Wild Russia

Kamchatka is a remote haven for wildlife in far eastern Russia. Here animals tread a fine line between survival and succumbing to the deep freeze in this pristine wilderness.

Russia's Lake Baikal, and the Eastern delta on the Caspian Sea are a treasure trove for biodiversity, and strange enigmatic creatures.

Siberia battles temperatures of -80F during winter, its short summers bring heat up to 104F. But these extremes are no barrier to wildlife.

In far Eastern Russia, mountainous boreal taiga in the north meets temperate rainforests in the south. Here species find their last refuge in a wild place like no other.
