    Video: Nature: Born Wild - The First Days of Life (50 min.)  Across the animal kingdom, some of the most essential lessons — and the most extreme challenges — occur in the first moments of life. As animal parents struggle to help their young survive their first days in the wild, they face seemingly insurmountable odds. Understandably, the process of birthing and raising young is one of the most stressful experiences an animal can endure. And it is in these very trials that the most extraordinary glimpses of life in the wild come to light.
