00:03Granite cliffs conceal pristine shores.
00:11Coastal redwoods echo rich undersea forests.
00:19This majestic slice of California remains a frontier.
00:28It may be the greatest meeting of land and sea on Earth.
00:38But its beauty is savage.
00:48Ruthless waves hide endless battles.
00:56Gentle meadows spawn tawny predators.
01:06The most sublime sunsets are born from fire.
01:15Survival requires sacrifice.
01:19Life and death share the heartbeat of Big Sur.
01:45Carved between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Big South beckons.
01:57Its magic stretches just 145 kilometers long and 32 kilometers wide.
02:07The San Andreas Fort creates natural obstacles to civilization.
02:22Big Sur is flanked by the Santa Lucia Mountains.
02:30And the Pacific Ocean.
02:43Just offshore is the largest submarine canyon in North America.
02:52Sea otters are the protectors of this undersea mecca.
03:01Otters avoid land, but the rocky coast is mobbed with up to five species of seals and sea lions.
03:13Three kilometers inland, coastal redwoods hide cougars.
03:21And newly hatched condor chicks.
03:29East of the sequoias, Big Sur stretches into meadows and oak woodlands.
03:47Each unique address could be a postcard.
03:54But Big Sur's lifeblood is turbulent.
04:05Dramas unfold in every niche.
04:17The coastline is at center stage.
04:34The stars are Big Sur's iconic sea otters.
04:42The stars are Big Sur's iconic sea otters.
04:57The stars are Big Sur.
04:57Each of us buch a house.

05:19These champion surfers belong to the weasel family.
05:31This pup is still too buoyant to dive for food.
05:48His mother blows air into his fur that renders him unsinkable.
06:03He is helpless until she returns.
06:32Fortunately, his cry is a unique beacon for his location.
07:10For now, this pup is secure.
07:20When his mother mates again,
07:22he'll be on his own.
07:35All male colonies of sea lions give personal space new meaning.
08:12The shy harbor seals choose sheltered coves to give birth.
08:23Food for nursing mothers is always close by.
08:36Newborns have only weeks before they must compete for the ocean's banquet.
09:02Such bounty is a magnet for many species.
09:22The beaches of Big Sur attract transients too.
09:35Cougars have the largest range of any mammal in the Western Hemisphere besides man.
09:46This opportunistic cat looks for an unlucky bird or a gift from the sea.
09:57Beyond the surf is an underwater jungle.
10:30M
10:32Giant kelp supports a dynamic chili theater.
10:42Each marine tree might grow up to 30 centimeters per day.
10:51Sea urchins prey upon the kelp itself.
11:00Tooth-like plates surround an urchin's mouth on the bottom of its shell.
11:09Urchins attack the stalk, eating through the stem.
11:16These starfish relatives can destroy entire kelp forests.
11:26But even the sharpest urchin spines are poor defense against rock-wielding otters.
11:48In Big Sur, sea otters keep urchin numbers at bay, which allows underwater forests to flourish.
12:13Their influence on the ecosystem earns them the title of keystone species.
12:33Big Sur attracts many unique creatures.
12:42California condors rely on an aerial view.
13:00Until recently, only a handful of these Pleistocene relics were still alive on Earth.
13:07Big Sur now boasts about 80 of the huge scavengers.
13:21Every adult bird wears a number and a GPS device so that scientists can monitor their lives.
13:35Condors mate for life, but they don't build nests.
13:45The same ledge or hole is used every two years for a single egg.
14:02This is some of the first footage captured inside Wild Nest.
14:10The camera was placed by biologists who hope to discover which condors make good parrots and why.
14:26But while condors are devoted to their families, they largely depend upon humans for their food.
14:47The species will never fully recover unless they learn to find their own.
14:59The new chick has many challenges ahead.
15:15As days pass, the sun burns through mist and fog.
15:26It seems tranquil.
15:34But serenity in Big Sur is an illusion.
15:52Big Sur's beauty cloaks the harsh demands of survival.
16:01Some creatures use weapons.
16:04Some creatures use weapons.
16:06Others issue warnings.
16:18All must ensure their future by mastering the region's natural cycles.
16:33The collision of the sea's cool temperature and warmer land creates condensation.
16:44A blanket of fog often shrouds the coast.
16:49A blanket of fog often shrouds the coast.
16:50The mist of the mist.
17:06When the mist reaches the interior, it's the key to life for the tallest living things on Earth.
17:18Coastal redwoods are a separate species and less massive than inland trees.
17:37Big Sur's redwoods harvest thousands of gallons of water every foggy morning.
17:59These enchanted forests protect creatures that need wet conditions.
18:11Banana slugs graze the forest floor.
18:19They help the redwoods by eating small plants that might compete for water.
18:29The slugs have a defense strategy in lieu of a shell.
18:35Their slime contains chemicals that taste terrible.
18:47The top predator here has no interest in banana slugs.
19:04Cougars are the largest cats that purr.
19:10And they can leap over a bus.
19:13And they can leap over a bus.
19:14The long way.
19:19They are solitary.
19:21And like the privacy found in redwood glens.
19:32The lion in redwood glens.
19:33The lion in redwood glens.
19:37The lion in redwood glens.
19:40A lion in redwood glens.
19:54Then the lion in redwood.
19:54The trees can only offer sanctuary if they're intact.
20:04Forest fires are a threat.
20:39This tree was almost destroyed.
20:47The condor nest inside survived only through efforts by scientists.
21:03In six months, the chick may fly, but he'll stay with the family for another 18 months.
21:18His parents must leave their tree to search for food.
21:26Ventana Wildlife Society puts out meat at feeding sites.
21:50Unfortunately, California condors need a wider variety of food.
22:02In the prehistoric past, coastal condors thrived by eating dead marine mammals.
22:13For over a century, whaling and hunting meant fewer carcasses washed ashore here.
22:22Now seals and whales are abundant again.
22:27Scientists hope the condors can catch up.
22:45The entire eastern Pacific gray whale population migrates through Big Sur twice per year.
22:56Baby whales are kept on the mother's shore side to protect them from sharks.
23:10Today, grays and humpbacks plunder Big Sur's rich, food-laden seas.
23:36California's central coast is the pathway between Arctic summer feeding grounds and tropical breeding areas for many species.
24:00The landlines appear to be located in the United States.
24:01The number one is great and critical of the animals near the world.
24:02The weather Valley meansiamociamajaks, a couple of diamonds.
24:03The house is as a big boy, soleus for the birds with a bus.
24:03The entire island provides more in the village as well as modern to hike or are the birds with a
24:03old man.
24:03It is the end of the river.
24:04It's the end of the village.
24:06The water is the end of the island from whale standing at the island to the island.
24:09Theаем is that in French, the middle of the island is living in the lake.
24:28The seal pup has nearly made it through the first critical weeks.
24:50He may stay here, or move elsewhere.
25:25Big Sur's tribe of others enjoys permanent residency.
25:36Our obsession with their pelts in the 1700s nearly wiped out the species.
25:49A small raft in Big Sur escaped the fur trade, and every otter alive here today is descended
25:56from those few survivors.
26:09Sea otters have the densest fur of any animal.
26:17In two and a half square centimeters, otters have more hairs than found on an entire human
26:23head.
26:53They look cuddly.
26:59But both males and females are fierce.
27:05Some call them kelp grizzlies.
27:13Mating takes place year-round and can be violent.
27:29This male holds his partner by her nose to combat the surf and potential rejection.
27:34We are...

27:48We are...
27:48Let's go.
28:30Renewal takes many forms along the coast.
28:39One death enables the cycle of life to continue.
29:08Despite Big Sur's merciless nature, most species are stable.
29:24The jury is still out on California condors.
29:42Part of Big Sur's evolutionary tale is surviving extreme change.
30:09Plants and animals of tide pools straddle two different homes.
30:17Residents are tough and delicate at the same time.
30:32Anemones fold their tentacles into their bodies, which prevents them from drying out when exposed
30:39to the air.
30:50Twice per day, life is submerged.
30:59And then exposed.
31:14Perhaps this extreme intertidal environment is where sea life first came to land.
31:36Big Sur's marine animals live in rare proximity to terrestrial creatures.
31:44This diverse range of habitats, so close together, exists nowhere else in the world.
31:55East of the sea lies the Redwood Belt and Big Sur's Savannah.
32:06Geological barriers have made it difficult for reptiles to move here.
32:13But a few snakes thrive.
32:21Rattlesnakes have pits near their nostrils that sense temperature change within a fraction
32:26of a degree.
32:34Their forked tongues act as a directional guide.
32:47Birds of prey aren't limited by mountains.
32:58Juvenile red-tailed hawks rarely survive their first two years.
33:04Many die in crash landings while learning to fly.
33:14This young female is healthy and able to hunt.
33:22She spots activity from the height of about two kilometers, with vision eight times more
33:28powerful than humans.
33:39Coyote families prowl Big Sur's meadows.
33:47Supremely adaptable, coyote mothers use den sites vacated by other animals.
34:02These pups are only a few weeks old, but are already wired for independence.
34:21Coyotes must be wily.
34:30Cougars, hawks and turkey vultures can snatch small pups.
34:39The vultures are even more aggressive with carrion.
34:52Their large nostrils pick up the smallest scent particles.
35:05Today, Big Sur's condors have failed to spot a natural meal.
35:11But the turkey vultures feast.
35:35During summer, coastal fog increases.
35:43And the sea ripens with potential.
35:55The otter pup bravely tries for his own food.
36:23His tastes are inherited from his mother.
36:34He still needs to learn how to keep his catch.
37:06He still needs to learn how to keep his catch.
37:06He still needs to learn how to keep his catch.
37:24Most of this season, seal pups already face the world alone.
37:31Along with sea lions, they now venture farther out to sea and into danger.
37:56Throughout Big Sur, summer brings peril.
38:23Lightning strikes and arson easily ignite dry grass and chaparral.
38:32The smallest are the first to die from heat and smoke.
38:35At the same time, the ocean is able to keep your catch,
38:54in the way that he is so committed to death.
39:01Without long legs or strong wings,
39:05There's no escape.
39:18Cougars won't return until it's safe.
39:30Once a fire runs its course, life resumes.
39:45Some plants depend upon fire to reproduce.
39:58Seeds lie dormant until extreme heat melts their outer coating.
40:11It took millions of years for California's native plants to adapt to natural fire cycles.
40:19In less than a century, humans have altered the pace so much that plants struggle to keep
40:25up.
40:34Most of Big Sur's natives adapt to changing demands.
40:40But California condors might die out.
40:58The new condor chick is out of the nest, but still depends on his parents for food.
41:16You will need all that Big Sur can provide to live for 50 years.
41:41The otter pup is about to be on his own.
41:46In less than six months, his mother will have a new baby.
41:59By now, young seals are completely independent.
42:05Survivors grow stronger every day.
42:19There are many casualties within the sea lion community.
42:30Sometimes sharks only wound their targets.
42:40Despite grave injuries, this male won't give up.
42:57Some of his comrades already decompose among the rocks.
43:20Without fog, the condors are finally able to see potential food.
43:32They spy the perfect meal.
43:50Dominant birds eat first and take the choicest parts of a carcass.
44:01A condor's beak can pierce the toughest hide.
44:09This is the first footage captured by a film crew of California condors feeding in the wild.
44:30They don't allow a turkey vulture intruder to share.
44:45This triumph for the prehistoric birds could be their turning point.
44:51It's a healthy start for the young condor chick.
45:15It's a healthy start for the young condor chick.
45:24It's a healthy lady.
45:25Big Sur is a healthy winter.
45:26Big Sur is never predictable.
45:27people. Sea otters nearly vanished from the ocean. Today, under protected status, thousands
45:40play here again. The central coast was bereft of great whales for decades. Now, large numbers
45:55pass through Big Sur and Monterey Bay. This is a merciless place. But residents are stubborn.
46:24Tragedy constantly occurs. But close by, victory celebrates. It's impossible to predict what
46:40tomorrow might bring. In secret and savage Big Sur, the bold and the bravest will survive.
