Yellow-eyed Penguins
S1 E4 - 4m 15s
Yellow-eyed penguins care for their young together. Nesting in the dense New Zealand forest, the pair will take turns fishing so one parent is always watching over their chicks. But when the breeding season ends and the offspring leave, the partnership will dissolve – until the next mating season.
Sea Otters
S1 E4 - 3m 9s
For some life in the big Pacific, mating can be the kiss of death: Along the California coastline sea otters’ courtship is a wrestling match with no holds barred and females can be drowned in the process.
Grunions
S1 E4 - 3m 24s
A mass spawning event happens on an empty shoreline high in the Gulf of California: the grunion run. Thousands of silvery bodies flicker in the shallows in an explosion of life and death. No other fish spawns so boldly, in the open air, under blazing sun. This is a tidal wave of reproduction.
