Episode 1 • Jan 13, 2014
A Dangerous World
Three charismatic animal families, capuchin monkeys, giant otters and coatis, strive to raise their families against a backdrop of extraordinary landscapes and huge extremes of weather - a beautiful yet dangerous world full of jaguars and caiman. This intimate journey to the heart of a spectacular country sees the babies taking their first steps during a pause between seasonal extremes.
Episode 2 • Jan 14, 2014
Facing the Flood
Some five months of Andes and Aamzonian rain forest monsoon cause the mountain streams to swell and start a cascade of flooding, spectacularly affecting Brazilizn wildlife. The capuchin monkeys on the cliffs must make the best of a few eeks of abundant vegetation, while offspring must learn fast to become less dependent on mother and fit into the rude group hierarchy. The otters enjoy abundant fish but are hunted by cayman and, like even these, the mighty jaguar. The coati must retreat higher as their lowlands prairies flood, but feast on lung fish in pools and shallow patches.
Episode 3 • Jan 15, 2014
Enduring the Drought
A fierce drought ensues, culminating in huge and ferocious fires. The capuchin monkeys, giant otters, coatis and jaguars are proving their extreme survival skills while looking for mates and racing to breed to ensure that the next generation are born just as the good times arrive again.

When Dinosaurs Roamed America

When Dinosaurs Roamed America

The life of American dinosaurs is seen in amazing detail. The Feathered Dromeosaurs (Raptors) debut on this film along with the bizarre Therizinosaur. Each story is compelling and well-written. From a Coelophysis exploring the world around him to a teenage Tyrannosaurus learning from his mother how to hunt and even a love story between two Stegosaurus. This film also shows audiences real fossil finds and museum displays to show the researcher's work. This is educational, thrilling, and is a well-executed Discovery Channel response to BBC's ground-breaking "Walking with Dinosaurs" miniseries.
