The Wild West

Before cowboys and before the Gold Rush, there were the original outlaws of the West -- the truly untamed animals that call America home. Elephant seals settling their scores with blood; black and brown bears prospecting for pink gold in the form of thousands of salmon; and bobcats exploring the New World alone. Join National Geographic as we venture inside the coasts, deserts and mountains where these wild creatures roam.
