BBC Nature's Great Events 2of6 HDTV x264 AC3 MVGroup 2009

Documentary series looking at the most dramatic wildlife spectacles on our planet.

Part 2. The Great Salmon Run
Every year grizzly bear families in North America depend for their survival on a spectacular natural
event: the return of hundreds of millions of salmon from the Pacific Ocean to the mountain streams
where they were born. The salmon travel thousands of miles to spawn and then die. The great run not
only provides food for bears, but for killer whales, wolves, bald eagles, and even the forest
itself. The question is: will the salmon return in time to keep hungry bears alive? A mother grizzly
and her cubs emerge from their den high in snowy Alaskan mountains. Filming from the air the team
capture a TV first, following the bears as they negotiate a near vertical slope on their journey to
the coast where they await the return of the salmon. Meanwhile, the salmon are making their way to
the to river mouths where they must swim upstream and against the current. The programme reveals how
they tackle the torrents and leap over waterfalls, a feat equivalent to a human jumping over a
house. Dozens of hungry bears eagerly await the salmon that make it up river. In another TV first,
underwater cameras record the ingenuity and fancy footwork they use to collect dead salmon from the
bottom of deep pools.
