Mediterranean: Life Under Siege
Old Age and Rebirth
S1 E5:
For some of the animals that live in the Mediterranean region, reaching old age can result in a death sentence. This astonishing natural history documentary follows the progress of an aging flamingo, too old to find a mate, who is then shunned by the flock and open to predatory threat. Bottlenose dolphins are more close-knit and actually help and protect their elderly relatives.
