Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:55,222 --> 00:00:58,772
The ancient forests of North America.
2
00:01:01,937 --> 00:01:05,278
Mysterious, wild...
3
00:01:05,774 --> 00:01:07,993
a world of giants...
4
00:01:08,777 --> 00:01:12,281
where great bears and wolves prowl.
5
00:01:25,002 --> 00:01:30,679
But hidden in the shadows there is
a miniature, almost magical world.
6
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,725
A place where nothing
is quite as it seems.
7
00:01:52,904 --> 00:01:56,909
The home of extraordinary, tiny creatures.
8
00:02:04,207 --> 00:02:05,959
It's fall.
9
00:02:06,543 --> 00:02:10,506
And the moment one little chipmunk
has been waiting for.
10
00:02:14,926 --> 00:02:16,599
The arrival...
11
00:02:17,262 --> 00:02:19,640
of acorns.
12
00:02:25,354 --> 00:02:29,900
When you're just 6 inches tall
the world looks very different.
13
00:02:37,908 --> 00:02:40,331
This chipmunk is only 2 months old...
14
00:02:40,577 --> 00:02:44,882
and is already facing what will be
the greatest challenge of his life.
15
00:02:53,548 --> 00:02:58,311
He has to collect enough acorns
to get him through the coming winter.
16
00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:19,957
He'll need at least a hundred
so every acorn counts.
17
00:04:07,497 --> 00:04:12,169
He will only survive the coming winter
by escaping underground.
18
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:22,513
But he can't hibernate like a bear.
19
00:04:22,763 --> 00:04:25,983
His body is too small to store enough fat.
20
00:04:26,475 --> 00:04:29,399
Instead, he needs a store of food.
21
00:04:39,863 --> 00:04:43,825
For his first year
the youngster's done well.
22
00:04:46,578 --> 00:04:49,121
But he's being watched.
23
00:04:59,674 --> 00:05:02,097
This is an older chipmunk...
24
00:05:02,344 --> 00:05:05,564
worldly wise and sneakier too.
25
00:05:15,232 --> 00:05:18,532
Older chipmunks are notorious thieves.
26
00:05:29,538 --> 00:05:34,258
After all, why work when you
can steal from someone else?
27
00:05:43,093 --> 00:05:46,313
For the youngster,
life without his store of acorns...
28
00:05:46,555 --> 00:05:48,808
will spell disaster.
29
00:05:53,937 --> 00:05:56,315
But he isn't the only little creature...
30
00:05:56,565 --> 00:06:00,570
struggling to grow up
in the big, wide world.
31
00:06:08,618 --> 00:06:10,871
On the other side of the continent...
32
00:06:11,121 --> 00:06:15,126
lies one of the harshest
environments on Earth.
33
00:06:46,865 --> 00:06:49,459
The Sonoran Desert...
34
00:06:51,286 --> 00:06:54,256
in America's wild west.
35
00:06:55,332 --> 00:06:58,256
A place of legend.
36
00:07:03,214 --> 00:07:05,182
For the first human settlers...
37
00:07:05,425 --> 00:07:09,430
survival in this unforgiving desert
was on a knife edge.
38
00:07:14,893 --> 00:07:17,191
So imagine how hard it must be...
39
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:21,032
if you stand only 3 inches tall.
40
00:07:32,994 --> 00:07:36,123
A tiny grasshopper mouse.
41
00:07:43,672 --> 00:07:49,556
This caring mother was left to raise
four hungry mouths alone.
42
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:56,777
They're not yet ready
to make it on their own.
43
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,397
Except for one.
44
00:08:01,106 --> 00:08:03,234
The eldest son is bolder...
45
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:07,283
and increasingly drawn
by the call of the wild.
46
00:08:21,543 --> 00:08:25,138
Every night, his mother
goes out to find food.
47
00:08:28,216 --> 00:08:31,891
Hiding in the shadows
is a host of enemies.
48
00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:35,895
Giant enemies.
49
00:08:57,620 --> 00:09:00,340
There are more venomous creatures here...
50
00:09:00,582 --> 00:09:03,551
than anywhere else in the U.S.A.
51
00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:13,554
No place for the timid.
52
00:09:27,817 --> 00:09:30,536
But she's not your average mouse.
53
00:09:44,334 --> 00:09:49,089
It's why old-timers call her
by an earlier name:
54
00:09:52,425 --> 00:09:54,598
Scorpion mouse.
55
00:09:59,849 --> 00:10:03,069
The sting of a scorpion
can kill a human...
56
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:06,531
but a scorpion mouse has a superpower.
57
00:10:10,527 --> 00:10:13,030
Her body is immune to the venom.
58
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:20,249
She specializes in hunting deadly prey.
59
00:10:28,002 --> 00:10:32,306
To defend her territory she stakes
a claim with a warning howl.
60
00:10:50,275 --> 00:10:54,745
This young scorpion mouse
has a lot to live up to.
61
00:10:58,616 --> 00:11:02,621
He knows nothing
of the dangers outside his door.
62
00:11:06,583 --> 00:11:08,677
But barely 3 weeks old...
63
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:12,923
growing curiosity means
he's about to face them.
64
00:12:01,971 --> 00:12:03,723
Back in the wild wood...
65
00:12:03,973 --> 00:12:07,978
the young chipmunk is still preparing
for the coming winter...
66
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:20,658
unaware that his store is being ransacked.
67
00:12:37,882 --> 00:12:40,726
For the thief, it's a dash back home...
68
00:12:45,974 --> 00:12:48,560
to stock up his own store...
69
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:58,112
before heading straight back
to the scene of the crime.
70
00:13:25,054 --> 00:13:29,059
Out in the woods, the young chipmunk
is about to face a new problem...
71
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:32,270
and this one's a giant.
72
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,005
This half-ton moose
is hungry for acorns too.
73
00:14:19,984 --> 00:14:21,782
Arriving back at his burrow...
74
00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:25,908
the young chipmunk
is in for another surprise.
75
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:37,086
His store is now almost empty.
76
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:41,798
And that's not all.
77
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:51,728
The burglar is back...
78
00:14:51,974 --> 00:14:54,898
and he's a seasoned fighter.
79
00:15:10,868 --> 00:15:14,839
An older stronger chipmunk
can kill a youngster.
80
00:15:23,589 --> 00:15:26,885
All he can do is run for his life.
81
00:15:33,641 --> 00:15:35,985
And without a store of acorns...
82
00:15:36,227 --> 00:15:39,197
how will he survive the coming winter?
83
00:16:05,339 --> 00:16:07,387
In the Sonoran Desert...
84
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:12,306
the young grasshopper mouse
faces his first night out alone.
85
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:46,089
There are more rattlesnakes here
than anywhere else on Earth.
86
00:18:01,956 --> 00:18:05,836
The mouse's superfast reactions
have saved him.
87
00:18:10,381 --> 00:18:14,386
But he still has a lot to learn
about the dangers of the desert.
88
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:23,145
For the moment,
a dry riverbed seems a safe refuge.
89
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:39,328
But tonight, a powerful force threatens.
90
00:18:41,078 --> 00:18:45,925
One so rare a mouse could go
its whole life without seeing it.
91
00:19:02,058 --> 00:19:03,480
When the rain arrives...
92
00:19:04,101 --> 00:19:07,981
a year's worth can fall in a single night.
93
00:19:30,294 --> 00:19:33,548
Small animals lose heat
faster than big ones...
94
00:19:33,798 --> 00:19:38,561
and if he's not careful, his wet fur
could lead to a fatal chill.
95
00:20:16,632 --> 00:20:19,010
Months of blazing sun...
96
00:20:19,260 --> 00:20:23,265
have baked Arizona's earth
as hard as stone.
97
00:20:25,349 --> 00:20:27,977
The water can't soak away.
98
00:20:28,602 --> 00:20:31,481
Instead, it gathers momentum...
99
00:20:31,731 --> 00:20:34,359
as it races downhill.
100
00:21:51,435 --> 00:21:56,904
In the northern woods
winter is just a breath away.
101
00:22:16,085 --> 00:22:18,213
Once the freeze sets in...
102
00:22:18,462 --> 00:22:23,093
the young chipmunk won't last a week
without a store of acorns.
103
00:22:27,346 --> 00:22:30,395
And the days are getting shorter.
104
00:22:52,997 --> 00:22:56,126
The urgent need
to replace his stolen store...
105
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:59,504
forces him into unknown territory.
106
00:23:11,849 --> 00:23:14,944
The sound is irresistible.
107
00:23:42,254 --> 00:23:45,758
This is the home of a silent hunter.
108
00:23:48,928 --> 00:23:51,431
A great horned owl.
109
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,980
Over 20 times the size of the chipmunk.
110
00:26:07,149 --> 00:26:10,156
He may have escaped, but his store...
111
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:13,451
is still almost empty.
112
00:26:37,805 --> 00:26:40,979
High noon in the wild west.
113
00:26:49,650 --> 00:26:54,363
So hot, the last drop
of rain is long gone.
114
00:26:56,907 --> 00:27:00,081
The highest temperatures
are down at mouse level...
115
00:27:00,327 --> 00:27:05,375
where it can reach a blistering
140 degrees Fahrenheit.
116
00:27:23,809 --> 00:27:28,773
It's a side of the desert,
a nocturnal mouse should never see.
117
00:27:29,690 --> 00:27:33,194
Except for those washed up, exhausted...
118
00:27:33,443 --> 00:27:36,572
and swept very far from home.
119
00:28:00,637 --> 00:28:01,889
In daytime...
120
00:28:02,139 --> 00:28:05,985
the desert is a real-life Jurassic Park...
121
00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:13,238
where heat brings giants to life.
122
00:28:20,782 --> 00:28:25,875
But this realm of reptiles
is ruled from the air.
123
00:28:36,173 --> 00:28:37,925
Harris hawks.
124
00:28:42,846 --> 00:28:46,775
"Eyes like a hawk"... is no empty phrase.
125
00:28:49,019 --> 00:28:53,615
Their vision is thought to be
eight times as good as ours.
126
00:28:59,696 --> 00:29:03,576
They're the only birds
of prey that hunt in packs.
127
00:29:26,932 --> 00:29:30,602
It's hard to outwit this intelligent team.
128
00:30:04,177 --> 00:30:08,808
Long feather-free legs
are ideal for extracting mice...
129
00:30:09,057 --> 00:30:10,900
from those hard-to-reach places.
130
00:30:29,536 --> 00:30:32,005
But even these clever hunters...
131
00:30:32,247 --> 00:30:35,050
can't solve this puzzle.
132
00:30:41,548 --> 00:30:46,095
The mouse has no choice
but to hold out till dusk.
133
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:20,345
In the forest, the chill in the air...
134
00:31:20,587 --> 00:31:24,512
spells trouble for the smallest creatures.
135
00:31:36,937 --> 00:31:41,362
A tiny body gives no defense
against the cold.
136
00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:50,542
There's only one way
this young chipmunk can survive now.
137
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:55,789
He needs to find his stolen acorns
and get them back.
138
00:32:04,589 --> 00:32:07,308
He's found the thief's burrow.
139
00:32:36,705 --> 00:32:38,753
He's caught in the act.
140
00:32:44,713 --> 00:32:47,216
It's flight or fight.
141
00:32:48,383 --> 00:32:50,385
He chooses fight.
142
00:33:46,608 --> 00:33:48,952
The youngster's won.
143
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:57,787
He can reclaim his stolen acorns...
144
00:33:58,036 --> 00:34:02,041
while the thief nurses his wounded pride.
145
00:34:40,870 --> 00:34:44,374
At last, his store can be returned.
146
00:34:46,334 --> 00:34:49,304
And not a moment too soon.
147
00:34:49,921 --> 00:34:52,344
Winter is here.
148
00:35:22,704 --> 00:35:28,047
The young chipmunk
has made it just in time.
149
00:35:40,096 --> 00:35:43,100
Sundown in the wild west.
150
00:35:59,532 --> 00:36:04,162
Now is the time for the young
scorpion mouse to venture out.
151
00:36:20,595 --> 00:36:21,938
When close enough...
152
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:26,776
a lost mouse can follow
its nose all the way home.
153
00:36:56,756 --> 00:37:02,099
There comes a time when every
youngster faces a difficult choice:
154
00:37:05,557 --> 00:37:07,104
An easy life...
155
00:37:11,146 --> 00:37:13,490
or independence.
156
00:37:16,985 --> 00:37:19,829
Independence has its dangers.
157
00:37:26,494 --> 00:37:30,340
But what would life be
without a challenge?
158
00:37:32,542 --> 00:37:35,421
Even if it means fighting a venomous...
159
00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:37,923
two-headed monster.
160
00:37:40,592 --> 00:37:42,970
He closes his eyes to protect them...
161
00:37:43,219 --> 00:37:46,098
but he can still see with his whiskers.
162
00:38:10,622 --> 00:38:13,592
But as they say, what doesn't kill you...
163
00:38:13,833 --> 00:38:16,295
only makes you stronger.
164
00:38:25,804 --> 00:38:29,809
Their mothers give them
the start they need.
165
00:38:35,271 --> 00:38:41,077
But it's their own experience that
finally makes a man of the mouse.
166
00:38:50,036 --> 00:38:54,298
He's finally ready
to leave his home forever...
167
00:38:54,707 --> 00:38:58,712
and to wander the desert alone.
168
00:39:05,802 --> 00:39:11,275
Compared to us, little creatures
live at breakneck speed.
169
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,565
Their lives are brief, but burn brightly.
170
00:40:04,986 --> 00:40:07,330
Here, in the temperate forest...
171
00:40:07,572 --> 00:40:10,200
the big freeze sets in.
172
00:40:18,082 --> 00:40:22,508
For the large animals,
this is a time of hardship.
173
00:40:43,816 --> 00:40:49,205
For a chipmunk, it's a chance
to take a well-deserved rest.
174
00:40:52,241 --> 00:40:56,246
The start of six months of peaceful sleep.
175
00:40:59,290 --> 00:41:03,090
And when he gets hungry,
he'll wake, briefly...
176
00:41:03,336 --> 00:41:06,840
and feed on his store of acorns.
177
