Wild America

Our most common wild feline is a perfectly designed predator quick and clever enough to capture a tiny Meadow Mouse, yet formidable enough to bring down a full-grown Deer.

Most predators and prey have evolved in unison. Intimately linked together are two birds the speedy Goshawk and the alert Ruffed Grouse.

This beast that hunts like a Weasel and howls like a Wolf is a five-inch Grasshopper Mouse of our western deserts and plains. It feasts on Tarantulas, and Scorpions.

The Lynx is one of Nature's finest physical specimens. Its primary quarry is the Snowshoe Hare. Lynx and Snowshoe Hare is linked in a ten-year cycle that rises and falls in unison.

A Polar Bear emerges from her maternity den with cubs. Over two or three years, will protect and patiently teach her cubs how to survive in their beautiful Arctic home.

Up to a hundred huge Brown Bears line up along the McNeil River in Alaska. Each Bear stakes out and defends its fishing territory.

In this program, our attitudes toward the Grizzly are examined as well as the animal itself. Rare footage reveals the birth of tiny cubs during the female's winter denning.

Witness the wondrous birth of tiny twin Deer fawns, and see Wolf pups emerge from their den. Both the Deer and the Wolf are followed through their age of innocence into maturity.

The Wolverine is a rarely glimpsed, and misunderstood scavenger with tremendous strength. Here we see the Wolverine in the land it shares with Wolf, Red Fox and Snowshoe Hare.
