Beautiful documentary about the beauty and harsh reality of nature.

This show provides a lot of compelling stories about the struggles animals face in various locations around the globe and focuses on the harsh nature of the wild. Nat Geo have been providing such footage for decades (like the cheetah hunting the gazelle) but never focused a whole series (as far as I'm aware) on the hardship of survival.

However, the show also mentions that climate change is contributing to these struggles but offers no proof. The BBC has one that shows the change over time using footage from space. I'm sure Nat Geo can find footage in their archives from say the 80s in the same areas where they filmed this time to compare how nature is now a lot harder on the animals.

So there are two main themes in the show: 1- kill or be killed (which they provide ample evidence of) and, 2- climate change is making everyone's life harder (this is a fact, but they offer no proof).
