Charred trees lay scattered on denuded ridges, looking as if God played pick-up sticks. A skinny wolf slinks by and peers over its shoulder to ensure it's traveling solo, making it, yes, the lone wolf.
The roar of water mutes all other sounds, and rounding a corner of ancient boulder, the Undine Falls comes into sight. This one spot alone in Yellowstone National Park could make anyone appreciate Earth, which National Geographic Channel does in its four-hour miniseries "Untamed Americas," airing Sunday and Monday, June 10 and 11.
"So what's not to love? It's continents of extremes," producer Karen Bass says in a Montana restaurant after spending two days with journalists in Yellowstone. "The good news is you have some fantastic extremes because what you want is the epic extremes these creatures face. You have an epic landscape and intimate stories of survival. My mission was to get the epic and the intimate.

Josh Brolin is just right as the narrator of the four segments, which feature exquisite footage of North, Central and South America. Divided into episodes “Mountains,” “Deserts,” “Coasts” and “Forests,” the HD miniseries — simulcast on Nat Geo Wild and Nat Geo [...]...

National Geographic's "Untamed Americas" is a gorgeous new high-def wildlife miniseries, narrated by Josh Brolin, and we've got the exclusive first look and the official premiere date. The four-hour series will premiere over two nights, Sun., June 10 and Mon., June 11, 9 p.m. Et/Pt.
The series -- which took more than two years to shoot and landed the crews in hurricanes, subzero temperatures and extreme heat with 100 percent humidity -- takes viewers through North, Central and South America, two continents spanning from Alaska to the tip of Patagonia.
Split into four parts (Mountains, Deserts, Forests and Coasts), the cameras captured rare moments with the wildlife that lives in the expanses between our sprawling cities.
Like most nature documentaries, we'll see both extremes -- the good and the bad, the adorable creatures and the ruthless wild hunters, life and death.
Some highlights include:
