No one has ever found a bowhead whale that died of old age. Biologists share their new research techniques as they confirm that bowhead’s may live longer than 200 years. We also join Alaskan Inupiat on a traditional hunt to discover new insights about the planet's eldest statesman
This is the story of studying Mars on Earth at Devon Island, the largest uninhabited island in the world located 500 kilometres southwest of the Magnetic North Pole. Devon Island is an analogue to Mars which has made it extremely interesting to NASA. Mars on Earth follows the largest scientific mission on Earth known as the NASA/Haughton-Mars Project. With exclusive access, we follow Dr. Pascal Lee and his team of 60 scientists in their exploration of Mars on Earth.
Three teams, one goal: create a nutritious three-course meal using only wild foods found in the woods. At the end of the show, the three teams gather at a northern resort where they prepare and enjoy their wild meal outside. Eating Wild is ‘Survivor’ meets ‘Emerald’. Who knew nature tasted so good?
The North American west was once a wild horse dominion. In fact, as late as the 19th century, huge herds roamed the prairies alongside the buffalo. Today, only a few hundred remain wild. In captivity they literally will themselves to die. We photograph that rare sight of a wild mustang running free.
The sea otter's deft aquatic acrobatics are truly befitting of nature's prima ballerina. After a century of extinction on Canada’s remote West Coast, the sea otter’s re-introduction into the wild has forced it to share the stage with another specie that dances to a different tune.
Bear CSI takes two bear experts back to the crime scene of four bear attacks to investigate what went wrong. Blending expert interviews, stock footage, reenactments and special effects with a forensic science approach, Bear CSI unravels the mystery of bear attacks and teaches new lessons of a fearsome animal.
Three of the world's leading experts share their intimate understanding of wolf behavior. John and Mary Theberge and Michael Runtz have spent a lifetime studying wolves and in particular, wolf language. Against the magnificent natural backdrop of one of the world’s greatest parks, we learn the nuances of wolf language and, in turn, perhaps better understand what they might be

In Canada, more people are killed or injured in vehicular collisions with moose than by all other wildlife species combined. In Newfoundland, where moose densities are the highest in the world, there's proof that it is indeed Canada's most dangerous animal.
From the high Arctic, to the Columbia ice fields, from the Yukon's Mount Logan, to the Pacific coast, the glaciers of Canada are the planet's most diverse frozen repository of secrets, telling the tale of our past, present and future in magnificent detail.
In the towering rain forests along the northern shores of the Pacific, scientists recently discovered a new subspecies of the gray wolf. Unlike its genetic kin anywhere else in the world, this wolf swims, fishes for salmon and roams great distances from island to inlet across both water and rough terrain. Secrets of the Coast Wolf blends modern science and traditional knowledge to create a fascinating portrait of a unique wolf subspecies and the pristine, fragile world they inhabit.
