Canada: Surviving the Wild North

Journey from Canada’s Arctic to the boreal forest and discover how polar bears, coastal wolves, lynx and more survive in the North. Timing and seizing opportunity can mean the difference between life and death in this wild and rugged outpost.

Each small sandpiper must harvest up to 20,000 shrimp while simultaneously avoiding the fastest animal on earth: the peregrine falcon.

As thousands of belugas arrive, these two polar bears are eager to hunt. However, they have two very different strategies for hunting their prey.

The red-backed vole lives beneath the surface of the snow. But there’s one creature that can hear its every move: the great grey owl. And if the owl were not enough of a threat, another predator lurks within the vole's tunnels.
