Hosted by Bear Grylls, Hostile Planet zooms in on the world’s most extreme environments to reveal the animal kingdom’s epic stories of survival on this fast-changing and continuously evolving planet.
Watching this is not for the faint of heart. When the Arabian Wolf got the Ibex baby, so sad and only minutes in. I know how nature works but I don't have to be happy about it 😢
The cinematography in this documentary is absolutely breathtaking. Are we witnessing the final generations of these iconic polar predators in their natural habitat?
One scientific fact: Arctic foxes can survive temperatures below -50°C thanks to one of the warmest fur coats relative to body size in the animal kingdom.
That wolf pack hunting the musk oxen in the freezing dark was absolute insanity. Nat Geo never fails to capture these raw, impossible moments of survival. The tension when the mother wouldn’t leave her calf was heartbreaking. Nature doesn't care about your feelings, it just demands everything you've got. Absolute masterpiece of an episode.
Outstanding documentary. The contrast between desert survival and life in the polar regions perfectly highlights the incredible diversity of our planet and the determination of wildlife to endure extreme conditions.
