S01:E103 - The Eyes Have It
The many unique ways of looking at the world need different designs. Did you ever wonder why a predator's eyes are right in the front of its head, while its prey's eyes are on either side? How can an Insect have as many as 30,000 separate eyes? How do a Frog's eyes help it swallow? Why are some animals color-blind? Come along as we look at how Nature has given each species its own unique way of looking at the world.
S01:E104 - Family Feud
Animal arguments often erupt over food, territory, or a mate. Is there a peaceable kingdom? Not really. Wild animals have "sibling rivalries" just like humans. Ironically, related species compete more frequently, and more intensely, than do non-related species. These family conflicts can be fatal when it comes to the crucial concerns of food, territory, or affection... and it's not always the larger or more powerful "cousin" which wins the competition!

Adaptable alpine animals endure mountain heights and hardships. Alpine animals are truly the kings of survival. In order to survive in a severe and unpredictable habitat, all have adapted in special ways. A revealing time-lapse shows the development of Golden Eagle chicks. Also presented are the four Wild Sheep - the Dall, Stone, Mountain and Desert Bighorn - as they fight their everyday battle to endure and perform their ancient rituals of courtship.
S01:E106 - Season of the Seals
The Seals and Sea Lions come ashore once a year to battle and breed.

To best utilize their time gathered on land, both events occur together. January to July is the season when enormous Elephant Seals clash in battle, graceful California Sea Lions frolic, and baby Harbor Seals learn to dare the waves.

S01:E108 - Some Feet Have Noses
Nature has designed an amazingly wide array of fascinating feet. Did you know that feet do much more than just move animals from place to place? They are fascinating in their wide diversity.
