Release Notes

This is the 7th of 11 episodes

7. "Great Plains"


Originally transmitted: 12 November 2006 (UK), 8 April 2007 (US)


This episode deals with savanna, steppe, tundra, prairie, and looks at the


importance and resilience of grasses in such treeless ecosystems. Their vast


expanses contain the largest concentration of animal life. In Outer Mongolia, a


herd of Mongolian gazelle flee a bush fire and has to move on to new grazing


but grass can repair itself rapidly and soon reappears. On the Arctic tundra


during spring, millions of migratory snow geese arrive to breed and their young


are preyed on by Arctic foxes. Meanwhile, time-lapse photography depicts moving


herds of caribou as a calf is brought down by a chasing wolf. On the North


American prairie, bison engage in the ritual to establish the dominant males


The Tibetan Plateau is the highest of the plains and despite its relative lack


of grass, animals do survive there, including yak and wild ass. However, the


area's most numerous resident is the pika, whose nemesis is the Tibetan fox. In


tropical India, the tall grasses hide some of the largest creatures and also the


smallest, such as the pygmy hog. The final sequence depicts the African savannah


and elephants that are forced to share a waterhole with a pride of thirty lions


The insufficient water makes it an uneasy alliance and the latter gain the upper


hand during the night when their hunger drives them to hunt and eventually kill


one of the pachyderms. Planet Earth Diaries explains how the lion hunt was


filmed in darkness using infrared light
