Into the Wild: Colombia

Amidst the many exotic creatures of the lush Colombian rainforest, a capuchin monkey takes his first steps. Ascend high above the forest floor to watch as young Blanco learns to climb, find food, and avoid danger. With jaguars, caimans, and rival monkeys lurking, he must tread carefully. As the dry season approaches, can this young capuchin learn the skills he desperately needs to survive in a world full of peril?

With stunning, iridescent colors and wings that can beat 50 times per second, hummingbirds are one of the most exquisite species on the planet. There's no better place to see them than in the Colombian Andes, home to over 150 species of hummingbirds--more than anywhere else in the world. Follow these tireless fliers through the mountain wilderness as they battle freezing rain, evade jungle predators, raise their chicks, and engage in an endless search for nectar.

Spend a year on the flat savannas of the Colombian Llanos, a vast grassland ruled by seasonal extremes that push existence to the brink. When the wet season hits, savage heat and crippling drought are swiftly replaced by torrential floods. Delve into the lives of the creatures who call this unforgiving arena home, like capybara, caiman, and predatory birds. For these hardened warriors, every day is a constant battle to survive.
