Animal Babies: First Year on Earth

In Kenya, a new-born elephant calf Safina is learning how to keep up with her fast moving herd. In Sri Lanka, one-week-old Jazir has to quickly learn the ropes of a primate society that is enmeshed with the world of people.

From three months old, animal babies move independently, exposing them to environmental challenges and food struggles. A three-month-old sea otter pup must learn what's safe to eat.

Baby animals approach the end of their first year of life, branching away from their mothers and exploring the world on their own.
