Animal Babies: First Year on Earth
Season 1 Episode 1 of 3
Cameras follow six baby animals as they learn the basic skills needed to face the challenges of surviving their first year. In Kenya, newborn elephant calf Safina learns how to keep up with her fast moving herd, and in Sri Lanka, one-week-old Jazir has to quickly learn the ropes of a primate society. At the edge of the Arctic, five-week-old fox cubs must learn to hunt before their siblings beat them to limited food, and in Uganda, an eight-week-old mountain gorilla adapts to forest life
