00:06Yellowstone is heating up for battle, an explosion of energy, a test of power,
00:32a test of power, a test of power, a test of power, a test of power, a test of power,
00:34a test of power,
00:36Welcome to Yellowstone Summer.
00:54This should be the good times.
01:03But Summer here has a dark side that punches the unprepared and forces everyone to fight,
01:21to survive.
01:25It's Summer, and the game is on.
01:48High in the peaks of Yellowstone's supervolcano, predators are rising.
02:03Over 600 grizzly bears are advancing on Greater Yellowstone.
02:18This young male has been asleep for months, and he's hungry.
02:27It's a big summer, his first without mom, his first fending for himself.
02:39And winning a place at Yellowstone's table is not easy.
02:46During winter, cougars and wolves run the show.
02:54But power can shift when seasons change.
03:02His mom taught him, if you follow wolves, they lead you to food.
03:11It's one thing to follow, another to fight.
03:30He should easily dominate a couple wolves.
03:40But reinforcements are coming.
03:59The wolves keep control.
04:04But the bear will be back.
04:15First, he needs to build his strength.
04:19To do that, a bear needs food.
04:25There's always something to eat in Yellowstone.
04:30He just has to remember where to find it.
04:37What is that?
04:42Sounds like...
04:44Breakfast.
04:48Should be easy enough.
05:00Sniffing them out.
05:01Sniffing them out.
05:04It's harder than it sounds.
05:15But rodents are barely appetizers.
05:20Summer is short.
05:22He needs to fatten up fast.
05:27His life depends on it.
05:39By May, eight months of snow is poised to crash into the world below.
06:06Ready or not, summer is here.
06:18Yellowstone transforms with the melt.
06:33Rivers swell by 18 times.
06:39More than 3 million gallons a minute roars over Lower Yellowstone Falls.
07:10This much water makes waves.
07:23Downstream, a beaver dad takes his turn maintaining the lodge as his family has for generations.
07:33Inside, he and mom have three newborns.
07:39This pond is everything they have.
07:49But mom senses trouble.
07:56Millions of tons of water are roaring their way.
08:08The lodge is designed to withstand a flood.
08:12But everything has a breaking point.
08:20If the lodge collapses, the kids could die.
08:39The dam is breached.
08:49Their pond draining.
08:58But the lodge holds strong.
09:01The family survives.
09:07But without a pond, they won't live to see another site.
09:16All this water kick-starts an explosion of life.
09:35Summer is hard on the young.
09:40But they don't know that yet.
09:49Many of the animals born here will never turn one.
09:54It's up to their parents to keep them alive.
10:07For wolves, that means killing.
10:13This mom means business.
10:38The swollen river saves the elk's life.
10:43Now, she's cold, wet, and still hungry.
10:52In summer, even meadows become killing fields.
10:59The grizzly's mother brought him here when he was young.
11:04He's back because he remembers today's menu features his favorite dish.
11:18Baby elk.
11:20Available for a short time only.
11:25In three weeks, this young calf will be able to outrun the bears.
11:34Until then, his only chance...
11:39Hide.
11:46The bear knows something's here.
11:52The mother elk tries to draw him away.
11:57If the calf panics...
12:01It's all over.
12:07It's a lethal game...
12:10Of hide...
12:12And seek.
12:21The young elk must be perfectly still.
12:26It's a lethal...
12:41If you do not, the animal is any.
12:42It is based on his own animal...
12:42He is a good animal!
12:42I'm lucky to be on the every single one.
12:42He goes, I'm lucky to be on the other side.
12:56Young grizzly picks up a trail.
13:26Don't move a muscle.
13:48The bear misses because the young elk has almost no scent.
13:56Another failed opportunity.
14:07They'd better get moving, the bear will be back.
14:27This stream will hide their trail, the water is still high.
14:35Just one long step.
14:52The calf is gone.
14:59He survives a bear hunt.
15:03Yellowstone takes him anyway.
15:18Summer can be brutal and benevolent.
15:27A potent cocktail of water and sun triggers Yellowstone's bloom.
15:43Filled with nectar for a special guest from a thousand miles away.
15:54This hummingbird flies all the way from Mexico for Yellowstone's sweet nectar.
16:10Her extra long tongue can reach the riches of the back of the flower.
16:19Beating her wings 60 times a second uses up a lot of fuel.
16:24She drinks her body weight every day.
16:33So she'll fight for her flowers.
16:39A nectar thief.
16:42A nectar thief.
16:42He hates the
16:42percy縁.
17:09Back off.
17:16These are her flowers.
17:22At just a tenth of an ounce, she's one bad little bird.
17:37Yellowstone's bloom is a window of opportunity for many.
17:44This black bear is after fresh grass.
17:53Eat up while it's young.
17:55These greens are most tender for the first few weeks.
18:06While mom feeds, her cubs explore and play.
18:20Climbing will come with practice.
18:29Dinner time.
18:30The cubs fatten up quick.
18:44No 1% milk for these guys.
18:48Mom's milk is 25% fat.
18:59But something is coming.
19:11A hungry male black bear.
19:18Mom knows he will kill and eat her cubs.
19:26The tree is their emergency exit.
19:31But male bears can climb too.
19:40Mom has no choice.
19:44She must fight.
19:48The cubs climb for their lives.
19:54Their mother will risk hers to defend them.
20:02The male crosses a line.
20:09She responds with a mother's fury.
20:30He's much bigger.
20:33But she has much more to lose.
21:01Her cubs are safe.
21:05The big tree provides an easy escape.
21:11And they've got one tough mother.
21:19As the summer sun heats up, high waters recede.
21:26Once dangerous rivers now offer opportunity.
21:32Warm water flips a switch and cut through trout.
21:36It's time to spawn.
21:39Across Yellowstone, hundreds of thousands are on a voyage.
21:44Back to where they were born.
21:48This male has come 100 miles.
21:52This final leg.
21:55A steep climb higher into the mountains.
22:13At last.
22:15A warm, quiet place to spawn.
22:36Soon, the first female appears.
22:44She digs a space in the stream bed.
22:51And releases thousands of eggs.
23:07Which the male promptly fertilizes.
23:15After all this, the egg's journey begins with a massacre.
23:36But enough will make it.
23:42For the adults, some will do this again next year.
23:50If they can make it out alive.
23:57The river otter loves trout.
24:00The river otter.
24:01The river otter.
24:03The river otter.
24:04The river otter.
24:33One of the most calorie packed foods in all of Yellowstone.
24:40For this trout, the game is over.
24:53By late summer, the sun, so welcome months ago, bakes the land without mercy.
25:14Even boiling geyser basins begin to dry.
25:22Mud pools thicken.
25:33And explode.
25:48Yellowstone's relentless sun changes the game again.
25:52As the caldera heats up, so do the bison.
26:00Bull testosterone doubles.
26:04Their tempers flare.
26:07Yellowstone's behemoths are about to erupt.
26:17Oh, no, no.
26:40There are no inevitables.
26:53Now, the hot valley floor becomes the arena for the biggest fight of the summer.
27:11This one-ton bison bull has one thing on his mind.
27:21He's a stud in this herd and wants to keep it that way.
27:30His problem?
27:31There are too many ladies.
27:36With several females in estrus, he must defend multiple fronts, but it's not a harem.
27:46These females aren't his.
27:50When they're ready, they'll mate with any big male around.
27:55He needs to make sure that's him.
27:59There are dozens of love-blind males looking to score.
28:10The big male must scare them off.
28:22Some bulls don't get the message.
28:38Some bulls don't get the message.
29:05He easily bests most challengers.
29:10But his next fight is always waiting.
29:43Another victory.
29:46And another battle.
29:49He'll go multiple rounds every day, running a marathon between bouts.
30:03He'll do this every day for a month.
30:08The price of being number one.
30:32During his reign, he'll mate with several cows.
30:39The bulls don't get the bulls, but the rut will exhaust him.
30:48By the end, the big bull is broken.
30:56He hasn't eaten much in weeks and has lost 200 pounds.
31:11His heart gives out.
31:19He got what he wanted.
31:20His bloodline is secure, but he paid the ultimate price.
31:33His body won't go to waste.
31:48Across the park, the young grizzly is after a different meal.
31:55He's had a rough summer.
31:59And he's not nearly fat enough to survive the winter.
32:04His hunger drives him two miles high into the mountains,
32:07where his mother once showed him a hidden treasure.
32:26Hiding in the rocks, millions of juicy moths escape the heat.
32:33Each one is 70% fat.
32:36And he'll eat tens of thousands if he can.
32:41But his secret is out.
32:44Fights over food turn ugly quick.
32:53The desperate grizzly tries to put off the trespassing bears.
32:59But mother bears are hard to deter.
33:23Hungry, tired, and now beaten up by a girl.
33:28He's not welcome here.
33:31Another loss for the young bear.
33:36Nothing in Yellowstone is easy.
33:44It's been three months since the beaver pond was destroyed.
33:50Mom and dad have been working around the clock.
33:57It's dad's turn to work the night shifts.
34:04Evenings are a cool time to get stuff done.
34:14He's a beaver out of water.
34:16So he must work quickly.
34:19Dangerous things go bump in the night.
34:48He's in the night.
34:53Hmm. Coast is clear.
35:11Finally. But watch out.
35:23This tree has enough branches to finish the job.
35:36A few final touches.
35:44And the dam is complete.
35:47It's taken all summer, but the beaver's pond
35:50is finally full.
35:52Their masterpiece will help keep the family alive
35:57through winter.
36:07As summer fades and temperatures drop, urgency rises.
36:16Shorter days trigger the final big event of the summer.
36:23A dangerous battle of skills.
36:28Dozens of 700-pound elk stags have come out of the woodwork,
36:35ready to face off...
36:40with song.
36:46The prize, a harem.
36:52The female judges listen with a critical ear.
36:59Win their vote and they join your harem.
37:07The first contestant.
37:14Weak.
37:18Lesser males are easy to identify by their feeble songs.
37:25The big stag is up next.
37:31His song is stronger.
37:34Approving cows vote with their feet.
37:42And leave weaker males.
37:46The next contestant.
37:53He's just as strong.
37:56And steals several cows from the other stag.
38:08But no big bull worth his bugle willingly gives up his harem.
38:20Now, the two tenors face off.
38:26This voice competition is about to become a knife fight.
38:43The stag elk's antlers have grown half an inch a day for months.
38:50Just for this moment.
38:59An elk battle is as much about technique as brute force.
39:13The stag elk's antlers.
39:16The stag elk's antlers.
39:41Most fights only last seconds.
39:45But six minutes in, neither stag is giving up.
40:06The stag elk's antlers.
40:07Finally, the old man runs the challenger off and claims his harem.
40:16His legacy will carry down to thousands of descendants.
40:24In this final game of summer, winner takes all.
40:43The winter wind announces summer's last call.
40:54It's been a difficult season for the young bear.
40:58He needs a final meal.
41:06His mortal enemies have one.
41:11He was chased off a kill by this wolf pack at the start of summer.
41:16But he's stronger and wiser and ready to try again.
41:25When out of nowhere, a bigger bear beats him to it.
41:42The big male is aggressive.
41:48The wolves, relentless.
41:52Bravely, the young male moves in.
42:02The wolves force the big male out.
42:07The young bear tries a surprising tactic.
42:12Stay calm.
42:16Steady.
42:21It's cool.
42:38By coming in peace, he secures himself a big meal.
42:44He's learned a lot this summer, and he's finally ready for winter.
42:56All bears must make the most of summer.
43:03Soon, there will be nothing left for them down here.
43:09And then, it will be time to den.
43:31The young male climbs high into the mountains to a steep north slope.
43:39In just hours, summer will be a memory.
43:46Covered for months by 30 feet of snow.
43:56On the other side, Yellowstone summer will be waiting.
44:02The city council will fail to go into the laden.
