Animal Childhood
Season 33 Episode 15 | 53m 10sVideo has Closed Captions
The trials and tribulations of young animals all over the world.
In every animal’s life, there comes a time when it must stand on its own two feet, so to speak, and face the world alone. For a few, this happens just moments after birth, with no life lessons from parents to help them, no time to hone their survival skills. Others have the advantage of home schooling under the watchful eye of a mentor or family member.
