Picture going south from the arctic circle ... and the first living organism you will see is likely to be a tree, then two, three, and more, and suddenly ... a forest! Soon the conifers of the taiga dominate the landscape. If you guessed I’m talking about another Planet Earth episode, you guessed right! Naturally we’re shown marvelous scenes this time around of snow-covered boreal forests, giant redwood trees covered in mist, incredible time-lapse images from space of North America turning red in fall, and the wondrous, nocturnal bloom of the primordial baobab tree.
Furthermore, this episode features a hilariously grotesque moose gnawing on pine needles; a gluttonous wolverine ravaging the cadaver of a caribou; black vultures, grey owls, and mandarin ducks; the mass emergence of the (17-year cycle periodic) magicicadas; squirrels, lemurs, pine martens, adorable pudus (deer) and the cutest codcods (a wild cat); gray langur monkeys feasting on the flowers of the mahuwa tree in India’s teak forest, while chital deer warn them about stalking Bengal tigers; a nearly ethereal lynx wandering in the arctic snow; and once more the majestic Amur leopard (the rarest cat on earth) that we saw in the beginning of this magnificent series!
