Episode 1 • Mar 02, 2009
Winter
As we follow the grip of winter over the course of six freezing months, we chart the fortunes of Yellowstone's wildlife in a finely balanced fight to survive. Bison and elk struggle to feed with the grass buried under some of the deepest snow in America, while the wolf grows stronger during the harsh winter months. All of their fates are ultimately linked to the power of Yellowstone's volcanic heart.
Episode 2 • Mar 21, 2009
Summer
As the spring melts the winter snow, the full extent of Yellowstone is gradually revealed. Now, from the surrounding lowlands herds of elk, pronghorn and bison return from their winter feeding grounds to take advantage of America's richest natural grasslands. Grizzly bears emerge from hibernation to teach their young to hunt fish and how to survive in the Alpine peaks. But just as it seems the easy living of summer has arrived, a new danger emerges.
Episode 3 • Mar 28, 2009
Autumn
An early autumn dusting of snow is a sign for elk to start moving down from the mountains to focus on finding food in the valleys below. Although the wolves are waiting for them, the male elk are distracted, they are fired up and ready to fight each other for the right to breed. Beavers get busy in a rush to repair dams and stock underwater larders before ice freezes their ponds. The white bark pine provides nuts to help fatten up grizzly bears and squirrels alike, as all the animals make preparations for another harsh winter season.

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.
