[♪ eerie music playing]

Here animals with great powers
and abilities have awoken human admiration

and veneration
since prehistoric times, until now.

These creatures still roam Iberia today,
propagating their legends,

as they star in fascinating
and surprising stories.

They are the wild icons of Iberia.

[wind howling]

Here we are in the high mountain areas
of the Iberian Peninsula.

[wind whooshing]

The most jagged mountain range,
where the wind lives,

is inhabited by an animal
which has been an object of veneration

especially during prehistoric times.

Their haughty and bulky appearance
has always awoken human admiration,

as testified by numerous cave paintings.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

It's the Iberian Ibex.

They are found nowhere else in the world
except the Iberian Peninsula.

Their tough appearance and powerful horns

have always been a cause
for fascination in humans.

The males have horns which grow larger
and stronger with time.

These are the weapons which they'll use
when competing for a mate.

This will happen in autumn,
but now it's springtime.

Until then, the males will be living
separately from the females.

The females don't need
such powerful horns.

[birds chirping]

[♪ tranquil music playing]

It is breeding season,

and the Iberian Ibex uses
a defense strategy

which is unique in the whole world.

A large number of females
have come together

to give birth to their young
on an inaccessible mountain summit.

Here, they have formed a nursery.

There are almost 50 kids.

This is the first time a nursery
has been filmed from the inside.

They are so happy and playful.

[♪ inspirational music playing]

The same strategy is always used.

They will remain
on this jagged mountain summit

until the kids are old enough
to consume plants.

For now,
they will only be feeding on milk.

While some of the mothers look after
all the young on the summit,

the others feed in the surrounding areas.

They take turns in watching over the kids.

During this stage of the breeding phase,

the mothers are very distrustful
and always on full alert.

[♪ inspirational music playing]

Three of them are always together.
They seem inseparable.

They ignore the danger
even though it is just below their feet.

With one slip,
they could fall to their death.

However, these risks
are part of their learning journey.

It is possible that very soon
they will need to run along the cliffs

to escape from predators,

and it is best that they learn
these skills as soon as possible.

One of the predators which could hunt
any of these three small kids

also lives in these high mountain areas.

[birds croaking]

Many Spanish and Portuguese coats of arms

have used the image
of this great bird of prey,

as it is a heraldic symbol
of power and respect.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

It's the golden eagle.

Their wingspan can reach a length
of two meters.

Their powerful eyesight and tenacity
have always caused admiration.

Although during springtime
they can hunt young Iberian Ibex,

their most common prey
are usually rabbits.

This male golden eagle is flying precisely
towards the summit

where these three kids live.

[♪ tense music playing]

Some griffon vultures have detected
his movement.

They don't know how to hunt,
because they feed on carrion.

It wouldn't be the first time
that they attempt to steal the prey

off a golden eagle.

In his trajectory,
he flies over a fertile valley.

[tense music continues]

He has managed to spot some rabbits
from a distance of two kilometers.

This is a good opportunity.

[music swells]

[rabbit whimpers]

Some of the vultures won't lose sight
of the eagle.

The rabbit is a very small prey
for the vultures.

Regardless,
the male eagle protects his prey

from the silhouettes of the huge vultures,
which are much larger than him.

It is springtime, and his mate should be
in the nest with the eaglets, but no.

The nest where they always breed is empty.

Something is happening.
The female is still nowhere to be seen.

But when it comes to golden eagles,
you never know.

One could expect almost anything.

For the moment, he continues to eat
while the sunset shines its last rays.

[owl hooting]

In the forests of the valley
lives a creature with no shadow.

It is more stealthy than silence itself,

and has captivated mankind
in the Iberian Peninsula for centuries.

Its undetectable movement,
cunningness and mottled fur,

have amazed
the Christian knights of Spain,

who often adopted its image as an emblem

for their homes
and their chivalric orders,

also being the reason for their presence
on engravings and in manuscripts.

[♪ ethereal music playing]

It's the genet.

She is no threat to the kids,

but is to other smaller animals.

She is no larger than one meter in size,
and barely reaches three kg in weight.

She usually lives in solitude
and is predominantly nocturnal.

Her sense of smell is extremely keen.

She is tracking rodents
or large invertebrates.

Even when she climbs up a tree
she makes not the slightest sound.

[owls hooting from distance]

Someone is watching her.

It's her daughter,
who is almost as large as her.

She always tries to stand
behind her mother.

She was born one year ago

and doesn't have much time left
of staying under her mother's care.

Soon she will have to become independent.

She's taken some arthropods by surprise.

For now, she won't miss a single detail
of anything her mother does.

They don't live alone in this forest.
Somebody is approaching.

A beech marten. Two of them.

They're a couple.

These hunters are strong competitors
of the genet.

They are also very bad-tempered.

They can smell the genets.

The mother can also smell
the beech martens.

They have spotted each other.

Tension is building up.

The mother takes position
and firmly stands her ground,

while her daughter is stunned.

[♪ tense music playing]

She approaches them decisively.

Even though there are two of them,

the beech martens prefer to avoid
confrontation

with a genet which is protecting a kitten.

She ensures that they've left.

But peace is not yet restored.

The young genet approaches her mother...

but receives a threat.

Maybe the tension
has triggered the decision

of expelling her from the territory.

The night stretches on.

[croaking]

A while later,
the young genet returns very carefully.

She hasn't quite understood the reason

for her mother's aggressive reaction
towards her.

Her mother continues to eat.

She is attacked again and again.

The peaceful badger is a witness to this
transcendent moment for the young genet.

She begs to stay. But there is no mercy.

It's the way of the wild.

[♪ tense music playing]

She is completely confused.

She is bitten very hard.

Even the badger is startled.

One last try.

She gives up.

The hardest phase of her life
is about to begin.

We'll check up on her later on.

The sunlight is tired
of waiting to come out.

Genets, beech martens
and badgers all disappear

and now the mountain is filled
with the chirping of love songs.

[chirping]

Some ears are alert for something else.

Here resides an animal

which has left a footprint
in all existing cultures and civilizations

in the Iberian Peninsula.

They have been
the greatest archetype of ferocity.

They are the most intimidating image
of leadership and beauty.

In the Iberian Peninsula, their image
has been used in all types of equipment

and objects related to war and power.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

It is the Iberian Wolf.

They are outlaws
who have almost been pushed to extinction,

however in the last decades

their populations
have been slowly recovering,

in Spain and in Portugal.

This pack of wolves is quite numerous.

A pack of nine individuals

is a significantly large one
for Iberian Wolves.

As always, one alpha couple dominates
and leads the pack.

In this case the alpha female,
who we will call Queen,

has an especially strong character.

The Iberian Wolf is an apex predator,
feared by all animals.

They have complex social relationships
and an established hierarchy.

The wolves' body language
is very rich and varied.

Queen is observing a young male,
probably her own son,

who appears to make boastful gestures
before her.

[♪ tense music playing]

They approach each other.

[growling]

She puts him in his place.

The upright position of Queen's tail
is a clear sign of dominance.

The young male has laid on his back.

This is a gesture of submission
and a plead for mercy.

[growling]

The alpha male requests his partner
to stop the punishment,

but Queen still continues.

He insists.

She decides that the discipline lesson
is finally over.

The young male approaches his mother
to ask for recognition,

but his father deters him
by pushing him away.

It is best not to extend the conflict
any further.

And peace returns to the pack once more,
which is its usual state.

Although it might not last very long.

In the same mountain range,
not too far away,

resides another pack of wolves.

It is led by an old male
who we will call Scar Ear.

Something has just happened

which will change the future
for both packs.

Part of the Scar Ear's territory
has been destroyed in a wildfire.

[birds croaking]

Many of their usual prey
have moved away to other areas,

and now these wolves need to expand
their territory.

One morning,
they decide to undertake an expedition.

[♪ tense music playing]

All is new to them.

They inspect everything.

In this forest,
they detect some unsettling smells.

They're in the territory
of Queen's wolf pack.

However, Scar Ear's pack likes this area,

so the alpha female marks the territory.

Scar Ear's pack has crossed the line.
Now there's no going back.

Meanwhile, as the tension builds
in this territory,

there is news
from the Iberian Ibex nursery.

The kids have been secluded
in an inaccessible rocky mountain summit

for several weeks,

and now it is time for them
to begin to eat grass.

Therefore, they must descend
to the mountainside

where the vegetation is found.

[♪ joyful music playing]

From now on, the nursery is broken up
and each mother looks after her own young.

The inseparable trio splits up,

however two of them will still be seeing
each other every now and then,

because they are lucky enough to have
mothers who are related to each other,

and decide to spend this phase
of their lives in the same area.

[♪ tranquil music playing]

They adore each other.

But they won't always be together anymore.

Something catches one of the kid's
attention, who we will call Restless.

For the first time
they are seeing two adult males.

They are the largest in the area.

They don't understand
why they have such large horns.

Soon they will find out.

They will lose their fear eventually.

For now, both mothers go separate ways
with their respective young.

Restless watches
how her mother eats leaves.

She tries them for the first time.

Even though she has fed on plants,

milk will still be her main source
of nourishment for the next few weeks.

[♪ tranquil music playing]

Her inseparable friend, who we will call
Tranquil is resting by her mother.

A visit every now and again
is always nice.

Our young genet is out looking for food.

She hasn't waited for night time,
as often happens in this specie.

She is very hungry and her mother
is no longer around to help.

She is roaming
with no particular direction.

Insects are the easiest resource,

but they can't be
her main source of sustenance.

[♪ eerie music playing]

Night time comes
and maybe this way things will get easier,

because other creatures come out
when the sky gets dark.

Wood mice are one of the genet's
most common prey.

[music turning tense]

The mouse perceives something.

The young genet follows its trace.

Its smell is very strong now.

It must be very close.

She remembers watching
how her mother hunted mice.

She is so silent she can't even hear
her own footsteps.

The time has come.

[mouse squeaks]

[mouse squeaks]

This will certainly give her
a great confidence boost.

[bird of prey screeches]

[squawking]

In Queen's wolf pack,

the alpha couple has momentarily
separated themselves from the pack.

She is pregnant.

They're searching for a den
where she can give birth to the pups.

They are thrilled.

[♪ tense music playing]

Meanwhile, the rest of the members
of Queen's pack

decide to go out hunting
without the alpha couple.

A group of deer.

They've been detected.
The deer have smelled them.

And the vultures are always watching.

[music swells]

They've failed.

The absence of the alpha couple
is evident.

A roe deer, which is a lot smaller,
would have been more attainable.

In the forest,

the alpha couple have immediately stopped
searching for the breeding den.

The male smells something he doesn't like.

Queen has identified it too.

What they are smelling
are the signals left by Scar Ear's pack.

This is a serious threat,
because they are direct competitors.

They spend several hours smelling
and marking the area.

Queen is outraged and worried.

Not very far away from here,

the members of Queen's pack
have managed to hunt a roe deer.

In the absence of the alpha couple,
the young defiant male,

who challenged Queen a few days ago,
imposes his rule.

[snarls]

[snarls]

He has managed
to make the others back off.

The alpha couple returns.

But the young male, who already went
through one punishment from his mother,

stands firmly.

Queen, who is already tense and angry,
reacts immediately.

[snarls]

Her son stands his ground defiantly,
but only for a few seconds.

The young male, with his tail between
his legs, asks for mercy once again.

[snarling]

[snarling]

[whimpering]

Similarly to what happened earlier,

the alpha male approaches them
to bring peace once more.

She walks away, raising her tail
to remind them that she is the Queen.

[birds chirping]

For another iconic animal
of the Iberian Peninsula,

it seems that there is no truce either.

The male golden eagle has gone out
to hunt again.

We haven't seen the female
for several weeks now.

He flies precisely towards the mountains

where the two Iberian Ibex mothers
and their kids live.

There, the kid who we call Tranquil
follows her mother around an open area.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Her friend, who we call Restless,
has found something nearby.

She plays on her own
while her mother watches over her.

The other female continues to eat
in the open area,

and without realizing it,
she separates herself from her daughter.

The eagle has come by to look for kids.

And the vultures, as always,
are watching everything that goes on.

The mother of Restless sounds the alarm.

They run into the forest for protection.

He must look for another victim.

[squawking]

He's seen Tranquil,
who is separate from her mother.

This is a magnificent opportunity
for the eagle.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

The death is almost instantaneous.

[chattering]

He wants to fly away with her,
but she's too heavy.

There is nothing more the mother can do.

The vultures see the carcass
as an opportunity to eat.

He wants to drag it to a more hidden place
to avoid the vultures,

but finds it very difficult.

[♪ tense music playing]

He calls the female,
who is larger and stronger than him,

but she is still nowhere to be seen.

Restless hears these sounds in wonder.

Her mother knows
that something terrible has happened.

The male has stopped dragging the kid.

In the sky a powerful cry is heard.

[eagle screaming]

A young golden eagle bursts
into the scene.

It's her daughter.

They must have bred in a different nest,
possibly on a hidden cliff face.

The young eagle cries for help because
she feels intimidated by the vultures.

[screams]

But her father simply looks at the horizon

because the solution is approaching fast.

It's the female.
She is stronger and larger than the male.

But the vultures won't leave.

At least with her mother nearby
she is calm enough to begin to eat.

Some vultures begin to descend.
The mother threatens them.

[screams]

She won't allow them
to steal the prey off her daughter.

[♪ tense music playing]

The vulture is badly injured.

The young eagle will continue
eating calmly.

Her parents won't go anywhere
until she has finished her meal.

Today has been an intense day.

[squawking]

[crickets chirping]

On this same night, the young genet
begins her exploring session.

It seems that she has settled
in this area.

It's not very far from the territory
of her mother,

who expelled her a few weeks ago
so she would become independent.

This place has water available
and a dense forest with abundant food.

It seems perfect.

She hears something.

It's a beech marten, her main competitor.

But she's not scared anymore.

She won't abandon this area

even if she has to confront
this adversary.

She's seen something up in a tree.

It's a nest.

She sees no adult birds around.
It seems to be abandoned.

However, the eggs are still there.
They're a tasty meal.

She eats some but leaves silently.

Why is she leaving the rest of the eggs?

The beech marten wants to take
this opportunity.

But soon she returns, and with company.

A young male
who she must have joined not long ago.

She goes first and climbs very cautiously.

She shows him the food
and leaves him alone so he can eat.

[♪ tranquil music playing]

One of the eggs moves down
his esophagus whole.

She is little over one year old,

and the young genet
seems to have already found a mate.

Over 1,000 years ago,

this specie baffled humans
in the Iberian Peninsula

for having such heightened senses
and the ability to live almost invisibly.

[rain falling]

The young genet will carry on her lineage,

reenforcing herself
as one of the most fascinating wild icons

of the Iberian Peninsula.

Autumn has come to the Iberian Peninsula.

[birds chirping]

The kid called Restless
has grown up a little more.

In this season, the Iberian Ibexes
all group together again.

They do so in high and open areas.

She follows her mother
and will stay with her

until the next breeding season in spring.

She is surprised to see so many males.

Mating season has arrived.

[huffs]

Out of all the males, two of them
are especially large and strong.

Maybe they are the same ones she saw
when she descended from the summit

where she was born.

But now they look different.

Their fur is much darker. Like war paint.

She also observes
that these males are acting strange.

It's the mating ritual.

None of these two large males will dare
touch her mother or any other female

unless they give their consent.

Both males want to mate with her mother,
but only one of them will be allowed to.

Restless doesn't like
how her mother is being pestered.

We'll call the one
with the darkest fur Black.

His main rival is on his right,
whose name is Red.

As days go by,
the breeding season intensifies

and the tension between the two males
becomes unsustainable.

The mother of the kid can't decide
between them.

But only one can be her mate.

So Red makes a decision.

He initiates the battle.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

The blows are very hard,
but none of them back down.

Red wants to push Black off the cliff.

Kill him whatever it takes.

Now it is Black's turn.

But Red gives up. Fighting against Black
is like charging at a wall.

Restless is expectant.

Black has won the battle,
and will expel Red far away from here.

But the winner wants his prize.

Restless' mother is now receptive.

[♪ triumphant music playing]

Copulation between the Iberian Ibex lasts
only a moment. But there will be more.

Restless has a few hours of solitude
ahead of her.

They'll allow her
to assimilate all that she's seen.

In another area of the mountain range,
tension is also building up.

Queen's Wolf pack, who were worried about
the invasion of Scar Ear's Wolf pack,

are very skittish again.

This time they haven't needed
to use their sense of smell,

because they can see one of them.

These foreign wolves are looking to extend
their territory because of the wildfire,

and they like this area.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

They go straight for the intruder,
to kill him if they can.

But more members of Scar Ear's pack
are approaching.

Meanwhile, all of Queen's pack
are trying to kill the foreigner.

[whimpering]

[growling]

[snarling, barking]

Scar Ear has arrived.

He directly attacks the alpha male
of Queen's pack.

He wants to break his spine.

[growling]

Scar Ear isn't satisfied
with only defeating his rival.

He wants more.

But Queen counterattacks
and goes for Scar Ear's alpha female.

[♪ tense music playing]

[whimpering, growling]

[snarling]

Scar Ear cannot fight against all of them.

They are losing the battle.

Scar Ear's pack end up retreating.

Pack members on both sides
have suffered serious injuries.

The alpha male in Queen's pack
has also been seriously wounded,

but they've managed
to conserve their territory.

Queen marks the ground with her scent.

Everything returns to normal.

[whimpering]

Today the Iberian Wolf has reminded us
of their strong,

ferocious and tenacious image,

which has impressed mankind
in the Iberian Peninsula

throughout the millennia.

The obstinacy and vigor
of the Iberian Ibex,

which shocked humans in prehistoric times,
will also continue to manifest daily.

The genet, this mysterious,
cunning and undetectable creature,

will continue roaming the forests
like a ghost,

a beautiful yet enigmatic phantom.

And the golden eagle,

symbol of dominion
and power for many cultures

which have existed
in the Iberian Peninsula

will continue to exalt the skies
and write memorable legends.

[♪ triumphant music playing]

They are the wild icons of Iberia.
When reality surpasses the legend.

[♪ dramatic music playing]
