Grizzly Few animals can match the intelligence, power or resourcefulness of the North American Bear or "grizzly". This film reveals the more intimate side to the grizzly - how mothers raise and teach their cubs, the playfulness and hardships of adolescence and the rituals of courtship. Most surprising of all is that every grizzly is its own character in looks, temperament and skills.

Dian Fossey spent 19 years studying the rare mountain gorillas of Africa. Heroine of the feature film GORILLAS IN THE MIST, her real life read like a Hollywood movie script with an intense romance and a consuming passion for saving the gorillas, ending in a brutal, mysterious murder. "Neither destiny nor fate took me to Africa," wrote Fossey from her camp in Rwanda. "I had a deep wish to see and live with wild animals in a world that hadn't yet been completely changed by humans." Uncompromising and determined, Fossey achieved much more by putting the plight of the mountain gorillas of Rwanda on the map, thereby insuring their survival for generations to come.

Orangutan in Asia
Humpback Whale Few sounds are more beautiful or moving than the underwater songs of the humpback whale. Male whales compete with their songs, which often last for 10 minutes at a time, and can be repeated for hours on end. Whales separated by thousands of miles of sea will sing almost identical songs. Researchers have found that the songs change throughout the breeding months, following a mysterious pattern repeated across the waves. Whales also use sound to hunt. To catch herring, humpback whales release a stream of bubbles to form a shimmering, circular fishing net. Emitting a repetitive loud scream, they scare the fish into a tight ball, then lunge out of the water to swallow the shoal whole. Now it seems that the long-held image of the gentle giant must change to one of a ferocious and opportunistic hunter.
