Series 1: 10. Patagonia

Patagonia, an untamed wilderness at the edge of the Americas. In the icy waters off Argentina, rockhopper penguins risk their lives against crashing waves and predatory sea lions to feed their chicks, in never-before-seen footage from Los Estados Island. In Chile's Torres del Paine, a mother puma hunts through the snow, revealing unexpected social behaviours among these elusive cats.\n\nHigh in the trees, male Chilean stag beetles engage in epic battles for mates, filmed in microscopic detail. On the grasslands, in rare paternal behaviour, a Darwin’s rhea raises his brood and even adopts a lost chick. \n\nMeanwhile, off the coast of Argentina, a matriarch orca teaches her young the art of beaching to catch seals – behaviour that is rarely filmed. On the shores, colossal elephant seals clash for dominance in brutal encounters, showing the struggle for survival in this unforgiving landscape.
