covered only by a thin layer
of snow that the bison can
plow with their heads.
But sometimes the snow hides ice
kept thin by the hot springs.
Buffalo can weigh up to a ton.
But their legs are
narrow and pointy.
On thin ice,
that's a treacherous combination.
Every step may be
a step toward disaster.
In Yellowstone, the things that
give life can also claim it back.
There's nothing the herd can do...
...no lifeline the can throw.
It will take the buffalo nearly
four hours to drown.
Death is a long time coming
on the high plateau.
Deep into the month of April,
winter lashes the park
one last time.
Yellowstone is chilled,
frozen under a great white cloud.
Temperatures drop to 40 below.
This is beyond cold.
This is an assault
on all things living.
If a coyote knows loneliness...
this must be the loneliest time.
But a new season is on its way.
huge cracks rend the ice and
shatter the crust of winter.
Cain has made it through
a trying season.
But now he must do more than
simply endure.
He needs a mate, a pack,
a territory to call his own.
Sooner or later he must find these,
for without them,
his life will be desolate and brief.
With the coming of spring,
food is emerging everywhere.
And Cain is on the prowl.
As the snow retreats,
carcasses are revealed.
Among them, the bison that drowned
in the winter.
Freezing waters have preserved
the carcass, and with the thaw,
it's reappeared just in time
to catch Cain's eye.
The new season feeds
on the remains of the old.
A bear emerges from hibernation.
It's time for breakfast.
Only this fast has been
four months long.
And a solo coyote can figure
the odds.
to enjoy Cain's meal.
As the thaw continues,
white turns to gold,
and then to green...
...and the dance of spring goes on.
the cutthroat trout migrate up
the Yellowstone River.
Many will end up as food
for predators along the banks.
Like the osprey
the magnificent fish hawk.
In a land of hunters,
the osprey is one of the greatest
with feet that grasp like pincers...
the perfect tool for holding on
to a slippery fish.
Every morning, the river
brings a new feast to
the osprey's door.
And for Cain, for all those that
dwell in Yellowstone...
has now turned into
a full-throated roar.
With so much food in abundance,
life is flourishing everywhere.
Newborns have also appeared
at Cain's old pack.
Two months of gestation
have led to this:
Five new members of the pack,
five potential partners,
five potential rivals.
All around Cain,
families are springing up.
