White Falcon, White Wolf

Season 27 Episode 1 | 53m 10sVideo has Closed Captions

Gyrfalcons and wolves struggle to raise their young on Ellesmere Island.

On Canada's Ellesmere Island, the race is to raise families. Last summer, a nesting gyrfalcon pair failed to raise any young. The rare Arctic wolves rely on every member of the pack to chase and bring down the prey that keep them alive. For the wolves and the falcons, as well for the snowy owls, lemmings, foxes and hares who share this fragile ecosystem, the future is never certain.
