Mirren: Earth is our home.

And yet, there is so much more
about this miraculous world

that we have yet to explore.

A host of fascinating,
mysterious life‐forms.

Transformer bug: TBH,
I don't even know what I am,

or why I can do thi‐i‐i‐s!

Mirren: Humankind has longed
to communicate

with the animal world,

to peel back layers
of evolution



and peer directly
into the minds ‐‐

and souls ‐‐
of our animal brethren.

[ Seals barking ]

Lion: Wait. Humans want
to do what, now?

Monkey: Peer into our minds
and souls?

Elk: Personally,
I'm still hung up

on that "peel back the layers"
part.

Mirren: Now, we have come closer
than ever before

to understanding what
these creatures yearn for...

Monkey: I just want a roof
over my head.

Mirren:
...what they strive for...

Red‐faced vulture: A meal
I don't have to fight for!

Mirren:
...and what they live for.

Brown caterpillar: I just want
to be a branch, baby!



Check it out!

Branch!

Whoo‐hoo!

Mirren: Join us now, as we hear
the universal truths

which echo within every corner
of our miraculous world.

This planet is a feast
for the senses.

But Earth itself
is also a literal feast

for every animal who derives
sustenance from her bounty,

from lush greens
and succulent fruits

to the prey animals feasted
upon by carnivorous alphas.

Which reminds me ‐‐

has anyone ever eaten penguin?

I mean, I‐I'm not saying
I want to eat a penguin myself.

I mean, of course I don't, but
I'm just a little bit curious

about what they taste like.

But n‐not enough to eat one.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
They're much too cute.

But...I might lick a penguin.

We travel now

Um...sorry.

Mirren:
An animal's place within the
social structures of the wild

is reflected in how
they present themselves.

The silverback gorilla
thumps his mighty chest

to display dominance.

The peacock unfurls
its resplendent plumage

to lure a mate.

And if you're my producer,
Jerry,

then you come to work
in flip‐flops

and a stained hoodie
because, evidently,

it's no big whoop to work
alongside Dame Helen Mirren.

Jerry: I'm sorry.
It was laundry day.

Oh, Jerry, please.

You've got those same
cargo shorts

in three different colors.

Tomorrow, you wear a tuxedo
or you don't bother coming in.

Yes, ma'am.

The melanistic coyote

must always present itself
as a cunning alpha predator,

who may be watching.

Wolf: Water shooting

Were you just frolicking?

No.

Huh.
'Cause it looked like

you were about to frolic
in the mist.

No, I was not.
I'm a noble wolf.

I don't frolic.

Boy, you were frolicking
right near that mist.

You are mistaken.

I don't frolic, I don't cavort,
and I do not scamper.

Hey, hey, relax.

Everyone deserves
to frolic now and then.

No, no, no. No!
Not me!

I got important stuff to do ‐‐
hunt, forage, strike fear.

I gotta go

Mirren:
There is no environment on Earth

as mysterious as the ocean.

Nebulous, impenetrable,

and really, really wet.

The seas contain countless
fascinating creatures,

nearly all of them
fairly gross to look at.

I mean, it's just a bunch
of underwater bugs and snakes

and things with pinchy claws.

Let's just say you're not gonna
see me snorkeling anytime soon,

so hard pass on oceans.

Sorry.

Sharing an already
mystifying habitat

can make for strange bedfellows,

as with the sand goby

Announcer:
And now another chapter

from the legendary
fantasy series...

Bird: Alas! You have reached
the Keeper of the Marsh.

Thou shalt not step foot
into this swampy morass

until you pass a series
of brain testing conundrums.

Only the strongest of mind
may enter.

Bird: Oh, um, okay.
Hi.

I didn't realize this
marsh had a keeper.

It does!
'Tis me.

If you'd like to proceed,

you must first solve
these riddles three.

First things first
is riddle number 1,

the most difficult riddle
under the sun.

What is the name of the street
that you grew up on?

That's the riddle?
[ Scoffs ]

That sounds more like
a privacy question.

I don't like giving personal
information to strangers.

Nope! You have failed my first
puzzle, but do not fret.

There is more to do.

It is time to hear
riddle number 2.

What is your father's
middle name?

Okay, that's definitely one
of my privacy questions.

These are not riddles.

Are you trying to, like,
hack into one of my accounts?

I‐I know not
what you speak of.

I am merely the humble
Keeper of the Marsh.

It is time
for riddle number 3,

and this one will be
more riddley.

There is one man who
can only tell the truth

and another man
who can only tell lies.

They are travelling together
across a river by boat.

What are
the last four digits

of your
Social Security number?

Okay,
I'm done with this.

Uh, uh,
bonus riddle points

if you also tell me
the first three digits

and the middle two digits.

What are you doing?

Mirren: We may assume
that social niceties

play no role
in an animal interaction,

but, in fact, they do.

From frogs
with personal‐space issues

to a llama
with a staring problem.

I mean, honestly,
take a picture, champ.

It'll last longer.

Civility is a factor
in all relationships on Earth.

We must consider whether our
intrusion into another's space

can disrupt a delicate
social balance,

like when a giant river otter
crosses paths with a leopard

on the banks
of the mighty Amazon.

Leopard: Oh, is that salmon?

Animal communities
are only as strong

as their weakest member,

which is probably why meerkats
can never really pull together

a competitive softball team.

Plus, they don't have
opposable thumbs,

which makes most sports
pretty tricky.

Amid the stresses of life
in the wild,

collective unification can be as
impactful as it is challenging,

as we'll see
with a teeming ant colony

on the forest floor
of Central Africa.

Bill: With a breaking story
from the WNC News Desk,

I'm Bill Talon.

The labor stoppage continues,

as the ants demand
that all anthill work

now be done remotely,

which, honestly, kinda goes
against the whole

ant colony vibe.

Clearly, these guys
are a bit confused.

Ch'ant leader:
What do we want?!

Together: Ants!

When do we want them?!

Ants!

Beetle: Wow! Message

of social expectations

Mirren: As we explore and
interpret the animal kingdom,

we may be tempted
to paint certain species

with the same broad,
reductive strokes.

All lions are proud.

All swans are flatulent.

And all toucans love
sugary breakfast cereals.

It can be easy to forget
that these species

are comprised
of individual creatures,

each with
a distinct personality,

and with their own fascinating
way of expressing themselves.

As we'll see with these
ostentatious caterpillars

in the jungles of Brazil.

I didn't see the movie.

I was waiting

For animals and humans,

clustering together promotes

why I, of all people,

would lend my voice and my name

stunningly simple.

I have gambling debts.

But there is another reason
that's simpler still.

I possess a deep, abiding love
for the animal world.

And there is one species
for whom [chuckles]

if you'll pardon the pun,

I will always stick my neck out.

The "guy‐raffe."

I've always loved guy‐raffes.
