Animal Childhood

NATURE brings the beauty and wonder of the natural world into your home, becoming in the process the benchmark for natural history programs.

Animal Childhood

Season 33 Episode 15 | 53m 10s | CC

In every animal’s life, there comes a time when it must stand on its own two feet, so to speak, and face the world alone. For a few, this happens just moments after birth, with no life lessons from parents to help them, no time to hone their survival skills. Others have the advantage of home schooling under the watchful eye of a mentor or family member.
