Planet Earth

1. This is a MUST see series (even Oprah says so - lol)
2. If someone can watch this & still not believe in God, well, they're only fooling themselves

If you didn't watch the first 3 episodes last Sunday, check your local listings to see when they will be re-aired.
The next two episodes are on this Sunday night (starting at 9pm MST)

Here's the list of all the episodes:

pole to pole

POLE TO POLE
PLANET EARTH's premiere episode, "Pole to Pole," ties the series together with a fresh understanding of how life in every nook and cranny of the globe is connected. It's a unique view of the majesty of our planet and the amazing creatures that live here.


mountains

MOUNTAINS
This episode tours the mightiest of mountain ranges and introduces a few of its extreme animal mountaineers — the mountain lion, snow leopard and puma, all rarely filmed creatures.

deep ocean

DEEP OCEAN
The ocean is by far the largest habitat on our planet and it remains almost entirely unexplored. This episode scans the ocean's vast surface and trolls its depths, revealing daytime hunters and night feeders.

deserts

DESERTS
Deserts are united by their lack of rain, yet they are the most varied of our planet's ecosystems. Go where freshwater is precious and meet animals that have learned to survive with small amounts of it, such as the wild Bactrian camel that eats snow and guanacos that lick dew from cactus spines.

ice worlds

ICE WORLDS
This episode guides viewers on a journey to the polar extremes of our planet. Freshwater is frozen and out of reach, and coupled with numbing temperatures, this makes life hard in frozen climes from the top to the bottom of the world.

shallow seas

SHALLOW SEAS
Follow a humpback whale mother and her calf on their epic journey to the most prolific feeding grounds that fringe the coasts. The shallow seas that lie above the continental shelf are the richest in the ocean.

great plains

GREAT PLAINS
A quarter of the earth's surface is covered with grass. The world's plains are home to massive herds of animals. Traverse the grasslands of Mongolia and the plains of Papua New Guinea, to find great gatherings of creatures, such as the wildebeest and gazelle.

jungles

JUNGLES
Beautiful floating aerial shots introduce the world's most spectacular forest vistas and high-definition cameras enable unprecedented views of the species that live on the dark jungle floor, in this episode.

fresh water

FRESHWATER
Just 3 percent of the planet's water is fresh and it is our most precious resource. Rivers and lakes have shaped the earth, carving out the world's most impressive gorges, valleys and waterfalls. Unique behavior takes place in the presence of this life force.

none

FORESTS
This episode tells the story of seasonal forests and plant survival. Forests cover vast expanses from Siberia to Tasmania and remain largely unexplored. Peek into the lives of elusive woodland inhabitants, such as snub nosed monkeys, Amur leopards and Siberian tigers.

caves

CAVES
Caves are Earth's final frontier. Caves are one of the only habitats not directly driven by sunlight. Descend into darkness to witness the unseen behaviors of creatures like cave angel fish that attach themselves to walls and swiftlets that build nests from saliva.

The DVD set will be available April 30th
There is also a book of over 400 pictures.
Plus, the feature film Planet Earth will be in theaters this fall!
