Kangaroo Valley

00:00:26 The wilds of Australia...

00:02:54 Mala prepares to leave the safety of the pouch.

00:05:57 Miro has been learning how to hunt.

00:10:00 And it shows.

00:12:26 She's the youngest joey,

00:14:28 ...he's been out exploring the world.

00:16:40 And he's very protective of his prized patch.

00:19:32 A valley full of song

00:22:32 the air fills with swarms of biting insects.

00:25:02 As night falls, a spectacular new world emerges.

00:28:18 Scales, fur, and feathers absorb ultraviolet light

00:31:53 There are several moves to be mastered.

00:33:51 Bamir's stiff-legged walk is kangaroo for "back down."

00:36:32 a warning can whisper through the trees.

00:40:08 an adult female.

00:45:39 And then, finally...

00:48:34 Many joeys will not survive the winter.

00:52:43 Mala will need all her resolve to survive until spring.

00:56:41 seizes the moment to collect building material for his nest.

00:59:19 The female will choose the male who can stay in control of the train.

01:02:25 One day, it will be Mala's turn to join in these rituals.

01:04:06 This grass thief seems different.

01:09:40 Miro was driven by a primal urge, hunger.

01:12:50 in this secret valley of great wonder and magic.
