Summer
Premiered March 25, 2012
In summer, life speeds up for polar wildlife as they race to raise their young. In the Arctic, polar bear cubs get their first swimming lesson and beluga whales return to shallow bays for a spa treatment. In the southern hemisphere, male Antarctic fur seals fight a life or death battle for the right to mate. As summer fades, musk oxen ram into one another with the force of a 30 mph car crash to establish dominance, while leopard seals patrol the Antarctic coastline waiting for penguin chicks to take their first swim.
