  • Fin Whales

    Fin Whales
    Oct 24 2025
    Just a few years ago, the fin whale, the second-largest animal on our planet, reappeared in the fjords of northern B.C.’s Great Bear Sea after being gone for decades. But in the summer of 2025, a new LNG transport facility put this thriving new habitat in danger. In this episode of This Is Wild, we’re learning all about the elusive fin whale, and the tenuous recovery they’re making on Canada’s north Pacific coast. We’ll explore how these giants of the deep are reshaping life in the Great Bear Sea, and why the recent surge of tanker traffic could undercut their comeback.

    Every fall, monarch butterflies all across Canada start flying south. They travel thousands of kilometres, braving storms and food shortages, to make it to their wintering grounds in Michoacan, Mexico. In this episode of This Is Wild, we’ll meet the iconic little insects that make this extraordinary journey every year. From the monarchs’ remarkable navigation skills to the dangers that put their migration at risk, we’ll uncover what these fragile travellers reveal about the health of the natural world.

    Wolves
    Sep 26 2025
    In the 1930s, wolves were eradicated from Yellowstone National Park…and then the entire ecosystem went haywire. In this episode of This Is Wild, we explore the power of apex predators to impact their environments, both culturally and ecologically. From the ripple effects wolves had on rivers and forests to the deep cultural connections between people and these oft-misunderstood animals, we’ll uncover how their presence (or absence) can shape entire landscapes.
