00:00Earth's rarest mammals struggle to survive in shrinking habitats.
00:05A vaquita breaks the surface beside fishing nets in the Gulf of California.
00:09Across Arctic seas, Asian forests, and isolated islands, rare mammals hide, swim, and struggle to survive in habitats shrinking around
00:18them.
00:18A saula slips through wet jungle along the Laos-Vietnam border, avoids camera traps for years, and remains one of
00:25Earth's least photographed mammals.
00:27An Amur leopard stalks snowy forests in eastern Russia, hunts deer through frozen brush, and survives with only a tiny
00:35wild population remaining.
00:37A northern hairy-nosed wombat digs burrows in Queensland grasslands, feeds after sunset, and clings to survival inside heavily guarded
00:46reserves.
00:47A pangolin curls into an armored ball in African grasslands, but poachers still capture the animal faster than populations can
00:55recover.
00:55A vaquita surfaces near Baja California fishing boats, exhales beside illegal gill nets, and survives as the rarest marine mammal
01:04on Earth.
01:05A red wolf prowls through North Carolina wetlands at night, searching for territory, as conservationists struggle to rebuild the critically
01:12endangered population.
01:13From frozen forests to coastal waters, these mammals survive by hiding in places humans continue to clear, fish, and fragment.
01:22If these habitats collapse, some of Earth's rarest mammals could disappear almost unseen.
