00:33:55,575 …and to top it all off, the silent scream. 239 00:33:56,284 --> 00:33:57,911 Ah. 240 00:34:04,292 --> 00:34:08,380 Almost every waved albatross in the world comes to this island to breed. 241 00:34:14,261 --> 00:34:17,222 And the noise is relentless. 242 00:34:23,895 --> 00:34:25,105 So much for resting. 243 00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:39,869 Unable to return to his home beach, 244 00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:46,209 Leo moves on in search of someplace more welcoming. 245 00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:15,739 Like Leo, the Galápagos islands themselves are on their own journey. 246 00:35:20,577 --> 00:35:26,750 The relentless volcanic activity here has them always moving, always changing. 247 00:35:31,296 --> 00:35:35,842 And it's possible any one of them could become Leo's home one day. 248 00:35:46,978 --> 00:35:52,150 Eventually, Leo finds an island where the coastline is rough and exposed, 249 00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:55,487 and the swell is picking up. 250 00:36:11,628 --> 00:36:13,838 If there's one thing Leo can't resist, 251 00:36:18,134 --> 00:36:19,552 it's surfing. 252 00:36:45,203 --> 00:36:48,164 From out of the blue, another sea lion joins Leo. 253 00:36:53,128 --> 00:36:55,338 And he's brought with him some other young exiles. 254 00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:51,436 With spirits riding high, 255 00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:54,189 Leo starts up a game of "Catch the Sea Urchin." 256 00:38:19,005 --> 00:38:24,719 But on this reef, playing games can be costly. 257 00:38:49,702 --> 00:38:52,080 Leo senses something. 258 00:38:55,959 --> 00:38:56,960 Run for it. 259 00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:26,823 A close call, but they all managed to escape. 260 00:39:31,786 --> 00:39:37,166 A massive 12-foot Galápagos shark on the hunt for young sea lions. 261 00:39:42,422 --> 00:39:47,010 With no adults around to protect them, Leo steps up. 262 00:39:50,471 --> 00:39:54,517 If he can't conquer his fear, he'll never become a beachmaster. 263 00:40:01,608 --> 00:40:02,942 The others follow his lead. 264 00:40:04,861 --> 00:40:07,572 Leo is gonna take on this shark. 265 00:40:11,117 --> 00:40:14,454 He's learned from chasing the whitetips at Devil's Crown… 266 00:40:17,165 --> 00:40:20,793 nipping on their sensitive tails is something that sharks hate. 267 00:40:23,713 --> 00:40:25,214 He shows the others how it's done. 268 00:40:42,398 --> 00:40:44,108 Finally the shark retreats. 269 00:40:45,026 --> 00:40:46,027 It's had enough. 270 00:40:51,324 --> 00:40:52,867 When things got heated, 271 00:40:53,451 --> 00:40:57,955 Leo was able to rise to the occasion and face down the shark. 272 00:41:01,209 --> 00:41:04,420 Very few male sea lions go on to become beachmasters, 273 00:41:05,213 --> 00:41:09,133 but Leo is showing he might just have what it takes. 274 00:41:13,638 --> 00:41:18,184 He leaves his surfing friends behind and continues on alone. 275 00:41:22,021 --> 00:41:25,441 But now much more empowered. 276 00:41:33,282 --> 00:41:36,911 The waters throughout the Galápagos are some of the richest on Earth 277 00:41:37,412 --> 00:41:39,580 with over 500 types of fish. 278 00:41:44,043 --> 00:41:48,423 For a lone sea lion, catching fish in open water is nearly impossible. 279 00:41:59,892 --> 00:42:01,811 But there are other ways. 280 00:42:08,151 --> 00:42:11,070 Some fish hide from predators inside rocky crevices. 281 00:42:13,990 --> 00:42:16,367 Thankfully, Leo is patient. 282 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,998 Sea lions have the longest whiskers of any mammal 283 00:42:22,582 --> 00:42:25,168 that can sense the tiniest vibrations in the water. 284 00:42:35,928 --> 00:42:39,098 As Leo pokes around, he realizes something. 285 00:42:42,643 --> 00:42:45,188 If he blows bubbles into the rocks, 286 00:42:45,271 --> 00:42:48,191 he can flush out the fish from their hiding spots. 287 00:43:10,004 --> 00:43:11,005 Gotcha. 288 00:43:24,644 --> 00:43:25,895 It's a start, 289 00:43:25,978 --> 00:43:29,357 but he'll need much larger catches if he wants to become a beachmaster. 290 00:43:35,321 --> 00:43:36,906 Leo presses on. 291 00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:42,411 The Galápagos archipelago is spread over a vast area. 292 00:43:46,666 --> 00:43:48,459 23,000 square miles. 293 00:43:49,377 --> 00:43:52,672 So sea lions have to make huge ocean crossings. 294 00:44:14,735 --> 00:44:18,865 So far in his life, Leo has only explored a few places, 295 00:44:19,699 --> 00:44:24,912 but there are over a hundred islands, islets, and rocks in the Galápagos. 296 00:44:27,582 --> 00:44:34,046 And each has its own special qualities that make it exceptional. 297 00:44:37,216 --> 00:44:39,886 Newly formed islands are just barren rock. 298 00:44:42,972 --> 00:44:46,392 Freshly cooled lava where life struggles to get a hold. 299 00:44:51,188 --> 00:44:54,442 On older islands, plants have had time to establish, 300 00:44:56,277 --> 00:44:58,988 creating rich, varied habitats. 301 00:45:15,963 --> 00:45:19,550 On the far western edge of the archipelago lies Fernandina, 302 00:45:21,177 --> 00:45:22,803 the youngest island of them all. 303 00:45:32,605 --> 00:45:36,317 It looks pretty inhospitable on the surface. 304 00:45:38,402 --> 00:45:42,615 But underwater it is a very different story. 305 00:45:43,449 --> 00:45:47,161 Deepwater currents make these shores some of the most productive 306 00:45:47,244 --> 00:45:49,038 in all of the Galápagos. 307 00:45:51,123 --> 00:45:55,962 The water is so cold, even penguins have made a home here. 308 00:46:02,677 --> 00:46:05,346 Leo has seen iguanas like these on his home island, 309 00:46:05,429 --> 00:46:08,182 but what are they doing down here? 310 00:46:10,518 --> 00:46:13,646 Galápagos marine iguanas are the only lizards on Earth 311 00:46:13,729 --> 00:46:17,108 that have evolved to swim underwater. 312 00:46:18,192 --> 00:46:20,277 They feed almost entirely on algae. 313 00:46:24,907 --> 00:46:28,828 But the local damselfish do not appreciate these land creatures 314 00:46:28,911 --> 00:46:34,000 coming down here and just helping themselves to whatever they want. 315 00:46:37,211 --> 00:46:39,130 Tearing apart their front lawns. 316 00:46:44,260 --> 00:46:47,763 And they're not going to just put up with it. 317 00:46:50,433 --> 00:46:52,852 Fine. The iguana's had enough. 318 00:46:57,314 --> 00:46:59,817 But now it's Leo's turn. 319 00:47:10,369 --> 00:47:12,913 Leo knows what it's like when you're not welcome. 320 00:47:21,672 --> 00:47:23,549 You're a pretty good swimmer, you know that? 321 00:47:50,451 --> 00:47:53,579 After a long, slightly annoying dive, 322 00:47:54,205 --> 00:47:57,416 the iguana returns to the lava rock that is home. 323 00:48:03,547 --> 00:48:05,674 Many others are also hauled out here. 324 00:48:08,219 --> 00:48:09,303 Thousands of them. 325 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,601 Their ancestors were amongst the first animals to arrive on these islands. 326 00:48:28,364 --> 00:48:30,407 Not exactly a warm welcome for Leo. 327 00:48:35,704 --> 00:48:38,249 The lizards sneeze out the excess salt water 328 00:48:38,332 --> 00:48:41,168 that has accumulated in their bodies from their diving trips. 329 00:48:45,714 --> 00:48:52,096 Leo also notices other island inhabitants sneakily slithering through the rocks. 330 00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:57,768 Racer snakes. 331 00:49:01,772 --> 00:49:04,692 Hundreds of them are amassing. 332 00:49:06,819 --> 00:49:09,697 All waiting for one thing. 333 00:49:11,782 --> 00:49:13,909 Newly hatched baby iguanas. 334 00:49:38,684 --> 00:49:40,186 Every route seems blocked. 335 00:50:09,131 --> 00:50:12,885 This is one gruesome place. 336 00:50:16,055 --> 00:50:18,307 The little ones who manage to make it through 337 00:50:18,390 --> 00:50:20,351 are safe with the adult iguanas. 338 00:50:27,274 --> 00:50:29,818 Fernandina is a recently formed island, 339 00:50:30,444 --> 00:50:34,365 and at its heart is an active simmering volcano. 340 00:50:35,366 --> 00:50:36,742 A ticking time bomb. 341 00:50:39,078 --> 00:50:43,791 Its relentless volcanic activity is constantly reshaping its landscape. 342 00:50:46,335 --> 00:50:51,590 But these harsh lava rock surroundings also create an opportunity for Leo. 343 00:50:58,806 --> 00:51:03,060 This jagged, uneven coastline is a perfect hunting ground. 344 00:51:04,853 --> 00:51:06,230 And now that he's an adult, 345 00:51:06,814 --> 00:51:09,608 Leo is ready to set his sights on bigger prey. 346 00:51:13,487 --> 00:51:14,738 Much bigger prey. 347 00:51:15,572 --> 00:51:16,907 Yellowfin tuna. 348 00:51:18,867 --> 00:51:21,287 They can weigh up to 130 pounds 349 00:51:22,663 --> 00:51:25,582 and are capable of traveling at 40 miles per hour. 350 00:51:26,834 --> 00:51:28,335 Twice as fast as a sea lion. 351 00:51:32,673 --> 00:51:35,926 And just when Leo thought he was all alone out here, 352 00:51:37,303 --> 00:51:40,681 another young adult sea lion shows up from a neighboring island 353 00:51:41,307 --> 00:51:43,559 and he's eager to join Leo in the hunt. 354 00:51:57,114 --> 00:52:00,326 Neither of them seem to know quite how to approach this. 355 00:52:08,709 --> 00:52:11,045 The tuna don't seem all that hard to round up. 356 00:52:18,218 --> 00:52:21,764 But each time they get close, they manage to slip through. 357 00:52:35,736 --> 00:52:37,363 Leo almost gets one, 358 00:52:37,905 --> 00:52:40,282 but they're nearly impossible to hold on to. 359 00:52:44,703 --> 00:52:45,913 They're so quick. 360 00:53:05,891 --> 00:53:08,102 Well, this isn't working. 361 00:53:12,231 --> 00:53:17,194 Out of options, Leo looks to the island's quiet inner coves. 362 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,992 There's an old exiled beachmaster who lives here. 363 00:53:24,743 --> 00:53:26,829 It's a bit of a gamble, 364 00:53:27,454 --> 00:53:29,581 but Leo's gonna see if he can get him to help. 365 00:53:37,381 --> 00:53:42,636 Waking a full-grown bull sea lion from his nap is not a great idea. 366 00:53:44,471 --> 00:53:48,559 But when Leo wants to make friends, he can be pretty persuasive. 367 00:53:57,151 --> 00:54:00,863 Amazingly, Leo convinces him to join the hunt. 368 00:54:06,535 --> 00:54:08,620 What Leo doesn't know about this old bull… 369 00:54:11,457 --> 00:54:18,172 is that, when it comes to catching tuna, this guy is a legend. 370 00:54:20,799 --> 00:54:23,218 The two younger sea lions head out in front, 371 00:54:24,928 --> 00:54:26,680 while the maestro hangs behind. 372 00:54:31,518 --> 00:54:34,563 Leo and his partner chase the tuna all around the cove, 373 00:54:35,689 --> 00:54:38,066 and the old master blocks the exit. 374 00:54:42,863 --> 00:54:46,200 What he lacks in speed, he makes up for in brains. 375 00:54:48,243 --> 00:54:52,331 He knows the tuna, as fast as they are, tire out quickly. 376 00:54:57,419 --> 00:55:01,131 Eventually, they begin to single one fish out. 377 00:55:43,549 --> 00:55:46,468 Finally, the tuna's out of energy… 378 00:55:46,552 --> 00:55:47,761 …and out of water. 379 00:55:50,973 --> 00:55:52,808 The young ones step aside 380 00:55:52,891 --> 00:55:57,104 and let the old pro show them how to deal with one of these huge things. 381 00:56:14,037 --> 00:56:16,248 Leo can pack on the muscle he needs. 382 00:56:33,265 --> 00:56:34,933 And thanks to the old beachmaster, 383 00:56:35,517 --> 00:56:38,478 he's learned that not all adult males are hostile. 384 00:56:40,731 --> 00:56:44,860 It's up to Leo to decide what sort of bull sea lion he will become. 385 00:57:00,959 --> 00:57:05,422 The volcano has awoken, spewing molten rock across the island. 386 00:57:16,767 --> 00:57:20,187 As the 2,000-degree lava flows into the sea, 387 00:57:20,270 --> 00:57:22,564 the water instantly evaporates. 388 00:57:30,739 --> 00:57:33,492 Fernandina is on fire. 389 00:57:35,827 --> 00:57:38,914 And Leo is forced to move on again. 390 00:57:45,504 --> 00:57:48,173 A growing sea lion without a home. 391 00:58:06,692 --> 00:58:11,530 Three years have passed, and Leo is now seven years old. 392 00:58:12,739 --> 00:58:16,660 His travels throughout the Galápagos have taken him from dead volcanoes 393 00:58:17,202 --> 00:58:19,621 to lava eruptions and more, 394 00:58:20,122 --> 00:58:23,375 but he's never experienced the blissful side of volcanic activity… 395 00:58:25,377 --> 00:58:26,503 until today. 396 00:58:27,963 --> 00:58:32,217 Hot gas bubbles from molten magma percolating up through the sea floor. 397 00:58:38,348 --> 00:58:42,310 The lava rock in this area was filled with these bubbles when it cooled, 398 00:58:42,394 --> 00:58:45,313 giving it a unique coarse texture. 399 00:58:49,693 --> 00:58:51,611 Perfect for scratching up against. 400 00:58:54,865 --> 00:58:58,452 Leo finds a group of females who welcome him to their little spa 401 00:58:59,202 --> 00:59:03,582 and happily show him the art of exfoliation. 402 00:59:23,977 --> 00:59:25,520 Once they're good and pampered, 403 00:59:26,772 --> 00:59:29,900 Leo tags along with them as they head back to their home island. 404 00:59:40,619 --> 00:59:42,829 The shallows here remind Leo of his old home. 405 00:59:59,346 --> 01:00:05,727 This magnificent extinct volcano is Beagle Island. 406 01:00:05,811 --> 01:00:09,523 Its sheltered sandy shore makes it the perfect home for sea lions. 407 01:00:13,735 --> 01:00:15,779 Leo's hit the jackpot. 408 01:00:17,239 -->
