Episode 1
Arctic
Mon, May 16, 2016 25 mins

Episode 2
Yellowstone
Tue, Jun 21, 2016 25 mins
Serene as it seems, Yellowstone National Park is more unpredictable than an atom of Radium -226, thanks to the active super volcano below it.
Episode 3
Oceans
Wed, Jun 22, 2016 25 mins
Most of Earth's animals live in the sea, where they form a "living soup" or a "massive death chowder" in which it's eat or be eaten.

Wildebeest
Thu, Jun 23, 2016 25 mins
The wildebeest, one of the many species of ungulates and "cud munchers" that populate the Serengeti, take part in a grand migration every year.

Madagascar
Fri, Jun 24, 2016 25 mins
Many of the flora and fauna of Madagascar are found nowhere else on Earth, which is why the island isn't called "Normal-a-gascar."
Episode 6
Penguins
Mon, Jun 27, 2016 25 mins
Penguins, "the natural world's answer to Charlie Chaplin," only have to waddle about to make children -- and Amstrong Wedgewood -- smile.
Episode 7
Islands
Tue, Jun 28, 2016 25 mins
Life on islands evolves in isolation from the wider world, and in a manner that is "absolutely potty." Much of this life is weird and wonderful.
Episode 8
Great Apes
Wed, Jun 29, 2016 25 mins
The great apes, not to be confused with monkeys, have opposable thumbs, complex social politics and other "phenomenally humanlike" qualities.
Episode 9
Forests
Thu, Jun 30, 2016 25 mins
In forests, the perfect combination of sunlight and rain "makes trees grow like billy-o." Among these trees, an entire world springs into being.
Episode 10
Bears
Fri, Jul 1, 2016 25 mins
In canvassing this presentation on bears (but not the koala bear, which is a marsupial), narrator Armstrong Wedgewood fondly recalls voice acting he'd done for Patrick's Pipe, an unsuccessful 1982 children's show canceled for drug references and underage smoking.
