Ironically, the powerful, dedicated canines profiled in Sled Dogs: An Alaskan Epic are little more than mutts. They are mixed-breed huskies that have endurance. Human lives have been influenced by animals in matters that reach far beyond the food chain.
In surprising ways, animals help teach, heal, and strengthen people -- in body, mind, and spirit. Birds may have a reputation for being less than geniuses, but researchers are discovering that some are remarkably smart. Some birds have the capacity to recognize, count, or name different objects.
The birds use long, specially chosen twigs to spear the plump grubs that hide deep beneath the bark of rotting logs. Spanning the Pacific from the inlets of the Alaskan coast to the Polynesian Islands and the shores of Antarctica, Humpback Whales presents a multi-faceted portrait of this fascinating mammal. This program follows the humpbacks closely and uncovers revealing details that add to the growing knowledge of these creatures.
Happiness, sadness, anger, fear, love, hate — emotions play a pivotal role in our lives. As you read this, you are probably aware of reading this. But do animals share this kind of consciousness?
The program ponders just what consciousness is — and which animals might share this trait with people. It follows six gangly young cheetahs as they come of age in the desert wilderness of Etosha National Park, where they learn the essential hunting and social skills that will enable them to rear families of their own.
But the documentary also captures the sobering challenges that other cheetahs face on nearby livestock ranches, where farmers routinely trap and kill the cats to reduce attacks on their herds. And the NATURE special profiles the courageous work of cheetah rescuer Lise Hanssen, who is creating alternatives to the deadly rivalry between rancher and predator.
It follows an month old cub named Toughie as she spends her last few months with her mother, learning to pluck salmon from the fierce current, eat nutritious marsh grasses and, most importantly, how to behave around other bears.

No flowering plant has captured the attention of humans, or stirred their passions, in quite the way that orchids have. Many animals have a special ability to transform themselves, for the sake of survival, reproduction, or both. According to legend, Spanish explorers believed that a fountain of eternal youth bubbled up to the surface somewhere in the place we know today as Florida.
In a poetic way, they were right. Julia Roberts, one of the most famous and beautiful American actresses of today, lives among the nomads of Mongolia and discovers their relationship with the horse. A new age of ocean exploration is lifting the veil of mystery shrouding a creature of legend -- the octopus.
Industrialization all over Asia has hurt the mahouts, or elephant drivers, so that the trained elephants and their riders are being driven into major cities such as Bangkok to earn a meager living receiving donations and food from curious tourists.
Life on the savannah of southern Tanzania is a study in contrast between rainy and dry seasons. When water is abundant, the wildebeest at the rivers provide food for the lion population, while the buffalo graze contentedly on the succulent grasses in the hills. The two great adversaries -- lion and buffalo -- can keep their distance. Each October, the remote Canadian town of Churchill in Manitoba plays host to some very unusual guests.
More than a thousand hungry polar bears gather there to await the refreezing of Hudson Bay and then move out on the ice in pursuit of their traditional winter diet of seal. The world's largest land carnivore, polar bears can be very dangerous for humans as well as sea creatures -- but for tiny Churchill, they also are a tourist-dollar bonanza. And it profiles the winners and losers in this epic evolutionary contest — from the massive dinosaurs who disappeared long ago to the humble bacteria that have survived for billions of years virtually unchanged.
Gene Swapping Variety is indeed the spice of life. It takes a passionate look at the evolution of sex, which allows a species to pass its genes along from generation to generation. As predators became better hunters, their prey also evolved better defenses. Life may be a contest in which only the fittest individuals survive, but cooperation has also played a key role in evolution.
In fact, teamwork occurs everywhere, from flocks of birds and herds of wildebeest to colonies of ants and termites. Hearts, eyes, flippers and wings — evolution has forged many remarkable body structures.
But none is more amazing than the brain, that bundle of nerve cells that allows us to sense our surroundings, sort out information, and make decisions. This sixth installment focuses on the mass extinctions that have occurred over time. Though attention is paid to the factors that probably led to the demise of the dinosaurs, far more time is devoted to examining a wide variety of land and sea creatures that are continuing to fight off extinction. Climate changes, the birth of more highly evolved life forms, and changes in ocean currents are just a few of the factors that can play a major role in determining which species will prevail.
Scientists and historians share their thoughts about which of today's species are most likely to remain triumphant over the coming millennia. Who can resist the magnetic allure of a baby? The presence of little ones of any species invariably generates instant attention and concern from onlookers. In fact, it seems that both humans and animals are hard-wired to find youngsters adorable. The practical and essential reasons why the very young have an ability to play on our heart strings are explored in Baby Tales.
