About The Wildlife Of The Alps and The River Rhine | Germany's Underworld

Germany's rivers, streams, and lakes behold an entire secret world hidden beneath the surface with creatures both big and small. From the Berchtesgaden National Park in the Alps to the River Rhine, this documentary explores how water flows. In the Spring when the sun melts the snow, the glaciers melt from below forming an underground cave, creating the ice back river. This river flows down the mountain leading to some of the highest waterfalls in Germany, flowing down through limestone creeks and into fjords. Explore the wildlife that lives in this water and see this rarely filmed environment!

In the heart of western Germany in the mountainous region of Bergisches Land, lies the Wupper, a river tributary which is part of the Rhine. The Wupper was once a great part of the industrialisation movement, but has now underdone a large regeneration project and is thriving with all kinds of wildlife such as owls, kingfishers, salamanders, foxes and crayfish.

German Wildlife's Spring Awakening | Germany's Underworld

In the middle of winter in the highlands of Germany, snow covers the ground and the lakes are frozen over, While eagles penetrate the ice to try and find food, most of the marine life like carp and catfish lie dormant until it warms up again, with the exception of the pike who hunts all year round. As the winter comes to an end, we head towards the North Sea where the snow begins to melt, and encounter the wildlife awakening again for Spring, from toads and snakes, to beavers looking for their latest meal.

Glacier Bay National Park - Pristine Beauty in Alaska's South | Wildlife Documentary Located in Alaska's most south-easterly point is a natural refuge - Glacier Bay National Park - a wilderness of breathtaking beauty, where nature's entire repertoire is represented: snow-capped mountains, fjords, forests, beaches, bays and above all glaciers, in addition to a significant number of wild animals. Glacier Bay is a paradise for researchers. There is hardly anywhere else in the world where wild animals can be observed in their unspoiled habitats. Biologist Chris Gabriel has documented the migration of the humpback whale for more than 30 years and can distinguish the animals by their caudal fins. Park Ranger Tania Lewis negotiates the mountains in order to encounter her fosterlings: she has been monitoring the bear population in Glacier Bay since 2001. The photographer Kim Heacox is continually in search of the most impressive motifs of the park. Glacier Bay is one of the last unspoiled paradises on earth; a natural work of art which represents fascination and challenge for both humans and animals. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free

The Wild Soul of the Everglades National Park | Wildlife Documentary The Everglades are a network of wetlands and forests fed by a river flowing 0.25 miles per day out of Lake Okeechobee, southwest into Florida Bay. The park is the most significant breeding ground for tropical wading birds in North America and contains the largest mangrove ecosystem in the Western Hemisphere. Thirty-six threatened or protected species inhabit the park, including the Florida panther, the American crocodile, and the West Indian manatee, along with 350 species of birds, 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish, 40 species of mammals, and 50 species of reptiles. The majority of South Florida's fresh water, which is stored in the Biscayne Aquifer, is recharged in the park. Most national parks preserve unique geographic features. Everglades National Park was the first created to protect a fragile ecosystem. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary NATURE is passionate about sharing the beauty and diversity of our world through high-quality documentaries available for free on the original video platform.
