Antarctic Fur Seals vs. Leopard Seals
S1 E4 - 7m 20s
Leopard seals are the only seals that prey on other seal species although fur seals have rarely been on the menu before. These leopard seals should be living in sea ice, hunting other ice-dwelling seals but they have switched to a new food source.
Buffalo Harvest and Release
S1 E4 - 5m 23s
For the Blackfeet Tribe, bringing back buffalo will revitalize the landscape, making it more resistant to climate change.
Finding Methane Bubbles in Permafrost
S1 E4 - 2m 40s
The ground is made up of both ice and frozen soil called permafrost. As the permafrost thaws, the ground sinks and floods. The ice traps gases bubbling up from the decomposing permafrost. Methane traps 30 times more heat in the atmosphere than C02. As the world gets hotter, the permafrost melts faster – releasing ever-greater quantities of this dangerous greenhouse gas.
