How Animals Survive the Changing Seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer & Autumn in the Wild (2020)

Our seasons shape the cycle of life in dramatic ways. Spring, summer, autumn or winter – every season is unique, each presenting nature with new challenges. The constant change in living conditions demands extraordinary feats from animals and plants throughout the year. And the survival strategies of the squirrel, fox and many others could hardly be more fascinating. The film takes us on a breathtaking journey of discovery through indigenous nature: after the privations of winter, life explodes in spring, the heat of summer is followed by the harvest season of autumn. Extraordinary animal stories – some humorous, some dramatic, but always with an eye to the season’s special features – bring the magic of our seasons to life. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 - Introduction ▷ 0:01:12 - Winter Wonderland - Life in the Ice ▷ 0:03:37 - Survival in the Snow - Predators and Prey ▷ 0:07:17 - Winter Waters - Dippers, Owls, and Ice Birds ▷ 0:12:03 - Spring Awakens - The First Blooms Return ▷ 0:14:26 - Spring Fever - Mating, Nesting, New Life ▷ 0:17:18 - Forest Spring - Squirrels, Saplings, and Songbirds ▷ 0:19:36 - Frogspawn, Fights, and Life in the Pond ▷ 0:23:05 - Cherry Blossoms and the Rise of the Bees ▷ 0:26:11 - Birth in the Trees - Squirrel Families ▷ 0:30:02 - May Energy - Wild Boards, Birds, and New Growth ▷ 0:33:18 - Tadpoles Transform - From Water to Land ▷ 0:35:52 - Summer Arrives - Fox Cubs, Storks & Meadows ▷ 0:39:22 - High Summer - Squirrels, Strawberries & Ant Kingdoms ▷ 0:42:41 - Dragonflies & Damselflies - Life Above the Water ▷ 0:45:04 - Summer Harvest - Fruit, Birds, and Busy Orchards ▷ 0:47:59 - Heatwave Survival - Water, Wasps & Thunderstorms ▷ 0:52:24 - Nesting Neighbors - Storks and Sparrows in the Sun ▷ 0:55:17 - Summer Storms & Life-Saving Rain ▷ 0:57:22 - Deer in Summer - The Rut Begins ▷ 0:59:03 - Golden Fields - Europe's Great Grain Harvest ▷ 1:00:39 - Orchard Feast - Apples, Mice & Autums Visitors ▷ 1:02:07 - Migration and Preparation - Butterflies & Berries ▷ 1:03:19 - The Great Nut Harvest - Beechnuts & Forest Food ▷ 1:04:51 - Deer in Autumn - Power, Energy & Survival ▷ 1:06:24 - Waterfowl Season - Grebes, Coots & Geese ▷ 1:09:03 - Mushrooms, Slugs & Autumn Life Cycles ▷ 1:10:12 - Hedgehogs & Forest Creatures Prepare for Winter ▷ 1:12:04 - Flaming Forests - Autumn Colors Unleashed ▷ 1:14:38 - Autumn Battles - Squirrels vs. Jays ▷ 1:18:29 - Trees Let Go - The Fall of the Leaves ▷ 1:20:21 - Last Meals - Dippers & Forest Shrimp ▷ 1:21:05 - Wild Boars in Winter Mode ▷ 1:23:24 - Deer in Winter - Master Survivalists ▷ 1:24:54 - Life on Ice - Birds vs. Frozen Lakes ▷ 1:27:00 - Mild Winters, Climate Change & Winter Solstice ▷ 1:28:06 - A New Year Begins - Seasons of Magic ▷ 1:28:30 - Credits #documentary #animals #wildlife #nature #fourseasons #spring #summer #autumn #winter #ecosystem #animalbehavior #animalplanet ------- Subscribe to wocomoWILDLIFE: https://goo.gl/L5puvQ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo ------- Original title: The Magical Four - Our Seasons A film by Annette Scheurich, Alexandra & Steffen Sailer, Klaus Scheurich © 2020, Licensed by Albatross ------- Videos about animals, aquatic life and nature: wocomoWILDLIFE offers high-quality entertainment.
