Explores the grit and glory in the wilds of North America, Central America and South America.
Outside our concrete jungles, beyond the strip malls, and just minutes from our own backyard is another world that is thriving, fighting, and surviving. Brawny mountains, burning deserts, tangled forests, and curvaceous coasts. A grizzly bear takedown of helpless elk calves in Yellowstone. Bighorn sheep going head-to-head in battle. Giant Humboldt squid cannibalizing their kin. Mountain lion cubs hunting solo for the first time. The landscapes and wildlife of the Americas are savage, shrewd, and stunning. These are the great outdoors, our wildest frontiers—our Untamed Americas.
