00:07We are living in extraordinary times.
00:15The pandemic has changed all our lives.
00:21But while we are restricted, wildlife is free.
00:33In moments of crisis, the natural world can be a source of both inspiration and escape.
00:45So we are taking you on an adventure.
00:57To some of the wildest places on Earth.
01:11Bringing together spectacular stories from Planet Earth 2.
01:19And Blue Planet 2.
01:25And accompanying this special journey, there's a new score.
01:29Created by Hans Zimmer and Jacob Shea, who composed the music for the original series.
01:37Performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra, and featuring on piano, the award-winning artist, Dave.
01:46Working remotely on opposite sides of the Atlantic, they've come together to create a visual and a musical feast.
01:56Our adventure will take us to some of the most extreme environments on Earth.
02:03From the hottest deserts, to the freezing poles.
02:08And from highest mountains, to mysterious kingdoms underwater.
02:17Where, against all odds, life flourishes, giving us all a message of hope for the future.
02:30This is Planet Earth, a celebration.
02:34Planet Earth, a celebration.
03:04Planet Earth, a celebration.
03:05Where, against all odds, life boozy.
03:08The on extreme there are not, lost a� upon ice.
03:33People go to delta.
03:34diễnful. In a sense
03:57The Atlantic.
04:02Off the coast of South Africa, it collides with the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
04:10Spectacular winter storms create colossal waves.
04:37But one species turns these turbulent seas into a playground.
04:51Bottlenose dolphins.
04:57They are extremely intelligent.
05:09And with this intelligence comes playfulness.
05:20They surf.
05:23And as far as we can tell, they do so for the sheer joy of it.
05:55The coastal waters of South Africa teed.
05:58Even with life.
06:01And below the surface, one of the greatest of all kelp forests, which is home to some truly
06:17extraordinary creatures.
06:26Including one smart individual who's found rather ingenious ways to survive.
06:36Barely visible except for the pulsating siphon through which it breathes.
06:41A common octopus waiting for prey to pass by.
06:50A crab will do.
06:59The octopus sets off in pursuit.
07:02The Restaurant
07:18And in pursuit of level Viele from the top of smearing and inflatory waters consider absolute
07:30much more DOES
07:30Jefferson.
07:30Or in pursuit of conditions.
07:30To fall, beGs are unturn't.
07:30Thank God, Zeitra,abile.
07:31So many Chronic music.
07:33and then lurks with the patience of an ambush hunter.
08:04But the octopus shares the Cape waters with a great concentration of other predators.
08:19Fur seals and sharks.
08:27They all eat octopus if they can find one.
08:41And pyjama sharks are experts at hunting in the undergrowth.
08:56Time to disappear.
09:05But these tough-skinned little sharks are small enough to reach deep into crevices.
09:30But the octopus is far from finished.
09:36She slips her tentacles into the shark's gills.
09:40That prevents the shark from breathing.
10:02When caught out in the open and vulnerable, this octopus does something truly extraordinary.
10:09And never recorded before.
10:23She disguises herself with a protective armor of shells.
10:50The shark can sense its prey.
11:07But the shells confuse it.
11:15In a forest full of hungry mouths, superior wits allow this octopus to stay alive.
11:31Surviving in this submarine jungle can be a challenge.
11:37But above the waves, over 700 miles to the north, lies a world with challenges of a different kind.
11:56The Namib Desert.
11:59The Namib Desert.
12:03It's the oldest desert on the planet.
12:08believed to have been dry since dinosaurs walked the earth.
12:19Life here for a hunter is as hard as it gets.
12:33A pride of lions.
12:36One of the very few that endures this desert's scorching temperatures and lack of water.
13:07A herd of oryx.
13:09The only prey within 20 miles.
13:16Out here, there is no cover for an ambush.
13:20It will have to be a straight chase.
14:00They have failed.
14:02And each failed hunt brings the lions closer to starvation.
14:17To find enough to eat, the pride continually searches an area the size of Switzerland.
14:29Three days and a hundred miles later.
14:33And still, no kill.
14:38These are desperate times.
14:43A dry riverbed on the edge of their territory.
14:48The only animals here are giraffe.
14:51But these one-ton giants could kill a lion with a single kick.
15:09The lions seldom tackle such formidable prey.
15:15But this pride can't go on much longer without food.
15:48The whole pride must work together.
15:50Together as a team, if they're to succeed.
15:53Together as a team, if they're to succeed.
15:56Together of newly shot fighters.
16:21Together as a team, the horses supplies in all bolts, they successfully
16:22have for sure, they don't have the coupon at risk.
16:23Others race to cut off possible escape routes.
16:43The giraffe has the speed and stamina to outrun the pride.
16:49But it's been chased into a trap.
16:54Up ahead, the lead female waits.
17:08It's now up to her.
17:12It's now up to her.
17:39And yet, for generations, despite overwhelming adversity, they have managed to endure.
17:56Dawn breaks in the Andes.
18:05Here, high altitudes bring their own set of trials.
18:12Wildlife faces scorching days and perishing nights.
18:21Mountain Viscacha are up early to claim the best places to catch the sun's first rays.
18:48For others up here, the sunrise is even more welcome.
18:56At over 4,000 meters, this is the highest flamingo colony in the world.
19:04At night, it gets so cold that even this salty water freezes over.
19:11And now the flamingos are trapped in the ice.
19:20Eventually, the sun thins the ice.
19:24But it's still a struggle for the flamingos to break free.
19:48Walking on thin ice is always risky.
20:02And it's hard to retain one's dignity.
20:06Especially when you're wearing stilts.
20:21At these altitudes, the sun's power can quickly turn from salvation to threat.
20:35The atmosphere is so thin, there is very little protection from ultraviolet radiation.
20:42By mid-morning, it's risky to linger out in the open.
20:57Out on the lake, there is nowhere to hide.
21:07The white crust of the Soda Lake reflects the sun's glare and increases the impact of its ultraviolet rays.
21:20By mid-day, uncovered human skin will burn in four minutes.
21:24By mid-day, uncovered human skin will burn in four minutes.
21:30But this doesn't seem to bother the flamingos.
21:34In fact, they are on parade.
22:06During the breeding season, the flamingos perform these peculiar courtship dances even through the hottest time of the day.
22:20They're so eager, they don't even pause to feed.
22:42The roars are something of a mystery, but after a month of dancing, all the birds will have paired off
22:49and will be getting ready to mate.
22:58Up here, there are few other creatures to bother the flamingos, but then few other creatures could even tolerate these
23:06conditions.
23:12Wildlife has colonized almost every corner of our planet.
23:20Even the slopes of its highest mountains.
23:27The Himalayas.
23:37Lethally cold.
23:41Scoured by gales and blizzards.
23:47These mountains are among the most hostile places on Earth.
23:57Yet, a few special animals manage to live here.
24:04The snow leopard.
24:12The wind is surrounded by their lives.
24:21What are they flying around to the sky?
24:27The sky is a big hitman.
24:27The sky will be the pior.
24:27The sky is the sky.
24:29You're a giant eagle.
24:31You're flying around and off the night.
24:32The sky is the caiu.
24:35The sky is the sky.
24:36It's simply not enough prey to sustain more.
24:44They live solitary lives.
24:47Nonetheless, they are well aware of the presence
24:49and the movements of their neighbors
24:52because they leave messages in a few special places.
24:58They rub particular rocks with their cheeks.
25:04And then spray them with urine.
25:09The two perfumes create a unique signature.
25:18Any other leopard can know which of its neighbors passed this way
25:23without ever making direct contact.
25:29But there are times when snow leopards must come together
25:33and the event is often violent.
25:47An adult female and her daughter.
25:52An adult female and her daughter.
26:01She has devoted the last two years to raising her cub
26:05and very soon it will be weaned.
26:10For now, the cub is still entirely dependent on its mother.
26:20But staying together as long as this could cause problems.
26:28The female is now in heat again
26:31and any male that smells her signature will know that.
26:44From this moment on, her cub's life is at risk.
26:51Males kill cubs that are not their own.
26:59But the mother is now driven by an urge that she cannot control.
27:07She lets the males know exactly where she is.
27:24From up here, she can be heard for miles around.
27:46A young male emerges from the wilderness, eager to find her.
27:54Snow leopards meet so infrequently that there is uncertainty and tension.
28:08And it's about to get worse.
28:19Another bigger male has arrived.
28:30The mother and cub are trapped between the rivals.
28:36The cub is now in danger.
28:38Mother must act fast.
28:41To divert the male's attention from her cub, she rolls over submissively.
28:55To divert the male's attention from her cub, she rolls over submissively.
29:02With the males fixed on the female, the cub has a chance to escape.
29:13The males close in on the mother from both sides, keen to claim her for their own.
29:20A fight is inevitable.
29:22A fight is inevitable.
29:46The female moves to escape and protect her cub.
29:50The female moves to escape and protect her cub.
30:04He will not let her leave until he has mated with her.
30:24With the males gone, the female is at last reunited with her cub, but she has been injured.
30:45The cub, however, is alive thanks to its mother.
30:59Until her injury heals, she won't be able to hunt.
31:05Mountain animals survive on the very edge of existence.
31:13Mother and cub were not seen again, until over a month later, high on a ridge, a remote camera
31:29was triggered.
31:34The female cat, she's no longer limping, but she's now alone.
31:45Then, an hour after the female has left, the camera is triggered again.
31:57It's her cub, taking her first steps towards adulthood and independence.
32:05She is unlikely to see her mother again, but every now and then, they will be reunited through
32:13the messages they leave on the marking rocks.
32:19Her mother has succeeded in raising her, but life ahead will be challenging, and she will
32:27spend nearly all of it alone.
32:38Existence in these unforgiving mountains is fraught with difficulty.
32:46But surviving on remote islands can also be tough.
32:51The Galapagos lie in the Pacific Ocean, 600 miles from the coast of South America.
32:57This is Fernandina Island, volcanic, harsh and desolate.
33:10To survive here, wildlife has had to evolve specific skills.
33:22And that has made the iguanas here different from all their relatives.
33:31These are marine iguanas.
33:37They are vegetarians, but since there's little food for them on the land, marine iguanas graze
33:43on the sea floor.
33:48A big male like this one can dive to 30 meters and hold its breath for half an hour.
34:19There are more than 7,000 individuals on Fernandina Island.
34:32And by bringing nutrients from the sea to the land, the iguanas help other animals to survive
34:38here too.
34:43Crabs feed on dead skin on the iguanas back and, in turn, provide a welcome exfoliation service.
34:58While smaller lizards prey on the flies that pester the colony.
35:24But not all the relationships on this island are so harmonious.
35:35Marin iguanas lay their eggs in sand.
35:40In June, when the hatchlings emerge, they're vulnerable.
35:48They must join the adults at the edge of the sea.
35:51But the journey will be a dangerous one.
36:19Racer snakes.
36:20Racer snakes.
36:26Racer- In June, time�.
36:50The snakes missed their chance.
37:01But more babies are hatching.
37:09And now the snakes are on the alert.
37:13This is the best feeding opportunity they will get all year.
37:32On flat ground, a baby iguana can outrun a racer snake, but others are waiting in ambush.
38:08Another hatchling has its first
38:11glimpse of a dangerous world.
38:38Here we go.
38:42I don't know.
38:43I don't know.
39:14But they can detect movement.
39:17So if the hatchling keeps its nerve, it may just avoid detection.
39:51So if the hatchling keeps its nerve, it may be the same.
40:40So if the hatchling keeps its nerve, it may be the same.
40:53A near-miraculous escape.
41:06The lucky survivors can begin learning the unique way of life here.
41:21Other islands may seem more welcoming places to grow up.
41:30But appearances can be deceiving.
41:40During the dry season, over half a million terns crowd onto this remote atoll in the Indian
41:47Ocean.
41:55Their chicks are still in their dark, juvenile plumage.
42:03They vary in age.
42:14Whilst the more advanced chicks take to the air...
42:24Others aren't quite ready yet.
42:47Those just starting to learn to fly use the shallow lagoon that occupies the centre of the
42:53as well as their training ground.
42:58It's difficult for some of them to stay aloft for long.
43:25Giant Trivalis.
43:27Giant Trivalis.
43:40Usually they are solitary hunters.
43:44But about 50 of them have come here from neighbouring reefs, attracted by this abundance of potential prey.
43:53Giant Trivalis.
43:59The fledglings stay out of the water if they can.
44:04They even drink on the wing.
44:06Giant Trivalis.
44:08Giant Trivalis.
44:24If the Juvalier are to catch one now, they have to up their game.
44:29Giant Trivalis.
44:39So there is a fish here that, amazingly, has a brain capable of calculating the airspeed, altitude,
44:47and trajectory of a bird.
44:50Flood.
44:52Flood.
44:52İns שמע.しゅんモデ
45:21The
45:21time comes when every fledgling has to take to the air
45:25and collect food for itself.
45:50Their parents lead them to the training grounds.

47:29If they are to survive, they must learn quickly.
47:35BIRDS CHIRP
47:41After a month of practicing over the lagoon, the youngsters start to leave and take their chances out over the
47:49open sea.
47:576,000 miles to the north, and the warm waters of the tropics become a distant memory.
48:08The Arctic.
48:13For millennia, animals have survived in a world where temperatures can fall to below 50 degrees.
48:31And every winter, the Norwegian fjords in the Arctic Circle are crowded by one of the most spectacular assemblies of
48:40fish to be seen anywhere.
48:45Herrings. Billions of them. And following them, Orca.
49:05There are up to a thousand of them.
49:09It's possibly the greatest gathering of Orca on the planet.
49:23The Herring may be plentiful, but in these winding fjords, they're not always easy to track down.
49:35These particular Orca, however, are fish hunting specialists.
49:49They work as a team coordinating their approach by calling loudly to one another.
50:00They herd the herring into tighter and tighter shoals.
50:18They swim below them, trapping them against the surface of the sea.
50:31And now the Orca deploy their special weapon.
50:40They beat their tails with such force that the shock waves stun the herring.
50:49And then the senseless victims are easily collected.
50:53?
50:56?
50:58?
50:58Oh, my God.
51:28All this underwater noise attracts others.
51:39Humpback whales.
51:42They move in on the action.
51:53They approach the shoal from beneath and then lunge upwards.
52:03Gathering up to 100 kilos of herring in a single mouthful.
52:26The humpbacks are comparative newcomers.
52:29They only started coming here within the last decade.
52:44But these polar seas are so rich that there appears to be enough food for everyone.
53:16We share our planet with spectacular wild animals.
53:21Which have adapted to live in the strangest and harshest of environments.
53:27Now, more than ever, they are an inspiration for us all.
53:59So, let's go.
54:43For this special Planet Earth musical celebration, to raise our spirits during the pandemic, we brought together composer Hans Zimmer
54:54and top-selling artist Dave.
54:58I'm quarantined with whatever happens, you know, that's the composer's life.
55:03I couldn't have seen the world ever stopping, ever, if it wasn't for something like this, you know.
55:08They're both passionate about the natural world.
55:12Anything I write in one way or the other is determined in one way or the other by nature.
55:20You know, that episode everybody's always talking about was the iguanas and the snakes.
55:27Every director I've ever worked with only wished that they could have had a car chase like that on action
55:34scene like this.
55:40We're trying to provide you with an experience.
55:48An experience which gets under your skin and you start to understand a little bit more what this world is
55:54all about and how we fit into this world.
56:05To be performing with an orchestra as talented as the one that I did today, amazing.
56:13And I got a lot of inspiration from the natural world to my music.
56:19Music is everywhere.
56:24There's a tone to the birds when they sing.
56:35The air, the wind, the trees, the elements.
56:42The soundtrack to nature is a beautiful thing.
56:48Music is everywhere.
56:54Music and images can create an experience that can teach us something on a profound level.
57:01Make us feel a hope.
57:06Let's look forward.
57:07Let's look towards the future.
57:09Let's make a better future.
57:12Never before in the history of humankind
57:15has it been more critical to protect and nurture the natural world.
57:23Which is, after all, our home too.
57:33Looking out for our great planet, a special follow-up to the war on plastic as the fight goes on
57:38tomorrow night at 9.
57:39And can Strike and Robin protect their witness?
57:42It's a race against time to find him as Lethal White continues, next.
57:47Now, don't go anywhere as new worlds collide.
57:50A first look at the brand new series of His Dark Materials, coming right up.
57:54And we try to find the new presidential Yoon in zurück on him as a human being.
57:59It has a borderline.
