  • S01E01 Chapter 1: Unity is Strength

    • November 25, 2021
    • BBC ALBA

    Whales in Alaska organise previously unseen co-operative hunting forays, while others fight orcas for herring along the Norwegian coastline. The same orcas unite to loop around shoals of fish and invent underwater boxing. When competition between species is rife, you need to be more intelligent and know how to work together!

  • S01E02 Chapter 2: Hunters in Hostile Waters

    • December 2, 2021
    • BBC ALBA

    Orcas that come out of the water, birds that dive to depths of over 20m - some animals don't hesitate to enter unfamiliar environments. In Argentina, in the bay off Puerto Madryn, Jorge Cazenave explains the orca beaching technique. Thanks to aerial images, we discover how the whales in a pod teach this technique to the young who don't yet hunt.

    • December 9, 2021
    • BBC ALBA

    Seagulls attacking whales, hyenas hunting sea lions... Climate change and the environmental upheavals it brings mean that animals, which never met before, now have to share territory. If they wish to survive, predators have to rapidly invent new hunting strategies!
