Wildest New Zealand Ocean Legacy
Spring on New Zealand's east coast is a time of promise for the New Zealand Fur Seal and the Norther Royal Albatross. They've returned to their land to breed. But harsh terrain, fickle weather and hungry predators will conspire to make lives difficult for them. Only the strongest will survive to carry forward their legacy.
The islands of New Zealand are home to an entirely unique menagerie of creatures. It is a place where the normal rules don't apply - the birds can't fly, a small, ancient lizard is a top predator, parrots play in snowy mountain meadows and penguins roam the streets. Seals battle on the beaches, albatrosses soar on the air currents and a monster movie plays out in miniature among the dense undergrowth of this lush, vital land.
