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 EVERYONE, I'M DYLAN
DREYER.

GET READY TO EMBARK ON
AN EXCITING EXPEDITION

ON EARTH ODYSSEY.

TODAY, WE'RE TAKING A TRIP
AROUND THE WORLD TO SEE

THE WILD'S MOST ADORABLE
ADOLESCENT ANIMALS.

LIKE THESE BIG CAT KIDS
THAT ARE BORN WITH AN

UNMISTAKABLE SPOTTED STYLE.

AND SOME NOBLE NEWBORNS IN
TRAINING TO BE THE NEXT KINGS

AND QUEENS OF THE JUNGLE.

LATER, WE'LL MEET SOME
YOUNG BUCKS WHO LOVE TO

SHOW OFF THEIR STRENGTH.

BUT FIRST, WE HEAD TO THE
AFRICAN SAVANNAH WHERE GIVING

BIRTH TO THESE IMPRESSIVE
INFANTS IS A TALL ORDER.

ALL THIS COMING UP
ON EARTH ODYSSEY.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: IN EARTH'S WILD
ENVIRONMENTS, A TAPESTRY OF LIFE

UNFOLDS WITH EACH PASSING DAY.

AND THERE'S NO SIGNAL OF
CHANGE QUITE LIKE THE

ARRIVAL OF A NEW GENERATION.

THESE NEWBORN CREATURES REVIVE
THE SPIRIT AND WONDER OF NATURE,

SHOWING THE RESILIENCE AND
STRENGTH IT TAKES TO SURVIVE.

THOUGH NOT EVERY NEWCOMER
IS A TINY BUNDLE OF JOY.

FOR NATURE'S BIGGEST ANIMALS,
THEIR LARGER THAN LIFE

REPUTATION STARTS FROM DAY ONE.

THE EXCITEMENT IS PALPABLE
IN THIS NATURAL NEIGHBORHOOD

AS A NEW ARRIVAL HAS
JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED.

A BABY GIRAFFE.

AS NEWBORNS GO, IT'S ONE
OF THE BIGGEST IMAGINABLE.

AT BIRTH, THIS LITTLE ONE
WAS ALREADY ALMOST SEVEN

FEET TALL AND 150 POUNDS.

ITS ENTRANCE INTO THE
WORLD IS RATHER DRAMATIC.

GIRAFFES GIVE BIRTH STANDING
UP SO THE BABY DROPS ALMOST

SIX FEET TO THE GROUND.

LUCKILY, IT'S ON ITS FEET FAST,
ABLE TO STAND AFTER JUST A

FEW MINUTES AND ENJOY SOME
MILK FROM MOM WITHIN AN HOUR.

A GIRAFFE'S MILK IS VERY
NUTRITIOUS, SO FEEDING

TIMES CAN BE SPACED OUT,
WHICH ALLOWS MOM A NICE

BREAK FROM TIME TO
TIME AND THE FREEDOM

DOESN'T GO UNAPPRECIATED.

MOM WILL TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF
THE BREAK TO GET A DRINK OF HER

OWN.

YET IN THESE EARLY DAYS, MOM
HAS ONLY ONE SIMPLE RULE.

NEVER BE MORE THAN 100
FEET AWAY FROM HER BABY.

MOTHERS MOVE AWAY FROM
OTHER GIRAFFES WHEN THEY

ARE ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH.

A PECULIAR CHOICE CONSIDERING
THIS IS THE MOST VULNERABLE

TIME FOR BOTH MOTHER
AND CHILD IN THE WILD.

BUT THEY MANAGE QUITE WELL, ABLE
TO OBSERVE THEIR SURROUNDINGS

WITH EXPERT PRECISION, THANKS
TO THEIR UNMATCHED HEIGHT.

LIONS AND HYENAS ARE
A CONSIDERABLE THREAT

FOR THE LITTLE ONE, SO
MAINTAINING A WATCHFUL EYE

IS CRUCIAL IN THE FIRST MONTH
OF THE YOUNG GIRAFFE'S LIFE.

ONCE THEY'VE REACHED THAT MARK,
MOM CAN RELAX HER CONSTANT

WATCHING, JUST A LITTLE.

AT THE VERY LEAST, SHE ALLOWS
HER YOUNG TO VENTURE FARTHER

AWAY WHILE MOM FORAGES.

THE GIRAFFE CALF TAKES FULL
ADVANTAGE OF THIS, WANDERING

SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS AWAY
TO EXPLORE ITS NEW HOME.

IT'S STILL A RISKY
SITUATION, SO IF GIVEN THE

OPPORTUNITY, GIRAFFES WILL
GET CLOSER TO OTHER FEMALES

WHO ALSO HAVE NEWBORNS.

YOUNG GIRAFFES ARE NEARLY
EXACT COPIES OF ADULTS

WITH ONLY TWO DIFFERENCES.

SIZE, OF COURSE, AND THE
RUFFLED TUFT OF HAIR THEY

HAVE AT THE TOP OF THEIR HORNS.

THESE HORNS WERE ALREADY PART
OF THE GIRAFFE'S BUILD AT

THE EMBRYO STAGE, WHICH IS
EXTREMELY UNIQUE IN MAMMALS.

BABY GIRAFFES HAVE A
NATURAL TENDENCY TO MINGLE

WITH KIDS THEIR OWN AGE,
SO A KIND OF NATURAL

NURSERY COMES INTO BEING,
WHICH ALLOWS MOTHERS A BIT

MORE FREEDOM WHILE THE
PROTECTION DUTIES ARE SHARED.

IT'S A TEAM EFFORT AMONG
GIRAFFES TO ENSURE THEIR YOUNG

ONES WILL ONE DAY GROW TO BE
THE WORLD'S TALLEST MAMMALS.

COMING UP, IT'S EASY TO
SPOT THIS FURRY FAMILY WHEN

THEY'RE OUT ON THE PROWL,

AND WE'LL MEET SOME PINT-SIZED
PREDATORS PRACTICING THEIR

SKILLS.

PLUS, THESE GAZELLES ARE
GATHERING TO WELCOME IN

THEIR NEWEST ARRIVAL WHEN
EARTH ODYSSEY RETURNS.

.

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

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: STYLE IS AN IMPORTANT
ATTRIBUTE IN THE WILD.

EACH UNIQUE COAT AND
COLOR SCHEME PLAYS AN

INTEGRAL ROLE IN SURVIVAL,
AND FEW ARE MORE EYE-CATCHING

THAN THAT OF THE LEOPARD,
THOUGH YOU'D BE HARD-PRESSED

TO SPOT THEM.

LEOPARDS PREFER A SOLITARY
LIFESTYLE AND ARE EXPERTS

AT STAYING INCOGNITO.

AND IF THEY HAVE ONE
WEAKNESS, IT'S THIS.

THEY'RE YOUNG.

ADOLESCENT LEOPARDS ARE
EXTREMELY VULNERABLE.

THEY SPEND THE FIRST FEW WEEKS
OF THEIR LIFE IN A CAREFULLY

CHOSEN HAVEN UNDER CONSTANT
SUPERVISION FROM THEIR MOTHER.

LIONS AND HYENAS POSE A CONSTANT
THREAT, SO AVOIDING ATTENTION

IS CRUCIAL TO THEIR
SURVIVAL, EVEN AS FORMIDABLE

PREDATORS THEMSELVES.

AND WHEN THE TIME COMES TO
RUN AND HIDE, LEOPARDS ARE

MASTERS OF THE DISAPPEARING ACT.

IN SEARCH OF ITS MOTHER,
THIS YOUNG IMPALA HAS

MOVED AWAY FROM THE GROUP.

WITH NO MILK ON TAP, IT IS
ALREADY QUITE INTERESTED

IN THE TASTE OF THE LEAVES
AND GRASSES THAT WILL BE

THEIR DIET AS AN ADULT.

BUT FORAGING FOR THEMSELVES
COMES AT FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS,

SO WITHOUT MILK FROM
ITS MOTHER, THIS LITTLE

IMPALA WON'T SURVIVE.

LUCKILY, THE HERD
ISN'T FAR AWAY.

TIME TO GO BACK AND
JOIN THE OTHERS.

THIS LITTLE IMPALA CAN'T
GET DISCOURAGED BECAUSE

SOMEWHERE AMONG THE THRONG
OF THESE INCREDIBLE

ANIMALS, ITS MOTHER AWAITS.

BEFORE LONG, THEY ARE REUNITED,
AND THE BABY CAN FEAST ON THE

MILK THAT IT'S BEEN CRAVING.

WE'VE FOUND THE LEOPARD CUBS
AGAIN, AND THEY'RE GETTING

AN EDUCATION OF THEIR OWN.

THEIR MOTHER WATCHES OVER
THEM FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR TO

ENSURE THEY DEVELOP THE
TOOLS AND TRAITS TO SURVIVE.

SHE'LL MAKE SURE THEY CAN
HUNT AND FEED THEMSELVES

BEFORE LEAVING THEM.

ONE REASON THIS SPECIES
THRIVES IS THE WIDE

VARIETY OF FOOD THEY EAT.

BUT FOR NOW, THIS CUB STILL
PREFERS ITS MOTHER'S MILK.

BUT A PRACTICE HUNT IS
NEVER A BAD IDEA.

SURPRISE!

LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE HAD
A HUNT OF THEIR OWN IN MIND.

WHILE MOM EATS, IT'S
THE PERFECT TIME TO PLAY.

GETTING THEMSELVES READY
FOR A LIFE OF HUNTING,

BREEDING, AND THRIVING ON
THEIR OWN IN THE WILD.

WHEN WE COME BACK, THEY MAY
LOOK CUTE AND CUDDLY, BUT YOU

WOULDN'T WANT TO TUSSLE WITH
THESE CARNIVOROUS KITTENS.

LATER, WE'LL DROP IN ON
ONE OF THE BIGGEST NEWBORN

NURSERIES IN THE WILD.

ALL THIS, NEXT,
ON EARTH ODYSSEY.

.

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

DYLAN: ACROSS THE WORLD,
WHETHER A WOLF IN NORTH AMERICA

OR A LION IN THE SAVANNA,
EARTH'S PREDATORS HAVE A

PRETTY DEADLY REPUTATION.

THOUGH IT'S NO SURPRISE WHY.

THEIR ENTIRE EXISTENCE RELIES
ON THE ABILITY TO HUNT

AND PREY ON OTHER ANIMALS.

YET THIS NECESSARY ROUGHNESS
OFTEN MAKES US FORGET

THAT THERE ARE THREATS AND
DANGERS FOR EVEN THE MOST

COLOSSAL OF CARNIVORES.

PROTECTION, SHELTER, AND
DEFENSIVE TACTICS MUST BE

PART OF THEIR REPERTOIRE,
BECAUSE IN THE WILD, EVEN

PREDATORS HAVE PREDATORS.

SHAPE AND SIZE MAY BE
THE EASIEST WAY TO

DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN
ANIMALS, BUT FOR SOME,

IT'S ALL ABOUT COLOR.

THIS SPOTTED PATTERN IS A
FORM OF CAMOUFLAGE, HELPING

THEM HIDE AMONGST THE FLORA
AS THEY STALK THEIR PREY.

HOWEVER, EVEN PREDATORS CAN
BE THE ONES WHO ARE HUNTED.

LEOPARD CUBS CAN FALL PREY
TO HYENAS AND EVEN LIONS.

SO BEING ABLE TO BLEND IN IS A
KEY ASPECT TO THEIR SURVIVAL,

BOTH IN HUNTING AND HIDING.

FOR HYENA CUBS, THE DANGER
IS A LITTLE CLOSER TO HOME.

OCCASIONALLY, THE ROUGH
AND TUMBLE BETWEEN

SIBLINGS CAN GO TOO FAR.

LUCKILY, MOM IS RIGHT THERE
TO SETTLE THE ARGUMENT.

HOWEVER, AMONG THESE IMPRESSIVE
YOUNG PREDATORS, IT'S THE LION

CUBS THAT HAVE THE TOUGHEST
HILL TO CLIMB.

THE WEAKEST OF THE LITTER
HAVE TROUBLE FINDING FOOD,

SO HUNGER IS ALWAYS A RISK.

OTHERS DON'T GET ALONG WITH THE
PRIDE'S DOMINANT MALE, WHICH

MAKES FOR A TESTY RELATIONSHIP.

HOWEVER, LION CUBS SHOW A GREAT
DEAL OF RESILIENCE, SURVIVING

THROUGH CHANGES IN CLIMATE,
RESOURCES, AND THREATS

FROM FELLOW ANIMALS, AND
DOING ALL OF THIS TOGETHER.

THESE SIX CUBS ARE ALL
PART OF THE SAME LITTER.

HOWEVER, MOM CAN ONLY FEED
FOUR AT A TIME, SO PATIENCE

AND ORGANIZATION IS A LESSON
LEARNED EARLY IN THIS FAMILY.

EACH MUST WAIT THEIR TURN,
WHICH THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD AT.

LION MOTHERS GIVE BIRTH AFTER
AROUND 110 DAYS OF PREGNANCY.

EACH CUB WEIGHS A MINUTE
THREE POUNDS AT BIRTH, BUT

WILL GROW TO MORE THAN 100
TIMES THAT WEIGHT AS ADULTS.

THESE FRISKY FELINES ENJOY
THEIR YOUTH, USING THEIR

LITTER MATES AS THE PERFECT
TRAINING PARTNERS TO

LEARN THE WAYS OF THE WILD.

UNDER THEIR MOTHER'S WATCHFUL
GAZE, THEY'LL LEARN AND

DEVELOP, ABLE TO START JOINING
THE HUNT AT ABOUT A YEAR OLD.

BUT FOR NOW, AT ONLY A FEW
MONTHS OLD, ANY PASSING

PREY FALLS UNDER THE "LOOK,
DON'T TOUCH" CATEGORY.

FOR WARTHOGS, HIDING ISN'T
THEIR FORTE, SO THEY

KEEP EXTREMELY MOBILE.

WHEN IT'S TIME TO MOVE OUT,
MOM DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY TOO

MUCH ABOUT THEM FALLING BEHIND.

INSTINCTIVELY, YOUNG WARTHOGS
WILL FOLLOW THEIR MOTHER

CLOSELY IN TIGHT FORMATION.

THIS REGIMENTED GAME OF
"FOLLOW THE LEADER" MAKES

SURE NO PIGLET IS LEFT BEHIND.

SPENDING SO MUCH TIME
WITH ONE ANOTHER, IT'S NO

SURPRISE THAT A TUSSLE BREAKS
OUT EVERY NOW AND THEN.

HOWEVER, THIS PLAY FIGHTING
IS AS IMPORTANT AS ANY

OTHER EARLY EDUCATION, TO
ENSURE THAT THEY CAN LOOK

AFTER THEMSELVES WHEN MAKING
THEIR OWN WAY IN THE WILD.

WARTHOGS, LIKE THESE, ARE A
PARTICULAR FAVORITE OF LIONS,

SO MOM AND DAD MUST TAKE
EXTRA CAUTION WITH THEIR OWN

LITTLE ONES RUNNING AROUND.

LUCKILY, THESE PINT-SIZED
PIGS ARE FAST AND NIMBLE,

GIVING THEM AN EDGE.

WHILE AS ADULTS THEY ARE EXPERT
FORAGERS, BABY WARTHOGS STILL

RELY ON THEIR MOTHER FOR MILK.

MOMS CAN HAVE UP TO EIGHT
KIDS IN A SINGLE LITTER.

TALK ABOUT A FULL-TIME JOB.

BUT IN THIS FORAGING
FAMILY, IT'S ONLY FOUR,

THE PERFECT NUMBER TO MAKE
SURE ENOUGH LOVE, CARE, AND

OF COURSE MILK GOES AROUND.

AT FIVE MONTHS, THEY ARE ABLE
TO FEED THEMSELVES ON A DIET

OF MOSTLY GRASSES, ROOTS,
BERRIES, AND OTHER PLANTS.

HOWEVER, THEY'VE ALSO
BEEN KNOWN TO SCAVENGE

MEAT WHEN IT'S AVAILABLE.

ALWAYS THE OPPORTUNISTS.

BUT FOR NOW, SOME NICE
SHRUBS MAKE A DELICIOUS

LUNCHTIME BUFFET.

AFTER THE BREAK, WE'LL MEET
THE NEWEST GENERATION OF THIS

FAST, FOUR-LEGGED FAMILY.

STICK AROUND FOR MORE
EARTH ODYSSEY UP NEXT.

.

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

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: FROM THE DAY THEY'RE
BORN, ANIMALS ARE CONSTANTLY

LEARNING HOW TO MAKE THE
BEST OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT.

SOMETIMES IT CAN BE AS SIMPLE
AS KNOWING WHEN TO RELAX.

IMPALAS ARE KEEN TIMEKEEPERS
AND WAIT UNTIL TWO HOURS

BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN BEFORE
THEY GET ACTIVE AGAIN.

THE BABY IMPALAS ARE
TRYING OUT THEIR MOBILITY

FOR THE FIRST TIME.

THE LITTLE GAZELLES CAN
STAND FOR BARELY TEN

MINUTES AFTER THEY'RE BORN.

AS SOON AS THEY ARE TWO
DAYS OLD, THEY HAVE TO BE

ABLE TO FOLLOW THE GROUP.

THIS IMPRESSIVE CLAN OF ABOUT
100 IMPALAS IS LARGELY DOMINATED

BY THE FEMALES AND THEIR YOUNG.

BUT A FEW YOUNG, UNATTACHED
MALES LIVE ALONGSIDE THEM.

THEY'RE EASILY RECOGNIZED
BECAUSE WITH IMPALAS,

ONLY THE MALES HAVE HORNS.

AND THEY USE THEM.

THESE YOUNG MALES, WHO ARE
CONFRONTING EACH OTHER

ALL THE TIME, SOMETIMES
SERIOUSLY, SOMETIMES NOT,

ARE ALREADY CAPABLE OF
REPRODUCING, BUT THEY HAVE TO

WAIT UNTIL THEY'RE FOUR YEARS
OLD BEFORE IT'S THEIR TURN.

AFTER MATING, THE FEMALES CARRY
THEIR YOUNG FOR ABOUT 200 DAYS.

AT THE END OF THIS LONG
PREGNANCY, ALL THESE

VIGOROUS AND WELL-BEHAVED
BABIES ARRIVE ALL AT ONCE.

THE MOST STRIKING TRAIT OF
IMPALAS, WHATEVER THEIR AGE, IS

THE CONDITION OF THEIR COATS.

NEARLY ALWAYS PERFECTLY
CLEAN, PERFECTLY SMOOTH.

IT IS BOTH A SIGN OF GOOD
HEALTH AND THE GUARANTEE OF

GOOD CONDITION IN GENERAL.

THIS IS THE RESULT OF
SEVERAL PARTICULAR THINGS.

NOT ONLY IS THE IMPALA THE
SMALLEST MAMMAL TO WELCOME THE

ASSISTANCE OF THE OXPECKERS,
BUT EVEN THE YOUNGEST OF THEM

ACCEPT THIS INVALUABLE HELP.

THEY SOMETIMES GET A BIT
MUCH, BUT ARE VERY USEFUL

IN GETTING RID OF TICKS.

IN FACT, THE IMPALA
IS THE ONLY MAMMAL TO

PRACTICE MUTUAL DELOUSING.

THIS RITUAL CAN BE OBSERVED
IN BOTH MALES AND FEMALES,

AS WELL AS THE YOUNG IMPALAS.

IT'S THE ONLY TIME THEY ALLOW
ONE OF THEIR FELLOW CREATURES

TO COME CLOSER THAN SIX FEET.

THIS MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL
RELATIONSHIP IS A BEAUTIFUL

SYMBOL OF COMMUNITY IN THE WILD.

AND AN IMPORTANT REMINDER
THAT WHEN IT COMES

TO SURVIVAL SKILLS,
THESE ANIMAL BABIES ARE

NEVER TOO YOUNG TO LEARN.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY
ON OUR EXCURSION INTO THE WILD.

WHILE EVERY ENVIRONMENT
MAY HAVE ITS OWN UNIQUE

COLLECTION OF CREATURES,
ONE THING THAT TIES THEM

ALL TOGETHER IS DIVERSITY.

FROM EXOTIC BIRDS TO MASSIVE
MAMMALS, SCALY REPTILES

TO SHELL-BOUND CRUSTACEANS,
ALL ARE MASTERS OF

NAVIGATING THE WILD AS
ONE GIANT ANIMAL KINGDOM.

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME
FOR ANOTHER EPISODE

OF EARTH ODYSSEY.
