1. Share your experiences along the Mississippi River below!

2. Where the Missouri meets the Mississippi….should be the eighth wonder of the world

3. Woke BS

4. @12:27 why did yall edit the wood duck making a mallard hen sound? 😂 aren’t documentaries supposed to be for natural accuracy?

5. Wildlife shows you the repercussions of evasive species, humans should take note but we're responsible for both

6. So much life depending on one river… absolutely incredible.

7. 💧 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🎉

8. Present.

9. What woman wrote those jokes into the script?!

10. Maybe make the duck nest little bit closer to the water to help the little ones

11. I have sat beside the Mississippi River many times just watching it but no amount of money would entice me to stick one toe in it.

12. When I got out of the Navy in 79 I was hired off the Lock Wall at Lock and Dam 18 on the Upper Mississippi. I continued for 10 years on all Inland waterways that you can think about. Arkansas River is one of the most beautiful rivers, Missouri River is one of the most dangerous in high water coming south. Illinois at that time was probably the dirtiest, Ohio also a beautiful river can be dangerous, and the Tennessee River some of the nicest people I've ever met. I could go on, but working on Line Boats was the best job I could ever have. I will say it's a young man's game out there, and I always hoped that the Deckhands that came after me appreciated the beauty of the Mississippi and its tributaries. Thanks Brian

13. Are you using garbage AI?

14. t-rex

15. Oops

16. Oops injee time!

17. 3:41 she is so so so beautiful she reminds me of Trixie in the fox and the hound

18. The Mississippi is a true testament to the power of nature. It’s fascinating to see such a diverse ecosystem deconstructed with this level of detail!

19. O conteúdo é muito envolvente, especialmente a forma como conecta as estações ao comportamento de sobrevivência dos animais dentro do mesmo ecossistema. Do inverno rigoroso às cheias do verão, cada fase mostra uma “batalha” diferente, mas igualmente importante.

20. another double shot

    I’m a bit exhausted

    They continue hitting me waiting to hit on me when I’m unaware

21. latest another hardy

22. 37:21 😭😭 what a way with words

23. twice latest shot

24. Grew up north of Minneapolis. Where the Mississippi starts.

25. Este ecosistema muestra cómo las estaciones moldean las estrategias de supervivencia. En invierno, la reducción de actividad y el ahorro de energía son clave, mientras que en primavera se activan los ciclos reproductivos de muchas especies.

26. 😊❤

27. The Mississippi River ecosystem is a great example of how survival depends on timing and environment .Like otters breaking ice or alligators timing their nesting

28. We use to trot line the Mississippi we've pulled catfish out of there that were big enough to fill a pickup, I've talked to divers they seen catfish as big as a Volkswagen in there. This was a little south of st.louis.

29. Ang gusto kopo marating po switch

30. 22:24 while this selective editing sequence looks cool, these specific carp are an invasive species that causes severe damage to the waterways it gets into. They eat all the vegetation that supports the bottom of the food chain and cause shoreline erosion.

31. I love this! Thank you!

32. I grew up in a small town on the river in south Louisiana, Norco, with the Bonnet Carre Spillway in my backyard!!!

33. 21:12 are they fishing for fish that are jumping in the boat 😂🤣

34. Really loved the segment on snapping turtles and they were just all in small ponds and lakes. Not the Mississippi. Great job Nat Geo👍🏻

35. Love 💞💖

36. This "America's Wild Frontier", not "America the Beautiful". Just sayin' 0:51

37. What bothers me the most about the Asian Carp is that you are supposed to kill them on sight, and so many stupid people keep just throwing them back, which is only making the problem they cause worse.

38. …..no words for the beauty of things.

39. A powerful journey through one of America’s greatest rivers.
    Along the Mississippi, life thrives in a dynamic and ever-changing world.

40. They are so adorable

41. 美国佬的社交媒体公司
    创造许多高收入的网红 , 但我不是网红
    现在上帝保留着我
    谷歌公司的战略是聪明的 多年的监视&打压我
    2024年中国人终于蒸熟🇺🇲美国米兔了😅

    2027年我耶稣基督又再来一次认真消灭美国🇺🇲✝️👎

42. Spring floods may threaten nests, but life always finds a way. Resilience in every ripple of the Mississippi!

43. This documentary really reminded me how powerful and alive river ecosystems are, especially in a place like the Mississippi where so many forces come together. I was honestly on edge watching those baby wood ducks make that terrifying leap and then struggle toward the water—it’s hard not to root for them like they’re your own pets. As someone who loves animals, seeing both the beauty and the danger they face right from birth really hit me emotionally. The way the mother fox was trying to care for her pups despite her condition was another moment that stuck with me. Nature isn’t easy, but there’s something incredibly moving about how resilient these animals are. It makes me wonder how many of these small, unseen struggles are happening around us every day. Did anyone else feel like the ducklings’ journey was one of the most intense parts?

44. Mississippi River coughs Nile River
