"The Wild Canadian Year showcases the most amazing and rare natural wonders of Canada. From the filmmakers of the acclaimed series Wild Canada, this new five-part legacy series views Canada's extraordinary wildlife through the lens of its four distinct seasons. Weather seasonality defines and drives the lives of every creature on earth. Humans, plants and wildlife alike must navigate the changing conditions during our planet's annual trip around the sun. In some places the effects of the seasons are especially pronounced. As all Canadians can attest, one of those places is Canada. From lightning storms and tornadoes whipping across the Canadian prairies to worlds buried beneath metres of snow, this series documents the natural wonders and wildlife that survive and thrive through Canada's four seasons. Canada is where schools of offshore sharks hunt giant prey in the Pacific. It's home to animals that can literally walk on water and frogs that actually freeze to death then miraculously come back to life year after year. The series celebrates the incredible wildlife and natural wonders of Canada, allowing Canadians to better appreciate the magnificence of our land."--eoneplanner.ca.
