00:00:17,917 --> 00:00:21,621
EMBARK ON A JOURNEY INTO THE
WILD ANIMAL KINGDOM HERE ON

TODAY, WE'RE HEADED TO A LAND
OF FOUR-LEGGED WONDERS, AFRICA,

00:00:28,061 --> 00:00:32,132
TO SEE SOME OF THE WILD'S
MOST MAGNIFICENT MAMMALS.
10
00:00:32,565 --> 00:00:35,268
LIKE THESE MASTERS OF
THE MONOCHROME,
11
00:00:35,735 --> 00:00:40,240
AND A TUSKED TODDLER LOOKING TO
COOL OFF IN A SAVANNAH RIVER.
12
00:00:41,307 --> 00:00:45,011
LATER, ALL IT TAKES IS A BED IN
THE BRANCHES FOR THIS BIG CAT
13
00:00:45,111 --> 00:00:47,113
TO KICK BACK AND RELAX.
14
00:00:47,514 --> 00:00:50,483

INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ACTION

00:00:50,583 --> 00:00:54,120

YOUNG BUCKS ALL RILED UP.

ANIMAL, THERE ARE TRADITIONS
20
00:01:23,983 --> 00:01:25,819
AND RITUALS THAT DEFINE THEM.
21
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:29,556
WHILE THEY MAY LOOK STRANGE OR
SEEM INCONSEQUENTIAL, THESE ODD
22
00:01:29,656 --> 00:01:33,259
BEHAVIORS PLAY AN INTEGRAL PART
IN ESTABLISHING HIERARCHY,
23
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,930
CHOOSING A PARTNER, OR EVEN
REMINDING A RIVAL WHO'S BOSS.
24
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:41,101
IN THE WILD, AGE-OLD TRADITIONS
LIKE A CEREMONIAL BATTLE CAN
25
00:01:41,134 --> 00:01:44,237
SHAPE AN ANIMAL'S ENTIRE FUTURE.

SILENT, CODIFIED, LOOKING ALMOST
28
00:01:54,681 --> 00:01:58,752
PEACEFUL, BUT IT CAN TURN
OUT TO BE VERY DANGEROUS.
29
00:01:58,852 --> 00:02:02,355
NEITHER ANIMAL WANTS TO BACK
DOWN IN THIS TRIAL OF STRENGTH.
30
00:02:02,455 --> 00:02:05,925
THERE IS EXTREME THRUST
AT THE POINT OF THE HORN.
31
00:02:06,059 --> 00:02:11,131
IT PRESSES INTO THE SKIN ONLY
A FEW INCHES FROM THE EYE.
32
00:02:11,598 --> 00:02:14,567
CONFLICT IS INHERENT TO THE
LIFE OF ALL GROUPS, BUT
33
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:18,605
IN MOST ANIMAL SOCIETIES,
FIGHTING IS RITUALIZED.
34
00:02:19,939 --> 00:02:22,609
IN OTHER WORDS, THE
ACTUAL DANGER IS LIMITED.
35
00:02:22,709 --> 00:02:27,113
IT'S MORE FOR SHOW, BUT STILL A
CRUCIAL ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES.
36
00:02:28,615 --> 00:02:31,418
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG,
YOU LOSE A HORN.
37
00:02:31,985 --> 00:02:32,919
IT'S PAINLESS.
38
00:02:33,086 --> 00:02:35,622
IT HAS NO EFFECT ON THE
STATE OF HEALTH, BUT IT
39
00:02:35,722 --> 00:02:38,091
ISN'T WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES.
40
00:02:39,292 --> 00:02:42,328
IT'S OFTEN THE END OF A
WHOLE PERIOD OF SOCIAL LIFE.
41
00:02:42,429 --> 00:02:44,764
THERE ISN'T A SINGLE FEMALE
IN THE SAVANNAH WHO WILL
42
00:02:44,864 --> 00:02:48,234

HALF HIS CROWNING GLORY.

00:03:00,113 --> 00:03:03,383

DYLAN: IT MIGHT BE A SIMPLE
QUESTION OF ITS COAT.
50
00:03:17,063 --> 00:03:19,699
WITH THE GREATER KUDU,
THE NORM IS TO HAVE A
51
00:03:19,799 --> 00:03:21,568
FEW STRIPES ON THE COAT.
52
00:03:21,668 --> 00:03:25,338
THIS FEMALE STANDS OUT WITH
ITS ORIGINAL SPOTTED DESIGN.

00:03:31,611 --> 00:03:34,314
ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS A WARTHOG.
54
00:03:37,384 --> 00:03:40,787
USUALLY IT HAS SOME LONG
HAIRS THAT HANG ON ITS NECK,
55
00:03:41,488 --> 00:03:45,091

STUNNING BLONDE MANE.

OTHER AFRICAN PIGS DON'T HAVE
HIS UNLIKELY PONY-LIKE BEARING.
59
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:15,055
THIS RATHER SPECIAL ANIMAL IS
ALSO THE RESULT OF A GENETIC
60
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:16,456
EXCEPTION.
61
00:04:18,591 --> 00:04:22,729
THIS SMALL BLACK GAZELLE DOES
NOT SEEM TO APPEAR ANYWHERE
62
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:26,933
IN THE LONG LIST OF MORE THAN
75 TYPES OF AFRICAN ANTELOPES.
63
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:31,071
TO TRY TO IDENTIFY THIS SPECIES,
WE CAN START WITH ITS SIZE.
64
00:04:38,078 --> 00:04:42,682
IT'S AN AVERAGE-SIZED GAZELLE,
WHICH MUST WEIGH ABOUT 65 POUNDS
65
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:46,086
AND MEASURE MORE THAN TWO AND
A HALF FEET AT THE SHOULDER.

ON ACACIA FLOWERS.

00:05:03,737 --> 00:05:06,706
A FEW FEET AWAY, ANOTHER GAZELLE
OF ROUGHLY THE SAME SIZE

IS WELL-KNOWN.
73
00:05:18,518 --> 00:05:20,120
IT'S A SPRINGBOK.
74
00:05:20,353 --> 00:05:22,889
IT ALSO HAS POINTED EARS,
BUT THE COLOR OF ITS
75
00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:26,159
COAT AND THE SHAPE OF ITS
HORNS ARE QUITE DIFFERENT.
76
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:37,704

SAME SPECIES, ADMITTEDLY
77
00:05:37,804 --> 00:05:39,806
IN AN UNUSUAL VERSION.
78
00:05:44,778 --> 00:05:48,248
THIS ONE HAS A CONDITION
CALLED MELANISM, MEANING THAT
79
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:50,083
ITS FUR HAS TURNED BLACK.
80
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:54,120
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE
OCCURRENCE AMONG THE SPECIES.
81
00:05:54,621 --> 00:05:57,857
EVEN IN THE WILD, BEING ONE OF
A KIND IS SOMETHING SPECIAL,
82
00:05:57,957 --> 00:06:01,828
AND THIS YOUNG SPRINGBOK
IS A STANDOUT EXAMPLE.

00:06:03,897 --> 00:06:07,067

FAMILY OF SAVANNAH SUPERSTARS

ACROSS THE ENTIRE GLOBE, THERE
93
00:06:50,643 --> 00:06:54,748
ARE FEW LOOKS AS MEMORABLE OR
ICONIC AS THE BLACK-AND-WHITE
94
00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:56,683
STYLE OF A ZEBRA.
95
00:06:58,785 --> 00:07:02,389
BUT WHY DO THEY SPORT
THESE UNMISSABLE STRIPES?
96
00:07:03,123 --> 00:07:06,326
THE ZEBRA'S ANCESTORS HAD
PLAIN, DARK COATS, WHICH
97
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:09,295
MAKES THEIR CURRENT STYLE
ALL THE MORE INTRIGUING.

00:07:22,375 --> 00:07:24,544
MONOCHROMATIC COAT WITH PRIDE.
101
00:07:26,746 --> 00:07:29,883
A COMMON THEORY IS THAT ZEBRAS
HAVE STRIPES AS A FORM OF
102
00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:31,151
DEFENSE.
103
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:42,595
ZEBRAS LIVE IN GROUPS AND
USUALLY STICK PRETTY CLOSE
104
00:07:42,696 --> 00:07:44,297
TO THEIR COMPATRIOTS.
105
00:07:45,665 --> 00:07:48,802
AND THAT POSES A
PROBLEM FOR PREDATORS.
106
00:07:50,737 --> 00:07:53,873
ONCE THIS LIONESS SPOTS THE
ZEBRAS, THEY APPEAR AS A
107
00:07:53,973 --> 00:07:57,077
CONFUSING AND SHIFTING MIXTURE
OF LINES.
108
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:01,548
SEEING THIS OPTICAL ILLUSION
MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT
109
00:08:01,648 --> 00:08:04,851
FOR HER TO SINGLE OUT JUST
ONE AS HER POTENTIAL PREY.
110
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:09,823
ON THE SURFACE, ALL
ZEBRAS ARE ALIKE.
111
00:08:13,693 --> 00:08:16,896
BUT LOOKING A LITTLE DEEPER,
WE CAN SEE THAT NO ZEBRA HAS
112
00:08:17,030 --> 00:08:19,299
THE SAME DESIGN AS ANY OTHER.
113
00:08:24,637 --> 00:08:27,340
THIS SUGGESTS ANOTHER
REASON FOR THEIR STRIPES.
114
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,809
MAYBE THEY ACT AS A
NATURAL BARCODE, LIKE
115
00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:33,613
FINGERPRINTS ON HUMANS,
ALLOWING OTHER ZEBRAS TO
116
00:08:33,713 --> 00:08:36,049
RECOGNIZE EACH OTHER WITH EASE.
117
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:41,054
HOWEVER, WHAT IF THE REAL
REASON FOR THE STRIPES IS
118
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:43,056
SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY?
119
00:08:46,059 --> 00:08:47,894
NOT DEFENSE.
120
00:08:49,662 --> 00:08:51,431
NOT RECOGNITION.
121
00:08:53,466 --> 00:08:55,402
BUT AIR CONDITIONING.

00:08:55,869 --> 00:08:57,971
A WAY TO KEEP COOL.
123
00:08:58,938 --> 00:09:02,108
THIS NEW THEORY HAS COME
FROM OBSERVING A SURPRISING
124
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:03,510

00:09:06,046 --> 00:09:08,715

WHICH ABSORB MORE HEAT,

00:09:08,815 --> 00:09:11,518

IS LOWER THAN IT IS OVER THE

EASILY AS IT CAN BE SEEN.
168
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:16,936
THESE ARE AFRICAN
ELEPHANTS, THE LARGEST
169
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:19,239
LAND ANIMAL ON THE PLANET.
170
00:12:20,373 --> 00:12:24,277
THOUGH THEIR SUPER SIZE IS
ICONIC, IT'S THEIR HEARING
171
00:12:24,377 --> 00:12:26,646
THAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE.
172
00:12:27,781 --> 00:12:30,817
THANKS TO THEIR ENORMOUS EAR
FLAPS, THEY PICK UP EVERY
173
00:12:30,917 --> 00:12:33,353
SOUND WITH EXTREME PRECISION.
174
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:36,690
THEIR HEARING IS SO EFFECTIVE,
THEY CAN PICK UP SOUNDS AT ONLY
175
00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:37,724
5 HERTZ.
176
00:12:37,824 --> 00:12:41,227
THE AVERAGE HUMAN CAN'T
HEAR ANYTHING BELOW 20.
177
00:12:41,327 --> 00:12:43,329
[MUSIC]
178
00:12:48,968 --> 00:12:51,905
DYLAN: BUT THEIR EARS AREN'T
THEIR ONLY MEANS OF HEARING.
179
00:12:52,005 --> 00:12:56,109
INCREDIBLY, ELEPHANTS CAN
ALSO HEAR THROUGH THEIR FEET
180
00:12:56,209 --> 00:12:58,111
IN A MATTER OF SPEAKING.
181
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:01,548
THEY CAN PICK UP ACOUSTIC SOUND
WAVES ON THE GROUND SURFACE
182
00:13:01,648 --> 00:13:03,650
FROM UP TO A MILE AWAY.
183
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:06,953
IT SEEMS EARTH'S BIGGEST
ANIMALS DEVELOP THE MOST
184
00:13:07,053 --> 00:13:09,556
PECULIAR SENSORY TRAITS.
185
00:13:09,956 --> 00:13:12,092
IT WOULD BE EASY TO ASSUME
THAT ELEPHANTS HAVE GREAT
186
00:13:12,192 --> 00:13:15,495
VISION BECAUSE THEY TOWER
OVER ALMOST EVERYTHING.
187
00:13:18,231 --> 00:13:22,369
HOWEVER, SIGHT IS A SENSE
ELEPHANTS STRUGGLE WITH.
188
00:13:23,770 --> 00:13:26,373
WHILE WE MAY FIND IT EASY TO
SPOT THEM AMONG THESE TALL
189
00:13:26,473 --> 00:13:30,477
GRASSES, ELEPHANTS RELY MORE
ON THEIR TRUMPETING SOUNDS,
190
00:13:30,577 --> 00:13:34,314
HUGE EARS AND TRUNKS
TO FIND ONE ANOTHER.
191
00:13:37,083 --> 00:13:40,453
BUT EVEN THAT CAN PROVE
DIFFICULT SOMETIMES.
192
00:13:44,924 --> 00:13:47,394
THIS MOTHER HAS LOST HER CALF.
193
00:13:49,629 --> 00:13:53,433
SHE SEARCHES THE TALL GRASSES
BY THE RIVER FOR ANY SIGNS.
194
00:13:53,633 --> 00:13:56,236
SHE CROSSES INTO THE MIDDLE
OF THE WATER FOR A BETTER VIEW,
195
00:13:56,336 --> 00:13:58,338
BUT STILL NOTHING.
196
00:13:59,005 --> 00:14:01,041
[MUSIC]
197
00:14:08,481 --> 00:14:10,684
DYLAN: THIS TERRAPIN MAY HAVE A
CLUE.
198
00:14:11,484 --> 00:14:12,652
FOUND IT!
199
00:14:12,752 --> 00:14:15,488
THE BABY ELEPHANT IS ONLY A FEW
HUNDRED YARDS AWAY FROM ITS
200
00:14:15,588 --> 00:14:16,790
MOTHER.
201
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:22,595
EVEN IF THE REEDS WEREN'T
THERE, THEY'RE TOO FAR AWAY
202
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:24,631
FOR EITHER TO SEE EACH OTHER.
203
00:14:24,731 --> 00:14:27,434
SO IT'S UP TO THE LITTLE ONE TO
MAKE ITS WAY OUT OF THE RIVER
204
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:30,103
AND BACK TO MORE FAMILIAR
TERRITORY.
205
00:14:31,905 --> 00:14:35,909
BUT THAT TASK IS EASIER SAID
THAN DONE FOR THIS MINI GIANT.
206
00:14:36,076 --> 00:14:40,513
THE SWIMMING IS TIRING AND NOT
FAR AWAY LIES ANOTHER POTENTIAL
207
00:14:40,613 --> 00:14:41,981
PROBLEM.
208
00:14:44,918 --> 00:14:48,421
A HERD OF HIPPOS HAS CLAIMED A
PART OF THE RIVER AND THEY DON'T
209
00:14:48,521 --> 00:14:50,357
LIKE INTRUDERS.
210
00:14:53,426 --> 00:14:56,396
BUT THIS LITTLE ELEPHANT IS
DETERMINED AND WON'T BE
211
00:14:56,496 --> 00:14:59,099
INTIMIDATED BY THIS AQUATIC
ARMY.
212
00:15:00,834 --> 00:15:05,372
IN FACT, HE TAKES THEM HEAD
OR SHALL WE SAY TRUNK ON.
213
00:15:05,472 --> 00:15:07,440
[MUSIC]
214
00:15:23,056 --> 00:15:25,592
DYLAN: PHEW, SAFELY THROUGH.
215
00:15:31,498 --> 00:15:35,101
THE MASSIVE MALE HIPPO COULD
HAVE EASILY MADE THE SITUATION
216
00:15:35,201 --> 00:15:36,903
MORE DANGEROUS.
217
00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:40,440
HOWEVER, IN THIS INSTANCE,
PEACE PREVAILS.
218
00:15:41,074 --> 00:15:43,243
WHILE THE SEARCH FOR MOM
CONTINUES, THE HARDEST PART
219
00:15:43,343 --> 00:15:47,781
IS OVER AND THIS YOUNG CALF CAN
SOON REST SAFELY BACK HOME.
220
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:52,819
UP NEXT, A GOOD RESTING SPOT
IS ALWAYS ON THE PRIORITY
221
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:55,388
LIST FOR THIS LETHAL LAYABOUT.
222
00:15:55,488 --> 00:15:58,091
THERE'S MORE EARTH
ODYSSEY RIGHT AFTER THIS.
223
00:16:07,067 --> 00:16:07,200
.
224
00:16:07,534 --> 00:16:10,103
NARRATOR: WE NOW RETURN TO THE
MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.
225
00:16:10,637 --> 00:16:12,639
[MUSIC]
226
00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:26,720
DYLAN: WHEN THE SUN BEGINS TO
SET, IT SEEMS ALL OF THE WILD
227
00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:29,055
SHARES AN EVENING ROUTINE.
228
00:16:29,089 --> 00:16:32,525
ANIMAL FAMILIES HAVE ALL GOT
TOGETHER AND A WILDLIFE
229
00:16:32,625 --> 00:16:34,160
PROCESSION BEGINS.
230
00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:36,229
[MUSIC]
231
00:16:45,672 --> 00:16:48,942
DYLAN: BUT THERE ARE FAMILIES
THAT ARE UNITED AND SUPPORTIVE,
232
00:16:49,075 --> 00:16:51,878
LIKE THE ELEPHANTS WHERE
EVERYONE LOOKS OUT FOR THE
233
00:16:51,978 --> 00:16:53,713
SMALLEST IN THE GROUP.
234
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:58,518
AND OTHERS, LIKE THE
IMPALAS, GAZELLES THAT
235
00:16:58,618 --> 00:17:01,454
ARE QUITE INDIFFERENT TO
EACH OTHER, ONLY TRAVELING
236
00:17:01,554 --> 00:17:03,356
TOGETHER OUT OF INSTINCT.
237
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:05,425
[MUSIC]
238
00:17:15,235 --> 00:17:18,405
DYLAN: AS NIGHT APPROACHES,
THE HYENAS LEAVE THEIR YOUNG
239
00:17:18,505 --> 00:17:19,906
TO GO OFF HUNTING.
240
00:17:20,507 --> 00:17:23,309
IMPALAS MUST BE DOUBLY
ALERT, ESPECIALLY AS THE
241
00:17:23,410 --> 00:17:27,647
VEGETATION IS DENSE AND CAN
EASILY HIDE A HYENA AMBUSH.
242
00:17:35,755 --> 00:17:38,191
BUT HYENAS AREN'T
THE ONLY THREAT.
243
00:17:38,925 --> 00:17:41,828
THIS IS THE TIME WHEN AN
ATTACK CAN ALSO COME FROM
244
00:17:41,928 --> 00:17:45,765
A LEOPARD OR A LION, SO
BEING VIGILANT IS A MUST.
245
00:17:49,436 --> 00:17:52,739
A NEW DAY HAS BEGUN WITH
RAIN DOMINATING THE SKIES.
246
00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:56,643
IN SOUTHERN AFRICA, DECEMBER
MARKS THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER.
247
00:17:56,743 --> 00:18:00,880
THE DAYS ARE HOT AND THE AIR
IS SATURATED WITH HUMIDITY.
248
00:18:01,014 --> 00:18:03,016
[MUSIC]
249
00:18:09,923 --> 00:18:12,092
DYLAN: BUT THIS WATERLOGGED
WEATHER DOESN'T UPSET THE
250
00:18:12,192 --> 00:18:15,028
SPIRIT OR ACTIVITIES OF ANYONE.
251
00:18:16,196 --> 00:18:20,166
IN FACT, IT'S CAUSE FOR A BIT
OF FROLICKING FUN FOR MANY.
252
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:24,037
BUT THE RAIN CAN STOP AS
QUICKLY AS IT BEGINS.
253
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:30,143
AND FOR THE IMPALAS WHO STOPPED
THEIR GRAZING IN THE DOWNPOUR,
254
00:18:30,243 --> 00:18:32,479
THEY CAN NOW RESUME THEIR
FEEDING.
255
00:18:37,717 --> 00:18:40,720
NOT FAR AWAY, A LEOPARD IS
KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON
256
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:42,155
THE IMPALA.
257
00:18:43,957 --> 00:18:47,293
FOR THE MOMENT, HE HAS NOT YET
MADE THE DECISION TO STRIKE
258
00:18:47,394 --> 00:18:50,063
OR SIMPLY CARRY ON HIS CATNAP.
259
00:18:50,730 --> 00:18:53,066
EVERY ONE OF AFRICA'S
FOUR-LEGGED WONDERS
260
00:18:53,133 --> 00:18:56,536
HAS PERSEVERED TO
SURVIVE ANOTHER DAY.
261
00:18:56,636 --> 00:18:59,639
BUT EVEN FOR PREDATORS, THE
WORK NEVER STOPS IF YOU WANT
262
00:18:59,739 --> 00:19:01,808
TO THRIVE IN THE WILD.
263
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:07,414
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY
ON OUR AFRICAN ADVENTURE.
264
00:19:07,514 --> 00:19:10,150
FEW PLACES ON EARTH HAVE A
MORE VIBRANT AND DIVERSE
265
00:19:10,250 --> 00:19:11,685
COMMUNITY OF WILDLIFE.
266
00:19:11,785 --> 00:19:14,621
WITH MORE THAN ONE MILLION
ANIMAL SPECIES CALLING
267
00:19:14,721 --> 00:19:17,290
THIS CONTINENT HOME,
IT'S NO WONDER THAT SOME
268
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:20,460
OF OUR PLANET'S BIGGEST
SUPERSTARS CAN BE FOUND HERE,
269
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,030
THRIVING IN THE LUSH, WARM
EMBRACE OF THE SAVANNAH.
270
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:26,766
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME FOR
ANOTHER EPISODE OF EARTH
271
00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:28,034
