0:04
The size of a ping-pong ball,
0:08
the desert rain frog.
0:14
To avoid frying to a crisp,
0:17
by day, this amphibian hides deep in the
0:20
sand.
0:25
But when the conditions are just right,
0:28
he emerges to feed.
0:42
Charging up to 50 yards,
0:48
he calmly noses around for insects.
0:59
While in the Namaqua dwarf adder,
1:09
primes itself for ambush.
1:21
This tiny snake can only strike prey
1:24
closer than 4 inches.
1:39
A Parabuthus scorpion
1:41
>> [music]
1:41
>> uses hair-like feelers to detect the
1:44
tiniest movement.
1:51
And frogs are also on his menu.
1:59
>> [music]
2:13
>> The frog mustn't stir
2:17
or he'll trigger a deadly attack from
2:19
that stinging tail.
2:31
But waiting is what he's good at.
2:52
At last,
2:54
a colony of termites
2:57
busily harvesting dune grass.
3:14
They're packed with protein and fat.
3:22
He'll force down up to 100 in a sitting.
3:32
She enters
3:34
into the maze of gullies.
3:39
The damp channel margins are carpeted
3:42
with grass
3:44
that lures in grazing antelope.
3:57
>> [snorts]
4:01
>> Still, they remain on high alert.
4:11
Stealth is the best weapon.
4:50
Placing faith in perfect camouflage,
4:58
the trap is set.
5:10
Just a few more careless steps
5:13
and they'll be inside the required 30-ft
5:17
range.
5:46
Clamping her jaws over both nose and
5:49
mouth,
5:51
she can stay clear of those stiletto
5:53
horns
5:55
and cut off its air flow.
6:11
But a spotted hyena
6:13
is drawn to the commotion.
6:32
Close to twice the weight of a leopard,
6:38
armed with bone-crushing jaws,
6:42
this opportunist won't pass up the
6:44
chance to cash in on the hard work of
6:47
others.
6:58
This time,
6:59
one very [music] lucky impala
7:02
gets [snorts] a second chance at life.
7:08
The chase
7:10
is on
7:12
against a shoal of jacks,
7:15
too fast for a lone sea lion to catch.
7:25
Using the cove as a trap,
7:31
they run the fish aground.
7:38
In the shallows,
7:40
the pelicans are the first to cash in.
7:46
Able to squeeze up to 10 fish in their
7:49
expandable throats.
7:54
But the female led fleet regroups.
8:19
With all exits blocked.
8:25
This time the panicked prey
8:27
are driven right onto the beach.
8:43
A successful hunt yields up to 30 fish
8:46
for each sea lion.
8:54
This remarkable technique is unique to
8:57
Galapagos.
9:01
Filmed here
9:02
for the very first time.
9:22
Up to 15 roundups later
9:31
everyone gets their fill.
9:35
Unfortunately for this young mother and
9:38
cub,
9:44
all the prime fishing spots are taken
9:50
by the older, more experienced females.
10:03
So, she leads her cub upstream,
10:05
away from the competition.
10:26
>> [music]
10:30
>> But, there's a reason they have this
10:31
place to themselves.
10:36
Rapids.
10:58
For the cub, it's a brutal baptism.
11:10
But, the inexperienced mother coaxes him
11:12
straight back in.
11:48
>> Her desperation to feed overrides her
11:52
urge to protect her cub.
12:00
But fortune favors the brave.
12:37
Finally, the ravenous cub gets a first
12:41
taste of salmon.
12:51
Cutting off the food supply
12:58
and imprisoning
13:00
the fledglings.
13:07
Only adults [music] have the strength to
13:09
break their bonds
13:14
and make good their escape.
13:31
>> Even as the lake begins to thaw,
13:37
shackles of salt and ice
13:41
continue to weigh the chicks down.
13:52
And with every day
13:55
deeper into winter,
14:02
cold and lack of food
14:05
take a toll.
14:14
But a breath of seasonal wind
14:17
offers hope.
14:35
Gaining strength,
14:38
it provides just enough lift
14:43
for a last chance at liberty.
15:03
>> [music]
15:09
>> Trading their rich nursery feeding
15:11
grounds
15:16
for the southern lowlands,
15:19
they'll find refuge from the grip of
15:22
winter.
15:28
