World of the Wild: The American Mountains

High-altitude life demands extraordinary resilience, and the animals of America's great mountain ranges have mastered it. This episode climbs into rugged peaks and alpine meadows to reveal how wildlife survives thin air, harsh cold and steep, unforgiving terrain. Through patient camera work it captures behaviour rarely seen, from hardy grazers to the predators that follow them across the slopes. Part of the World of the Wild series, it celebrates the fragile interdependence of these mountain habitats. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
