Traveling the continent for more than three years from the sub-zero Canadian tundra to the tropical rainforests of Panama, Discovery Channel’s first, independently-produced natural history landmark series, "North America," reveals that "survival of the fittest" is truly the law here amid threatening terrain and ferocious weather. You will never look at your backyard the same way again as we discover a hidden world where life – ranging from the familiar to the exotic – battles deep freezes, deadly fires and explosive super storms.

Discovery Channel’s determined production crew journeyed the span of North America including the frigid Yukon Territory, the lush forests of Belize, the snow-capped Rocky Mountains, the barren deserts of the American Southwest and more. They spent 2,830 days on location on 250 separate expeditions, and utilized 11 different types of cameras to shoot more than 850 hours of footage. State-of-the-art equipment including ultra-high-speed cameras, night viewing devices, and a one-of-a-kind submarine camera allowed the crew to capture behaviors never seen before on television. Time-lapses shot in High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) transformed the continent’s most severe weather events into truly mind-blowing imagery.

The breathtaking seven-part series begins its journey on Tuesday, July 30 at 8:00 p.m. Encores every Wednesday at midnight and 1:00 p.m., and Sunday at 3:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.
