Dynasties - First Season English Subtitles

1
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,232
The family is one
of the most powerful forces in nature.

2
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,712
Family life is full of wonder...

3
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,719
Beauty...

4
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,955
And drama.

5
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,672
For the past four years,

6
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,880
we've been following some of the most
celebrated and endangered species

7
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,189
on Earth.

8
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,359
We follow their fortunes from here
on the plains of Zimbabwe,

9
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,233
to the jungles of India.

10

1
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,551
Autumn in Atka Bay, Antarctica.

2
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,592
just a few weeks ago, this was open sea.

3
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,558
Now, a new frozen landscape is forming.

4
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,391
This new world appears devoid of life.

5
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,832
Well, almost.

6
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,030
An emperor penguin.

7
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,713
And he is not alone.

8
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,957
Thousands of emperors
are coming to this frozen bay.

9
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,990
They are here because the new ice
provides the safest place

10
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,559

1
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,315
Lions are the very image of majesty.

2
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,233
And indeed, of Africa itself.

3
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,396
Their strength lies in the power
of the pride.

4
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,957
They're a tight-knit family.

5
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,393
Lions have ruled the Savannas
for millennia.

6
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:52,711
And yet, within the last 20 years or so,

7
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,792
the numbers have fallen by almost half.

8
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,314
Our team has spent two years

9
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,677
following perhaps the most
famous lion family of all.

10

1
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,116
Here, in the heart of Africa,

2
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:25,390
lives one of this great continent's most
extraordinary yet misunderstood animals.

3
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,918
Animals that only thrive
through remarkable team work,

4
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,029
and through the strength and skill
of their leaders.

5
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,076
Painted wolves, once known
as Cape Hunting Dogs,

6
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,471
are one of Africa's
most threatened predators.

7
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,872
Their packs require huge areas
of territory in which to hunt.

8
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,591
But today, because of human pressure,
their world is shrinking fast.

9

1
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,037
Tigers are the largest, most powerful,

2
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,392
and perhaps the most loved
of all the big cats.

3
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,833
Yet, over the past century,

4
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,790
their numbers have declined by 95%.

5
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,029
Our team has spent two years
following one tigress

6
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,397
with her cubs
as she attempts to rear them.

7
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,391
Her problems come
not just from the natural world,

8
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,949
but from having to do so
at close quarters with us.

9
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,912
