Head to the Central African Republic where elephants come together. In the Bahamas, the miracle of new life as never seen before. One wildlife photographer's conundrum is solved by having tigers take their own pictures. Crittercam investigates disappearing elephant seal pups off the coast of California.

Dzanga Bai
Wild Chronicles reveals an unusual clearing in the forest of the Central African Republic, the Dzanga Bai is a place where elephants come together in great numbers.

In the deep waters of the Bahamas, Wild Chronicles and Crittercam® gain a fleeting glimpse of a rare and most remarkable sea creature - the beaked whale. Incredibly, Crittercam® captures the first video of a birth among these rare whales. What you see will astound you.

Tigereye
Photographing a wild tiger is one of the greatest challenges any cameraman can face. Notoriously tough subjects, tigers are dangerous, nocturnal, and solitary. But National Geographic's Nick Nichols has a plan to capture a tiger on film…by taking himself out of the picture. Wild Chronicles joins Nichols in India's Badhavagarh National Park as he deploys an array of remote camera traps set with infrared triggers. The images they return are both breathtaking and eye-opening, and may help save this predator in decline.

Crittercam: Elephant Seal
Something strange is happening to elephant seals along California's coast. Each year, half of the seal pups disappear, and what happens to them is a mystery.

Ten years after one of the worst tragedies in modern day climbing history, Wild Chronicles heads to Nepal with a mountaineering company that was on Everest that fateful day for the chance to stand on top of the world.

Crittercam: Bearded Seals
In the frigid Arctic waters of Svalbard Island, bearded seals and polar bears face a new, unseen enemy. Polar bear cubs are dying, possibly giving credence to the old adage, "You are what you eat." Bearded seals, a favorite meal of the polar bear, are ingesting harmful toxins called PCBs. Have these toxins become concentrated enough to kill a baby bear? Join Wild Chronicles in an attempt to find the answer.

Madagascar Lemur
Madagascar, off the coast of Africa, is home to native species found nowhere else on Earth. But the effect of rapid deforestation is threatening this island nation's wildlife.

With the help of the locals, the researchers try to protect what was so recently found from being lost forever.

Jewels of Carribean
Hidden just beneath the waves of the Caribbean Sea lies a treasure trove of sea creatures in a fantastic underwater world. Circling the intricate coral reefs are creatures great and small. Wild Chronicles gets up close and personal with the denizens that call these waters home.

The world's richest reservoir of plant and animal life is found here, and the battle for its survival pits those trying to protect the Amazon against the illegal miners who would destroy it.

Crittercam: Turtles & Shark Bay
In western Australia, green turtles and loggerhead turtles are on the menu for Shark Bay's top predator: tiger sharks. But one species escapes hungry jaws more often than the other. To find out why, Wild Chronicles follows the National Geographic Crittercam® team in search of providing a window into the rarely seen underwater world of sea turtles. Crittercam® reveals that speed and agility help greens steer clear of tiger sharks while loggerheads bear the consequences of being "slow-pokes."

Elephant Power
In Myanmar, elephants are used to log the teak forests that were once their home. While investigating the consequences of harnessing elephant power for labor, Wild Chronicles discovers that these elephants - and some thoughtful forest management - are helping to save Myanmar's remaining wild lands.

Antarctic Orcas
Seemingly inhospitable to life, Antarctica is a desert made of ice. Yet, as Wild Chronicles host Boyd Matson discovers first hand, it is teeming with millions of birds and marine mammals. Here, it is the sea, not the barren landscape that is the source of life. And there is always enough food - for those that know where to find it.

Even in this deeply remote island forest, people have left their mark, and the expedition must work quickly to document the rare plants and animals before it's too late.

Chimp Human Illness
In an effort to pinpoint the source of a flu-like illness threatening wild chimpanzees in Tanzania, scientists turn to an unusual research method - they study chimps without ever laying a hand on them. How? It all depends on poop. Wild Chronicles examines a research project that is searching for the source of the sickness by analyzing chimp feces. that may confirm what some scientists have believed for years - that Mahale's chimps are catching illnesses from humans.

Crittercam: Bubblenet Humpbacks
Wild Chronicles plunges into the deep waters of Chatham Strait where Alaska's humpback whales perform one of the most breathtaking displays of cooperative feeding in nature.

Using a tiny camera outfitted with a myriad of sensors, Crittercam reveals a whale's-eye view of hunting techniques and mealtime secrets.

Orangutan Orphanage
Wild Chronicles heads to Indonesia where an orphanage helps endangered orangutans fight for survival. Habitat destruction, hunting, and the illegal pet trade have decimated their populations, leaving some of the tiniest, most vulnerable orangutans without parental care. But an unusual adoption program is giving many abandoned youngsters a second chance.

Bison
Wild Chronicles heads to North America where endangered bison are on the verge of genetic extinction. Most remaining bison herds have been genetically enhanced with cattle genes, and there may be only one healthy, purebred herd left in the world. But conservationists from World Wildlife Fund have a plan to save the last of the purebreds and bring the greatest symbol of the West back to the plains.

Predator Crocodiles
Crocodiles have hunted Africa's rivers since the age of the dinosaurs. They are a dynasty built on a design so quick and powerful that it has lasted 60 million years.

Ferrets
In a prairie dog town in South Dakota, a team of researchers discover that black-footed ferrets, a critically endangered species, are not only actively breeding in the wild again, but also maintaining self-sustaining populations - proof that reintroduction programs are paying off. This is good news for researchers who have spent countless nights capturing, tagging, vaccinating and DNA-tracking ferrets for captive breeding programs. Join Wild Chronicles in a journey into the night to shed light on the promising fate of one of America's most endangered species.

Off the coast of Hawaii's Auau Channel, the haunting sound of the song of the humpback whale is heard. Here to mate, males battle for the attention of females. Join Wild Chronicles as Crittercam® plunges into the melee to see what it takes to be the victor among these giants.

Jaguar
Forty years since they've been seen with any regularity in the United States, jaguars have recently been spotted crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. This is good news to conservationists working to create a permanent home in the feline's native range - a corridor that stretches from Mexico to Argentina. But the task is not as simple as setting land aside. While camera traps and satellite tags gather crucial population data, sensitive political battles are waged with private landowners and governments. The truth is, aiding predators is a hard sell. Wild Chronicles follows one man's attempts to save the largest cat in the Americas, and discover what scientists are hoping will allow jaguars, and the people that share their land, to thrive.

Crittercam: Dugong
Wild Chronicles heads to Australia with Crittercam® to solve another of nature's mysteries - how thousands of dugongs inhabiting Shark Bay avoid hungry tiger sharks. Using unique underwater camera technology, scientists discover that dugongs, which are close relatives of manatees, dive much deeper than expected -- to feed and to evade their powerful predators.
