02:00Tonight, on The Americas.
02:07The Atlantic Coast.
02:13A world of wonder.
02:22Where enchanted seas meet fairy-tale forests.
02:30And life finds a home amongst the bright lights of a new world.
02:42Although over a hundred million people live on America's east coast.
02:49This is also where you find 200,000 square miles of historic forest.
02:59And where the Carolinas' vast coastal plains slip beneath the waves.
03:08Re-emerging as the ever-shifting sands of the outer banks.
03:17These islands are home to surprising castaways.
03:28Wild horses.
03:32They live a perilous life.
03:35Braving tides.
03:37And strong currents.
03:43Legend has it.
03:45Their ancestors were marooned here.
03:48When the ships of conquistadors were wrecked on these shores.
03:59But one stallion is doing very well here.
04:09He rules this part of the island.
04:11Carpeted in lush meadows.
04:17And at its heart.
04:19Lies the key to his success.
04:24A fresh water spring.
04:35Controlling this vital supply.
04:39Gives him power.
04:44For a decade.
04:46He's defended the well and his family.
04:50From other stallions.
04:54He bears the scars.
04:56To prove it.
05:00But at 15 years old.
05:03The stallion may be past his prime.
05:10Losing one big fight.
05:13Could be the end of his reign.
05:24That fight looks to be on the cards.
05:31Because it's breeding season.
05:35He can smell that one of his mares is ready to mate.
05:43To heighten his senses.
05:45To heighten his senses.
05:46He curls his lips.
05:47In what's known as the flaming response.
05:51But other stallions.
05:53Have noticed too.
06:00Including his arch-rival.
06:16This intruder may have dainty white feet.
06:20But he's 500 pounds of testosterone-fueled attitude.
06:33The aging stallion must rise to the challenge.
06:38Like prize fighters.
06:41They size each other up.
06:44Stamping.
06:47And posturing.
06:53The intruder is younger.
06:55And bigger.
06:57But the wily old stallion has years of combat experience.
07:04A stamp of his foot says.
07:07Bring it on.
07:33The old stallion skillfully dodges flying hooves.
07:46He takes one ferocious kick to the chest.
07:50But rears up to avoid the knockout blow.
07:59That was the challenger's best shot.
08:04And it wasn't enough.
08:08The stallion runs the intruder off his land.
08:24The victory for the veteran means he can stay with his family.
08:32And his place on these unique islands is secure.
08:38For now.
08:47But here, danger is never far away.
08:54Out to sea.
08:56Atlantic waters are deadly.
09:01Both above.
09:04And below.
09:12In the waters just off the coast of North Carolina.
09:17This sand tiger is heading to a shark rendezvous.
09:2910 feet long, with teeth to die for.
09:32This female certainly looks the part.
09:42But she is about to reveal a very different side to her nature.
09:53Sand tiger sharks are surprisingly sociable.
10:08Every summer, hundreds assemble here.
10:15But the purpose of these extraordinary gatherings is still a mystery to scientists.
10:30They happen in a place of eerie beauty.
10:34Known as the graveyard of the Atlantic.
10:42More than 2,000 ships have met their end on this coastline.
10:48From Spanish galleons and pirate ships to merchant vessels sunk in World War II.
10:55These rusting hulks create new habitats, swiftly colonized by many creatures.
11:05Including vast shoals of scad.
11:19But these little fish have a big problem.
11:25They're on the menu.
11:31For jacks, 30-pound, high-speed hunters.
11:39And not just one of them.
11:53The scad must seek safety.
12:01And they find it somewhere extraordinary.
12:11With the sharks.
12:23The scad use the sand tigers as bodyguards.
12:34Each shark finds itself cloaked in a shimmering veil of tiny scad.
13:07It's a remarkable relationship.
13:26A hidden wonder where the human world and the natural world meet.
13:34A hidden wonder where the human world and the natural world meet.
13:38journey 200 miles up the Atlantic coast.
13:43And you'll discover the largest estuary in the U.S.
13:50Where 150 rivers meet the sea.
13:57It's here.
13:59And you'll discover that this true American icon is forced to meet its greatest challenge head on.
14:14Winding through Maryland and Virginia.
14:18The streams and rivers that feed Chesapeake Bay are a haven for wildlife.
14:32But they are also among North America's busiest waterways.
14:39To thrive here takes a particular kind of attitude.
14:47A bald eagle.
14:50The Atlantic coast's great success story.
14:58In the 1970s, there were no eagles on this stretch of river.
15:04But thanks to protection and the banning of harmful pesticides,
15:09now there are more than 300 breeding pairs.
15:18Their numbers are soaring.
15:29With a seven-foot wingspan and eyesight five times better than ours,
15:38This female looks the perfect predator.
15:44But for a bird that likes to hunt fish, she has one major flaw.
15:52She's not built to take off from water.
16:02For all her power, fishing is not easy.
16:13Missed again.
16:20For most of the year, she can do well enough.
16:25But in the spring, everything changes.
16:39In March, each year, 20,000 ospreys arrive.
16:42Birds of prey supremely adapted to just one thing.
16:47Fishing.
17:03In March, each year, 20,000 ospreys arrive.
17:13They stay for the summer to raise their chicks.
17:20Now, they're in the eagles' territory.
17:26Ospreys can hit the water at 70 miles an hour.
17:32Their long legs stretch down to grab fish three feet below the surface.
17:39Equipped with waterproof feathers, takeoff is no problem for them.
17:54They're taking a lot of her fish.
18:07Outclassed on home turf?
18:15It's time to impose a fish tax.
18:28Bald eagles have some powers that ospreys can't match.
18:48And sheer strength.
18:52And sheer strength.
19:13Daylight robbery.
19:20A quick barrel roll.
19:26And it's time for her to collect.
19:37North America's comeback queen.
19:46Flourishing on this most crowded coast.
19:55Almost a third of Americans make the Atlantic coast home.
20:01The towns and cities we build have been the biggest force of change here.
20:09where animals can sometimes find themselves in an alien world.
20:18But here in the suburbs,
20:22there are aliens living among us.
20:29This peaceful corner of Maryland is about to be invaded.
20:43On a sleepy Maryland street,
20:46something is stirring.
21:03And it is not alone.
21:08This male and thousands of others have spent 17 years deep underground.
21:17They are called periodical cicadas.
21:22They are called periodical cicadas.
21:23And each is on a critical mission to secure the next generation.
21:29But things here have changed.
21:3517 years earlier, George W. Bush was in the White House.
21:44And many suburban developments were still plots of woodland.
21:55Instinct drives the swarm to climb.
22:02Many fall at the first hurdle.
22:08But this male has found a good spot.
22:17A tall tree.
22:24The ideal place to make a dramatic transformation.
22:53Breaking free from the husk of his old body,
22:58he unfurls new wings.
23:02A tall tree.
23:04A tall tree.
23:04A tall tree.
23:05A tall tree.
23:05And his adult form is revealed.
23:11Around him, the others change, too.
23:18Ahead of the next stage of the mission.
23:30It might seem a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
23:38But the human residents wake to an audio onslaught.
23:45The volume can exceed 96 decibels.
23:49It's like a rock concert in your front yard.
23:52With cicadas on vocals.
23:59But for the cicadas, this isn't a horror story.
24:03But for the cicadas, this isn't a horror story.
24:07It's a romance.
24:09And the language of love is music, bug style.
24:22With many males for every female, it isn't straightforward.
24:30And perhaps three's a crowd.
24:37Maybe she's the one.
24:43It's time for a cicada serenade.
24:52Vibrating his body like a tiny violin.
24:56He waits for a special signal from her.
25:01And there it is.
25:03A snap of her wings.
25:05That shows his charms have won her over.
25:17After 17 years of waiting,
25:21a brief encounter is all it takes to fertilize her 500 eggs.
25:35For the males, adult life is very short.
25:46After just a month, it's all over.
25:51Now their bodies will nourish the soil
25:54for the next generation.
25:59While above,
26:02the female lays her precious eggs.
26:09A few weeks later,
26:11the young will drop to the ground
26:12and burrow deep into the earth.
26:16When they emerge,
26:18in 17 years' time,
26:21who knows what they'll find?
26:32To keep up with the pace of the modern world,
26:36animals have to be versatile.
26:39Meet one of the most adaptable
26:42in all the Americas.
26:47She can think
26:48and feel her way
26:50through any challenge.
26:56Getting a drink
26:57out of a water-filled tree hole?
26:59No problem.
27:02But she'll need
27:04all her wits about her.
27:07Because this raccoon
27:09doesn't live
27:10in the woods.
27:15She's a New Yorker.
27:24New York City.
27:32Home
27:32to 8 million people.
27:38But even here,
27:40the wildlife
27:41finds a way.
27:44Making the most
27:45of 20,000 acres
27:47of parks
27:48and gardens
27:48is one
27:50of the cleverest animals
27:52in the Americas.
28:04A raccoon.
28:06Country raccoons
28:08are nocturnal.
28:09But here,
28:10they emerge
28:11in the daytime
28:12as well.
28:14So,
28:15they must be wary
28:16of people,
28:18dogs,
28:19and cars.
28:21be kind of
28:22street smart.
28:30This female
28:31needs to take
28:32extra care.
28:34She's a mom.
28:37The wall
28:37provides high-rise living
28:39for her growing family.
28:45These kits
28:46are four months old.
28:49And they share
28:50their home
28:51with an older brother.
28:54He's getting ready
28:55to leave home
28:56for good.
28:59But raccoons
29:00aren't the only ones
29:01with a taste
29:02for city living.
29:10A red-tailed hawk.
29:12And it has
29:13its sights set
29:15on the kits.
29:25Mom
29:26is alert
29:27to any sign
29:28of trouble.
29:44Come on.
29:45Come on.
29:45Back inside.
29:51With that hawk
29:52nearby,
29:54she needs
29:55to stick around.
29:59There may be
30:01safety in numbers,
30:02but this is becoming
30:04a tight squeeze.
30:07And something's
30:08gotta give.
30:12But it's best
30:14to wait
30:14for nightfall.
30:18This city
30:19may never sleep.
30:24But luckily,
30:26hawks do.
30:32It's a chance
30:33for the eldest kid
30:35to bid farewell
30:36to the family.
30:56As mom
30:57watches him go,
31:01he's tentative
31:02at first.
31:08he's on his own
31:09now.
31:10She must stay
31:11with her younger kids.
31:22But soon,
31:23he's free-sullowing
31:24with ease.
31:32His super-sensitive paws
31:34help him find
31:35the safest footholds.
31:53and they're not bad
31:55for shucking snails,
31:57either.
32:06But alone
32:07on the parapet,
32:09he needs
32:10to keep
32:10on his toes.
32:20Yeah.
32:21nice move.
32:30He seems ready
32:31to face the city
32:32on his own.
32:39In fact,
32:40there's evidence
32:41that an urban upbringing
32:42makes raccoons better
32:44at problem-solving.
32:54is going to be
32:56just fine.
32:57He's going to be just fine.
33:17away from the magical bright lights
33:20in New York
33:22is a different fairy tale world.
33:31deep in the Appalachian woods
33:34for a few bewitching
33:37summer nights.
33:42Fireflies
33:43take the stage.
33:47Males flash
33:49to attract females.
33:53The chemical light
33:55they produce
33:56is one of the most
33:58energy-efficient
33:59on Earth.
34:02For the fireflies,
34:05flashing in synchrony
34:07increases their impact.
34:11For us,
34:12it's pure wonder.

35:42The huge range of trees and plants provides a varied menu for this mother bear and her six-month-old
35:51cubs.
35:53With winter just a few months away, they need to pile on the pounds, and there's one food that will
36:01help them get there.
36:10They're high in fats and protein, so it's crucial the cubs make the most of them.
36:18But someone beat them to it, a trespasser, an adult male.
36:26And what's worse, males sometimes kill cubs.
36:43He's no match for a protective mom.
37:07Now the family can focus on getting those cherries.
37:18The tasty fruits are not easy to reach, especially if you're a cub.
37:28Mom's gotta work around.
37:37Her cubs, though, don't yet have the strength.
37:42Or the skill.
37:57But they do appear to be fearless.
38:04Hmm.
38:06This is going out on a limb.
38:10At just 30 pounds, the cubs are light enough to climb to the ends of branches.
38:18But a fall from this height could be fatal.
38:26They've got the hang of it.
38:30And these calorie-packed cherries will help the cubs to gain the weight they'll need to survive the coming winter.
38:42The Smokies are a magical place.
38:46And as America's most visited national park, they bring that magic to millions.
38:58Heading north, the ancient Appalachians formed the backbone of the Atlantic coast.
39:07Eventually, their weathered peaks reached New England.
39:12200 years ago, the woods here were cleared for agriculture.
39:18But when many farmers headed west, the forest made a spectacular return.
39:27And now there are six and a half billion trees.
39:34In the heart of Massachusetts stands a queen of the woods.
39:39A red oak tree known here as triple oak.
39:53She has weathered 130 years of change.
39:59Right now, she faces the inevitable turn of the seasons.
40:07Throughout the long days of summer, her leaves captured the sun's energy.
40:15Using green chlorophyll to produce the sugar she needs to thrive and grow.
40:21And the oxygen we need to breathe.
40:30But winter is coming.
40:35Shorter days mean there won't be enough sunlight to power her leaves.
40:40So triple oak must do something remarkable.
40:47She withdraws her chlorophyll.
40:52As the green pigment is extracted, all the other colors are revealed.
41:06For a few short weeks, triple oak wears a gown of burnished gold.
41:16But her work isn't finished.
41:20In winter storms, a tree in full leaf catches the wind like a ship in full sail.
41:25She could be uprooted.
41:27So her leaves must go.
41:32Triple oak creates a layer of cells that seal the leaf off from its twig.
41:40Denied the tree's life support, the leaf dies.
41:49And is cast aside.
41:53Triple oak then heals the scar.
41:59A process she repeats 200,000 times.
42:10Across New England, countless oaks, maples, beech, and birch all follow suit.
42:24A spectacle so vast, it can be seen from space.
42:32New England, in the fall, is one of planet Earth's greatest natural wonders.
42:42And it happens on our very own doorstep.
42:49On America's spellbinding Atlantic Coast.
