCKILY, THERE'S PLENTY OF FOOD
HERE IN THE FORESTS OF ASSAM,

WHICH IS A GOOD THING;

ELEPHANTS EAT A LOT.

A FULLY-GROWN ADULT CAN CONSUME
MORE THAN 300 POUNDS OF FOOD IN

A SINGLE DAY.

IT'S IMPORTANT THE MATRIARCH
GETS PLENTY TO EAT.

SHE NEEDS ALL THE NUTRITION SHE
CAN GET.

BECAUSE SHE'S NOT ONLY THE BOSS,
SHE'S ALSO A MOTHER.

HER CALF IS JUST A FEW MONTHS
OLD.

AND FOR NOW, HE'S COMPLETELY
RELIANT ON HIS MOTHER.

AT THIS AGE, HE'LL NEVER BE FAR
FROM HER SIDE.

HE'S CONSTANTLY LEARNING NEW
LESSONS FROM HIS FAMILY.

TODAY, HE'S TRYING TO GET TO
GRIPS WITH HIS TRUNK.

THE ADULTS CAN USE THIS UNIQUE
APPENDAGE TO PLUCK EVEN THE

SHORTEST BLADES OF GRASS.

BUT WITH 40,000 MUSCLES IN
EACH ELEPHANT'S TRUNK,

IT TAKES A LOT OF PRACTICE.

SOME OF THE FAMILY ARE TRUE
MASTERS.

BUT THIS YOUNGSTER STILL NEEDS A
LOT MORE PRACTICE.

THE ELEPHANTS' IMMENSE SIZE AND
EXTRAORDINARY APPETITE HELP

SHAPE THIS WILD EDEN.

BUT CLIMATE CHANGE AND HUMAN
EXPANSION ARE ALSO ALTERING THIS

HABITAT.

MEANING THE SURVIVAL OF THESE
ICONIC ANIMALS IS BECOMING

INCREASINGLY IN JEOPARDY.

THESE GENTLE GIANTS COULD SOON
CEASE TO EXIST ALTOGETHER.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AS WE
TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD IN

SEARCH OF SOME OF THE MOST
UNIQUE MAMMALS IN THE ANIMAL

KINGDOM.

WHETHER IN THE MOUNTAINS OF
INDIA OR JUNGLES OF BORNEO,

THESE FURRY FRIENDS ARE A
REMINDER THAT THERE'S ALWAYS

SOMETHING SPECIAL WAITING FOR US
TO DISCOVER IN THE WILD.

WE'LL SEE YOU FOR THE NEXT
ADVENTURE ON "EARTH ODYSSEY".
