Plot Synopsis

BORN IN THE ROCKIES is a two-part special that follows the drama as newborns make their way in the Rocky Mountains. From early spring to late summer, new animal mothers endure the trials of raising a family. Cranes migrate north to give birth, a bison mother protects her lambs from threats and young mountain goats learn to climb. Then, young animals face new challenges as winter envelopes the Rocky Mountains, and spring means the end of childhood. A grizzly mom prepares her cubs for hibernation, a mountain lion raises her kittens and a bison calf must learn to survive the snow. Episodes of BORN IN THE ROCKIES premiere on PBS at 8pm on consecutive Wednesdays: November 10 & 17.
