| February, and while the northern end of the planet is still in darkness, snow geese make their journey up north across [[North America]], the land below them having changed since their ancestors flew, from an endless savannah to industrial farmland. The new normal, however, has its benefits and problems: on one hand, the farmlands provide more fuel for the birds, on the other, having become so numerous, they're sought after by hunters, with a quarter of a million being shot every year. And it's not just human hunters who challenge their journey, when conditions worsen and the geese are forced to stop, [[bald eagles]] attack and kill the injured ones from the panicking flocks. | February, and while the northern end of the planet is still in darkness, snow geese make their journey up north across [[North America]], the land below them having changed since their ancestors flew, from an endless savannah to industrial farmland.

| On the north, a [[canadian lynx]] travels throught the northern forests in search of a meal. Few prey remain around, with only creatures like [[snowshoe hares]] being around and not easy to catch. By March, herds of [[pronghorn]] begin their annual migration to their birth grounds in the [[Rocky Mountains]], but like with the geese, their migration route has changed. Most of their natural predators have been driven away while fences and roads cause new problems for the nomads. | On the north, a [[canadian lynx]] travels throught the northern forests in search of a meal.

| [[Army ants]] in the [[amazon rainforest]] move the location of their bivouac at night for safety, and in Mexico's [[Baja peninsula]], a mother [[gray whale]] gives birth to a healthy calf, but with no food for the mother to consume and turn into milk for the calf, the two start a migration north. Keeping close to the coast, the family is met with dangers like industrial ships dissorienting and striking them, but it's in [[Monterey Bay]] where the biggest challenge for the pair is faced... and failed. A pod of orca ambush the family and kill the calf, leaving the mother to finish the journey on her own. | [[Army ants]] in the [[Amazon rainforest]] move the location of their bivouac at night for safety, and in Mexico's [[Baja peninsula]], a mother [[gray whale]] gives birth to a healthy calf, but with no food for the mother to consume and turn into milk for the calf, the two start a migration north.
