ANNOUNCER: WHEN YOU SEE THIS
SYMBOL YOU KNOW YOU'RE

WATCHING TELEVISION THAT'S
EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL

THE MORE YOU KNOW ON NBC.

DYLAN: HEY, I'M
DYLAN DREYER,

AND WE'RE ABOUT TO EMBARK ON
ANOTHER “EARTH ODYSSEY.”

TURKEY, AN ANCIENT
LAND WHERE THE

IMPOSSIBLE EXISTS WITH
SOME OF THE MOST EXTREME

CONDITIONS, AND THE
REGION EXPLODES WITH LIFE,

WHETHER ON SHEER CLIFFS,
FROSTBITTEN LANDSCAPES,

OR SCORCHING PLATEAUS.

THE WILL TO SURVIVE ONLY
GROWS STRONGER WITH EACH

CHALLENGE DEMANDED BY LIFE
IN THIS MIDDLE EASTERN

TERRAIN.

[MUSIC]

DYLAN: ALL
OVER THE EARTH,

WE DISCOVER THAT NATURE
FINDS A WAY TO ADAPT.

THAT HAPPENS EVEN
UNDER THE MOST EXTREME

CONDITIONS.

YOU CAN FIND AN EXAMPLE
HERE AT RIPLEY'S AQUARIUM

OF MYRTLE BEACH.

THESE CORAL BEHIND ME HAVE
AN INCREDIBLE ABILITY TO

BOUNCE BACK.

WHEN THEIR REEFS
ARE HIT BY STORMS,

THEY'LL RETURN OVER TIME,
REPOPULATING THE AREA AND

CREATING A NEW
UNDERWATER ECOSYSTEM.

WELL, THERE'S AN ANIMAL
IN TURKEY THAT SHARES THIS

SAME ABILITY TO SURVIVE
UNPREDICTABLE CONDITIONS.

AS TEMPERATURES DROP
WELL BELOW FREEZING,

THE BROWN BEARS YOU'RE
ABOUT TO MEET WILL MOVE

INDOORS FOR THE WINTER,
BUT THE CHALLENGES DON'T

STOP THERE.

SOMETIMES THEY HAVE
TO GO OUT ON A LIMB.

MOUNTAINOUS, BEAUTIFUL,
AND BIZARRE IN ITS ROUGH

NATURE, TURKEY SITS
BETWEEN EUROPE AND THE

MIDDLE EAST.

TWO MAJOR MOUNTAIN RANGES
REST ON EITHER SIDE OF ITS

CENTRAL PLATEAU.

WITH PEAKS RISING MORE THAN

16,000 FEET, SHAPED BY
VOLCANIC EXPLOSIONS AND A

NEVER-ENDING
SUPPLY OF EARTHQUAKES,

THIS IS A LAND
OF EXTREMES.

MAJOR FAULT LINES CAUSING
QUAKES IN THE EARTH'S

SURFACE, 80 PERCENT OF
THE TERRAIN CONSISTS OF

BROKEN, JAGGED ROCK.

WITH FREEZING COLD WINTERS
AND A BURNING HOT SUMMER

SUN, THIS COUNTRY
CHALLENGES THE TOUGHEST

ANIMALS TO
SURVIVE, YET SOMEHOW,

NATURE RISES TO THE
CHALLENGE HERE IN TURKEY,

ONE OF THE MOST
EXTREME CLIMATES ON EARTH.

HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE,
TURKEY'S ALPINE FORESTS

FIND OUT THERE'S
NOWHERE TO GO BUT UP.

THEY'VE MANAGED TO
ROOT DOWN INTO SHEER

MOUNTAINOUS SIDES,
ALLOWING LIFE TO THRIVE

UNDERNEATH ITS CANOPY.

THIS BROWN BEAR TRIES TO
SCALE THE TREES DESPITE

HIS HEFTY BUILD.

BEARS ARE THE LARGEST
LAND MAMMALS IN TURKEY.

THIS ONE COULD
WEIGH HALF-A-TON.

HIS PAWS ARE ENORMOUS,
THE SIZE OF FRISBEES.

HIS FINGERLIKE CLAWS ARE
LONG ENOUGH TO HELP HIM

HANG ON.

IN A TREE, THERE
ARE NO DISRUPTIONS,

AND HE CAN ENJOY HIS
SOLITARY DINNER IN PEACE.

DOWN BELOW IS
ANOTHER STORY.

SOMETIMES A COMPETING BEAR
WILL INTERRUPT HIS FEEDING

TIME.

HE'LL NEED AN ESCAPE ROUTE
TO AVOID ANY TROUBLES.

MALE BEARS
PREFER TO STAY SOLO.

THEY CAN WANDER AS FAR
AS SEVEN HUNDRED MILES

LOOKING FOR A GOOD MEAL.

THESE BEARS TAKE A
LONG WINTER'S NAP,

HIBERNATING FOR SIX
MONTHS AT A TIME.

WHEN THEY WAKE UP, THEY'RE
LITERALLY STARVING.

BEARS DON'T NORMALLY
EAT OR DRINK DURING

HIBERNATION.

IN FACT, FEMALES WHO GIVE
BIRTH DURING THE WINTER

SLEEP CAN LOSE ALMOST
HALF THEIR BODY WEIGHTS.

THESE BEARS ARE
GRUMPY WHEN THEY WAKE UP,

TOO.

[BEARS GROWLING]

DYLAN: THAT'S WHERE THE
OLD SAYING COMES FROM,

“NEVER WAKE A SLEEPING BEAR.”

ONCE THEY'RE UP, IT'S GAME
ON TO FIND A TASTY MORSEL,

EVEN IF IT MEANS BRAVING
THE EXTREME CLIMATE.

TWO LAYERS OF FUR PROTECT
THE BEARS FROM NASTY

WEATHER.

A THICK UPPER LAYER OF
HAIR ACTS LIKE A FURRY

RAINCOAT FOR
THESE MAMMALS.

WATER STREAMS OFF OF
CLUMPS OF THE LONG,

COARSE HAIR.

HE'LL HAVE TO KEEP MOVING
IF HE IS GOING TO GET

ANYTHING TO EAT TODAY.

WATER FALLS OFF THE JAGGED
MOUNTAINS OF TURKEY,

POUNDING INTO THE ROCK,
CREATING SHEER CLIFFS WITH

TREES THAT SHOOT
UP OUT OF NOWHERE,

MAKES LIVING OUT HERE ON
THE EDGE OF THE WORLD SEEM

LIKE A CRAZY CHOICE UNLESS
YOU'RE ONE OF THE BEST

MOUNTAINEERS IN THE WORLD.

MEET TURKEY'S
ANATOLIAN WILD GOAT.

IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT TO
GO THROUGH FOR THE FIRST

SPRING SHOOTS OF THE YEAR.

A FALL FROM THESE STEEP
SIDES WOULD MEAN THE END,

SOME AREAS DROPPING
STRAIGHT DOWN SIX HUNDRED

FEET, BUT THE
GOATS ARE FEARLESS.

EVEN THE JUVENILES USE
THIS CLIFFSIDE PLAY AS

THEIR IDEA OF FUN.

THE GOATS HAVE SOME HIGHLY
SPECIALIZED TOOLS FOR THE

JOB, TOO.

THEIR HOOVES BOTH SPREAD
APART IN TWO AND HAVE

LEATHERY SOLES THAT OFFER
BETTER GRIP WHEN THINGS

GET SLIPPERY.

EVEN THEIR EYES HAVE AN
EXTRAORDINARY DESIGN.

RECTANGULAR-SHAPED PUPILS
ALLOW THESE GOATS TO SEE

TROUBLE COMING FROM
NEARLY EVERY DIRECTION,

EXCELLENT TOOLS TO FIND A
FOOT-HOLE IN THE ROCK OR

SPOT A HUNGRY
PREDATOR LURKING AROUND.

ONE OF THE GOATS
SENSES A PROBLEM NEARBY,

PERHAPS AN EARTHQUAKE?

WORD SPREADS
QUICKLY, AND IN A FLASH,

THE GOATS HAVE LEFT THIS
PERCH ON TOP OF THE WORLD

FOR NOW.

COMING UP ON
“EARTH ODYSSEY,

VOLCANIC ASH HAS LEFT A
UNIQUE HABITAT FOR SOME

SPECTACULAR BIRDS WHO
KNOW HOW TO THROW A PARTY.

FIND OUT WHAT GIVES THESE
FLAMINGOES THEIR ROSY

GLOW, AND THEN FURTHER
DOWN THE GRASSY BANKS IN

TURKEY, WE HAPPEN TO CATCH
THIS LITTLE BUSYBODY AS HE

MAKES A RUN
FOR HIS DINNER.

HE'S GOT GOOD
REASON TO LOOK NERVOUS.

THAT AND A LOT MORE
NEXT ON “EARTH ODYSSEY.”

.

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

ANNOUNCER: THIS EPISODE OF
“EARTH ODYSSEY WITH DYLAN

DREYER” IS BROUGHT TO
YOU BY RIPLEY'S AQUARIUMS.

DYLAN: WELCOME BACK
TO “EARTH ODYSSEY.”

TURKEY IS A LAND OF EXTREMES.

VOLCANOES AND
EARTHQUAKES ROCK THE LAND.

THE LARGEST
VOLCANO IN THIS AREA,

MOUNT ERCIYES,
RISES INTO THE CLOUDS.

IT HOVERS OVER
THESE WETLANDS,

A THRIVING ECOSYSTEM FED
BY THE MINERALS OF THE

VOLCANIC EARTH.

EVEN THOUGH THESE WATERS
ARE MILES FROM ANY OCEAN

LAKE YAY IS SALTY, PERFECT
FEEDING GROUNDS FOR THE

GREATER FLAMINGO, EVEN
MORE SO BECAUSE OTHER

BIRDS FIND THE SALTY
WATER UNAPPETIZING.

THE FLAMINGOES USE THEIR
FEET TO STIR UP THE SILTY

BOTTOM AND THEN GO
MINING FOR FLAMINGO GOLD.

THEIR UPSIDE-DOWN BILLS
SUCK UP LOOSE SEDIMENT,

SIFTING OUT WHAT
THEY DON'T WANT,

COLLECTING DELICIOUS
LITTLE SHRIMPS AND ALGAE.

THAT'S WHAT TURNS THE
FLAMINGO'S FEATHERS A

BLUSH PINK COLOR.

THEIR LONG, SKINNY LEGS
WADE DEEP INTO THE WATER.

IT'S GOOD FISHING GROUNDS
WITH A BIRD'S EYE VIEW,

BUT GUSTY WINDS CAN
SEND THESE BIRDS FLYING.

IT'S QUITE A CHALLENGE
TO LIVE ON THE SIDE OF A

VOLCANO AT HIGH ALTITUDE.

IN SEARCH OF
CALMER WATERS,

THE BIRDS RISK THE WINDS
AND FLY TO SAFER FEEDING

GROUNDS.

NOT EVERYONE CHOOSES TO
STRUT AROUND THE WETLANDS,

HOWEVER.

THIS LITTLE GUY
KEEPS HIS HEAD DOWN,

TRYING TO AVOID
TROUBLE FROM ABOVE,

WITH GOOD REASON.

THIS IS THE
ANATOLIAN GROUND SQUIRREL.

HE LIVES IN CONSTANT FEAR.

FLYING PREDATORS WOULD
LIKE TO TAKE HIM HOME TO

THEIR NESTS IN THE
CLIFFS, AND HE KNOWS IT,

BUT TO EAT, HE
MUST EXPOSE HIMSELF.

THE SQUIRREL MAKES A DASH
FOR SOME FRESH GRASSES

SPOTTED IN THE DISTANCE.

SHARP CLAWS DIG
OUT THE TREAT.

IN A FLASH, HE STRIPS THE
LESS APPEALING OUTER LAYER

AND GOES FOR THE SOFTER,
SWEETER GRASSES INSIDE,

TEARING AWAY AT THE PRIZE.

HIS TEETH ARE AN
EXCELLENT TOOL,

AND AS HE WEARS THEM DOWN
WITH ALL OF THAT CHEWING,

THOSE TEETH KEEP
GROWING EVERY DAY.

WHILE MAKING QUICK
WORK OF THE MEAL,

HIS JOY IS OVER
IN AN INSTANT.

HIS WORST FEAR
IS REALIZED,

A BIRD OF PREY.

THE MARSH HARRIER SPOTS
THE GROUND SQUIRREL AS HE

SURVEYS THE LAND.

THE SQUIRREL
DASHES AWAY AGAIN,

WARNING OTHERS NEARBY
OF THE IMPENDING DANGER.

THE BIRD GETS
CLOSER TO HIS TARGET,

BUT THE SQUIRREL KNOWS
THESE GRASSY BANKS WELL.

HIDDEN TUNNELS
DOT THE LANDSCAPE.

HE DIVES
HEADFIRST FOR SAFETY...

...A WELCOME HIDING PLACE
UNTIL HE CAN WORK UP THE

NERVE TO POKE HIS HEAD
OUT INTO THE WORLD AGAIN.

COMING UP ON
“EARTH ODYSSEY,

MEET A TURKISH LIZARD
WHO TAKES CENTER STAGE,

AND THEN THE UNTAMED
BEACHES OFF THE COAST OF

TURKEY COME ALIVE WITH
GHOST-LIKE CRITTERS AND

PREHISTORIC CREATURES
GUIDED BY THE LIGHT OF THE

MOON.

FIND OUT WHY THESE LITTLE
ONES MAKE A MAD DASH TO

THE WATERS AND
WHERE THEY'RE HEADED.

THAT STORY AND MORE FROM TURKEY
COMING UP ON “EARTH ODYSSEY”.

.

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

DYLAN: WELCOME BACK
TO “EARTH ODYSSEY.”

THIS IS GABBY THE
GREEN SEA TURTLE,

AND SHE HAS BEEN MAKING
QUITE A SPLASH HERE AT THE

AQUARIUM SINCE SHE ARRIVED
ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO.

TODAY, SHE WEIGHS A
WHOPPING 350 POUNDS.

SHE ALSO HAPPENS TO BE
COUSINS WITH ANOTHER TYPE

OF SEA TURTLE
CALLED THE LOGGERHEAD,

AND THEY WILL SWIM
THOUSANDS OF MILES TO THE

SHORES OF
TURKEY'S WILD BEACHES.

THERE, THEY'LL CRAWL UP ON
SHORE AND LAY THEIR EGGS,

AND WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE
JUST HOW MANY BABY TURTLES

WILL BE POPPING OUT OF
THE SAND IN A FEW MONTHS.

UNDER THE BLAZING HOT SUN,
ANCIENT RUINS MARK THE END

OF ONE CIVILIZATION.

THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO,
THE PORT CITY OF KAUNOS,

ONCE A
THRIVING METROPOLIS,

WAS OVERCOME BY MOSQUITOES
AND THEN MALARIA.

ONLY THESE STONES OF
AN OLD THEATER REMAIN.

THEY SIT FIVE MILES
FROM THE OCEAN'S EDGE,

PROVIDING WONDERFUL
HUNTING GROUNDS FOR A

LIZARD WITH A
FLAIR FOR THEATRICS.

THIS IS THE STARRED AGAMA.

HE'S LOOKING FOR A
FRIEND, BUT FIRST,

HE NEEDS TO WARM UP.

BASKING IN THE SUN, THE
LIZARD SITS HIGH ON THE

ROCKS, ANGLING FOR A
PROMINENT POSITION,

ALL THE BETTER TO SHOW OFF
HIS IMPRESSIVE PHYSIQUE.

THERE ARE A FEW
FEMALES IN THE WINGS,

ALONG WITH ANOTHER SUITOR
THREATENING TO TAKE OVER

HIS LEAD ROLE.

TO SHOW HIS STRENGTH, A
FEW PUSHUPS WILL DO THE

TRICK.

HE LOOKS AROUND, BOBBING
HIS HEAD WITH APPROVAL.

TODAY, HE
COMES OUT ON TOP.

NO ONE COULD BEAT SUCH
A STRONG PERFORMANCE.

DOWN BY THE COASTLINE,
THERE'S ANOTHER BATTLE

BEING WAGED.

THESE GOLDEN SANDS ARE THE
PERFECT FOIL FOR A CRAB

WHO HAUNTS THE SHORELINES
OF THE MIDDLE EAST.

THIS IS THE GHOST CRAB.

HE HAS EYES THAT
ACT LIKE A PERISCOPE,

TURNING 360 DEGREES TO
SPOT APPROACHING DANGER AS

WELL AS ANY
DINNER PROSPECTS,

BUT RIGHT NOW, THE BIGGEST
CONCERN IS THE BLAZING

TEMPERATURES.

HE NEEDS TO BURROW
DOWN TO ESCAPE THE HEAT.

THE GHOST CRAB SPENDS MOST
OF HIS TIME CLEANING UP

THE DIRT THAT
CLOGS HIS HOME,

ALWAYS TRYING TO KEEP ONE
STEP AHEAD OF THE CHANGING

TIDES.

FOR NOW, THE GHOST
CRAB TRIES TO LAY LOW AND

RESERVE HIS ENERGY.

HE'S GOT A BIG
NIGHT AHEAD.

THE SUN FINALLY
STARTS TO SET,

COOLING DOWN THE SAND AND
MAKING WAY FOR A GROUP OF

ANCIENT NAUTICAL TRAVELERS
TO SWIM TO SHORE.

THOUSANDS OF TURTLES
CHOOSE TURKEY'S WILD

BEACHES FOR
THEIR NESTING SPOTS.

THIS LOGGERHEAD TURTLE
SWIMS OUT OF THE SEA.

SHE STRUGGLES THOSE LAST
FEW YARDS TO FIND A DRY

NESTING SPOT.

IMPORTANT TO STAY OUT
OF THE REACH OF INCOMING

TIDES, IT'S
TIME TO LAY EGGS.

THESE EGGS HAVE A
ONE-IN-THREE CHANCE OF

SURVIVAL.

THE CONDITIONS OUT
HERE ARE BRUTAL.

TOO MUCH RAIN,
AND THEY'LL DROWN.

TOO MUCH SUN,
AND THEY'LL BURN.

PLUS, PLENTY OF PREDATORS
ARE EAGER TO FIND A HIDDEN

BURIAL SPOT.

IN ABOUT TWO MONTHS, THE
EGGS ARE READY TO HATCH.

OUT POPS ONE HUNDRED OR
SO BABIES FROM THE NEST.

WITH SO MANY LITTLE
TURTLES BORN TOGETHER,

THE HOPE IS SOME OF THOSE
BABIES WILL MAKE IT TO THE

WATER'S EDGE, BUT THE
AMBUSH IS PREPARED.

GHOST CRABS PICK UP ON THE
MOVEMENT FROM THE NEST.

THEY MAKE THEIR MOVE.

GHOSTLY EYES
APPEAR OVER THE SAND.

THESE TINY PREHISTORIC
REPTILES LET THE MOON

GUIDE THEM TO THE SEA.

IT'S A RACE TO SEE
WHO GETS THERE FIRST.

JUST AS THE
GHOST CRABS MOVE IN,

A WAVE BREAKS ON-SHORE
STRONG ENOUGH TO WASH THE

NEWLY HATCHED
TURTLES OUT TO SEA.

SAFE FOR THE MOMENT
FROM THE CRAB'S CLUTCHES,

NOW THE BATTLE TO SURVIVE
IN OPEN WATERS BEGINS.

COMING UP ON
“EARTH ODYSSEY,

WINTER FALLS ACROSS
THE MOUNTAIN PEAKS.

FOOD IS SCARCE FOR THESE
WILD SHEEP OF TURKEY.

FIND OUT HOW THEY SURVIVE
IN THIS EXTREME CLIMATE

WITH DANGER EVERYWHERE.

THAT AND MUCH MORE NEXT
ON “EARTH ODYSSEY.”

.

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

DYLAN: WINTER APPROACHES.

TEMPERATURES DROP
WELL BELOW FREEZING.

THIS MIDDLE EASTERN AREA
TRANSFORMS INTO A WHITE

WONDERLAND.

A BLANKET OF SNOW
HIDES THE JAGGED ROCKS AND

RUGGED TERRAIN.

THERE ARE 130 MOUNTAIN
PEAKS MADE IMPASSABLE BY

THIS WEATHER.

ANIMALS THAT CAN WILL
HIBERNATE AND WAIT UNTIL

THE SNOW MELTS BEFORE
TRYING TO FIND BETTER

FEEDING
GROUNDS, BUT NOT ALL.

THE ANATOLIAN MOUFLON ARE
THE WILD SHEEP OF TURKEY.

THESE ANCESTORS OF THE
DOMESTICATED SHEEP HAVE NO

CHOICE.

LIVING HIGH ON
THE MOUNTAINS,

THEY LIVE ON PLANT TUBERS
HIDDEN BENEATH THE FROZEN

GROUND.

HOWEVER, THEY'RE NOT THE
ONLY HUNGRY ANIMALS IN THE

MOUNTAINS.

WOLVES STALK THESE SHEEP.

WOLVES CAN REACH SPEEDS
UP TO 60 MILES PER HOUR.

STAYING CLOSE, THE HERD
MAKES A BREAK FOR IT.

KEEPING TOGETHER IS
HOW THEY SURVIVE THESE

CHASES...

...UNITY IN ACTION.

THE WILDLIFE OF TURKEY
MIRRORS THE LANDSCAPE

HERE.

BEING RUGGED, STRONG, AND
DETERMINED IS THE ONLY WAY

TO SURVIVE
AMONG VOLCANOES,

EARTHQUAKES, AND
EXTREME TEMPERATURES.

FROM VERTICAL
MOUNTAINSIDES TO RAGING

WATERFALLS AND
BLUSTERY FIELDS,

THEY TAKE ON THE ELEMENTS
THAT MAKE THIS MIDDLE

EASTERN COUNTRYSIDE A
UNIQUE PLAYGROUND AT THE

EDGE OF THE WORLD.

HEY, THANKS FOR JOINING
ME ON THIS SPECTACULAR

JOURNEY THROUGH THE
GREATEST PLACES ON EARTH.

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME FOR
ANOTHER “EARTH ODYSSEY.”
