Yellowstone: The volcanic wilderness that rivals the plains of Africa in wildlife diversity
In short: Explore the dramatic lives of Yellowstone's iconic inhabitants in this look at the world's first national park. Spanning over 3,000km, this vast landscape sits atop an active volcano and serves as a critical refuge for grizzly bears, grey wolves, and massive herds of buffalo.
Established in 1871, Yellowstone National Park is a unique ecosystem defined by its violent hot springs, lush meadows, and deep forests. Its scale is immense, covering an area larger than some American states, and it remains one of the few remaining spectacular wildernesses on the planet.
The park's wildlife populations are among the richest found outside of Africa. The ecosystem forces the grey wolf, grizzly bear, antelope, and buffalo into an interconnected struggle for survival. This footage captures their lives across three distinct seasons, highlighting the constant tension between the park's natural beauty and the peril inherent in such a volatile, volcanic environment.
