Japan: Islands of Extremes - Wildest Islands - Go Wild

Japan is chain of around 7,000 islands in the northwest Pacific Ocean. They stretch for over 2,400 kilometres and cover an incredible range of climates, everything from frozen seas and snow capped mountains, to sun kissed beaches and steamy mangroves. “Islands of Extremes” uncovers how animals adapt to survive in them all.
Winter in the central and northern islands can be savage but Japanese snow monkeys endure the bitter cold of Hells Valley on Honshu by basking in warm volcanic pools. Further north in Hokkaido, huge flocks of sea eagles fight to fish among the frozen seas while Japanese Cranes perform dramatic dances among the snow and secretive Serows risk coming out of hiding to forage.
As spring arrives, a wave of cherry blossom sweeps the islands. Warm weather heralds a busy time of year for Japanese Usho fishermen and their unlikely partners, the highly trained sea cormorants that catch fish for them. Giant salamanders patrol the rivers to find food and defend their homes, while Japanese honeybees use a special and grisly self defence tactic when they face attack from a hornet. They dive on the invader in huge numbers and the combined heat of their vibrating bodies roasts it alive.
Summer in the sweltering southern islands couldn’t be more different to winter in the north. Armies of crabs patrol steamy mangroves, while on sub tropical beaches Japanese macaques prove the depth of their intelligence and adaptability by washing sandy food before they eat it. Wide eyed youngsters watch and copy in one of the greatest examples of learnt behaviour seen in the wild.

AMAZING DOCUMENTARY

[@smmusicplus96]

Beautifully presented but I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks the music was overpowering the narration at times.

[@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602]

Japanese culture greatly values the present time. Living only in the now, forgetting the past without worrying about what will happen in the future, distinguishes the Japanese from other people. The intense geological activity of the territory seems to have left deep marks on Japanese culture.

[@Hellnback303]

Loud background music makes very irritating.

[@JB-rt4mx]

AaaHhh Wwwaaahhttt

[@smmusicplus96]

I'm sorry, what was that?! I can't hear over the loud background music.

[@handrail48]

There is an audio problem in this video. The narrator's voice changes volume from one word to the next. He starts the sentence at one volume, then finishes the sentence at a whisper. It is very annoying and unnecessary. Why not just talk normally? Otherwise this could have been a good video.

[@666Buzzsaw]

He is talking normally, it’s a compression issue with the audio track that has occurred during uploading.

[@andrewtorrance7284]

Mackaque, the world's most adaptable primate eh? Doubt it.

[@uzistar7]

terrible music back of the talks very annoying if one want to watch it at night it disturbing the neighbors 😒

[@snagrbuster7343]

The video was truly Great. However, without any sarcasm or disrespect, I must say that I'm shocked!! The metric unit for measuring temperature was Changed from Centigrade to Celsius, 75 Years ago!!. Many children and adults may consider your documentaries, a reference source, for education!! Please make a correction. Thank you 😊

[@angelpup4767]

it wasnt changed from centigrade to celsius, it was renamed from centigrade to celsius in 1968, to honour Anders Celsius the Swedish astronomer who Invented the scale in 1742 and also to remove confusion with the term for one hundredth of a gradian in some languages the unit was called centigrade in several languages (from the Latin centum, which means 100, and gradus, which means steps) before 1968 😁

Animals hunt by necessity right? Humans nowadays hunt for their own evil murderous feelings. These sad humans have mentally handicapped brains and need help fast. To harm anyone or anything is the most pathetic you can ever be as a human.

[@elizabethG633]

They should all be charged with animal abuse. Especially those that filmed this.

[@TzV357]

Yup! Me and you both should get charged too for being an accomplice for watching.
