Episode 1
Surviving winter can be tough for the wildlife of Yellowstone, and will this year’s weather favor predator or prey? Will the grizzlies that emerge early survive, and why are the wolves and Great Gray Owls in danger of starvation? Plus find out how Yellowstone’s unique geology affects the mighty bison.
Previews + Extras
Grizzly Bear Jackpot
S1 E1 - 2m 55s
Towards the end of winter, a male grizzly emerges out of hibernation in Greater Yellowstone. But he’s come out early, and as he braves the blizzards and ventures down the mountain, will he find enough food to survive?
Biscuit Root and Bear Hugs
S1 E1 - 2m 58s
Grizzlies eat a huge range of food, from carcasses to moths and many different plants - and lots of it. Biscuit root is a bear’s favorite snack as each one emerges from hibernation, and Kirk and Casey set out on the mountain to find and taste it. Plus, a camera trap reveals how large a grizzly bear hug really is, and what other creatures are around in the forest.
