WILDLIFE FILMMAKING IN AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS
The Running Wild Media crew spent several months living in the Badlands National Park in South Dakota filming for Disney + and National Geographic’s “America’s National Parks” series now available for streaming on Disney +. This episode tells the story of one of the most incredible National Parks and gives insight on what it is like to fight for survival as an inhabitant in the great park. From temperature extremes to predators, every day is a battle.
The crew began filming right at the onset of the Spring season, and there were plenty of babies out and about exploring their new world. The team encountered baby bighorn sheep, bison, prairie dogs, pronghorn, and more. After the rains bring much needed water to the region, the plant life explodes, giving young wildlife wonderful feeding opportunities.
