In the Grip of the Seasons (Arctic)

Episode 2 of 7

Nature documentary series narrated by Sir David Attenborough. How do polar predators face the challenges of hunting in the Arctic?

In the Grip of the Seasons looks at the challenges of hunting in the Arctic, the most seasonal place on Earth. To a predator, seasonal change is a problem. It means that all the parameters of the hunt - the conditions, the strategies, the prey - change too. The only option for the Arctic's top predators, the wolf, the Arctic fox and the polar bear, is to continually adapt to their changing world, exploiting the good times and enduring the bad.
