The core pair of two-hour episodes, airing separately Nov. 7 and 14, feature dramatic footage of red crabs, wildebeests, butterflies, sharks, zebras, and many other species racing against time to breed, eat, and survive. Additional hours include “Science of Great Migrations” (Nov. 9); “Behind the Scenes” (Nov. 14 ); and “Rhythm of Life” (Nov. 20), which sets images to original music. Alec Baldwin narrates.
