  Wonderful documentary. I went to Yellowstone in 1989, a year after the great fire of `88. It burned more than a million acres. However, there was much of the park that was left untouched. Today, it's difficult to see the moonscapes that appeared when I went in 89. Yellowstone is an amazingly beautiful place. I hope to visit there again soon as my kids live in the southern part of Montana, near the north border of the park. If I had 2 lifetimes I probably wouldn't be able to see all there is to that wonderful, magical place.

  Thanks to conservation efforts, the grizzly bear’s numbers have increased from 200, when this documentary was made, to about 728 today. They’ve increased their habitat by roughly 50%. That is an amazing and awesome thing to know.

  I’ve been working in Yellowstone these past couple summers. I’ll be joining NPS for the first time this year. It truly is an incredible place to work and live there.

  I just found this documentary and it's great. Even though it's a little old it is still good. I love watching wildlife. My favorite is bear cubs. The first year ones. They are so little and trying to keep up with mama bear while trying not to get in trouble. I could watch them all day. Thank you for sharing.  Just beautiful.

  If we all would take this time to learn about our animals and there habitat instead of killing them this would be a great world. Thank you for this experience and beautiful art.

  As for when this was shot, I suspect at the most two years after the fires of 88. No mention of the re-introduction of the wolf. Also, Yellowstone Lodge was almost lost in the fires of 88. But a shift in the wind is all that saved it. I worked in Yellowstone the summers of 85, 91 and 95. It is a wonderful place.

  Ah yes, Critter Jams. Also when I worked in Yellowstone, I found you you can ride a Mountain Bike through a buffalo herd. I did it, several times. I so want to go back, for a long visit. Great documentary thanks for posting it.

  Hey, thanks for posting this video. I love the BBC documentary films about wildlife and nature, but this one is awesome. It reminds me of when I was kid watching shows like this on pbs. My mom couldnt pull me away from tv when I was watching shows like this. The older style of the video brings back nice memories, without a British accent. (No offense British) I do love BBC. Classic narrative that seems to be long gone. There is a young guy on youtube who has a wonderful voice, and he has the ability for older film narration and story telling that sounds so nostalgic. Thanks again.
