Narrated by Mexican actor Enrique Rocha, the series showcases individual animals in their natural habitat, giving us a look at their lives from their perspective. We watch them take their first steps, learn to adapt to life without their parents, shelter from their enemies, achieve a position of power in their world, find a mate, and procreate to produce a new generation of descendants.

"This was my first time narrating a series and I am thrilled to be a part of telling this ever important story about life, through the vision and credibility of Discovery en Espanol," Enrique Rocha remarked. "'Sobrevivir' offers viewers an exclusive opportunity to witness the wonderful and often heart-wrenching cycle of life."

SOBREVIVIR was filmed in 29 countries on six continents, yielding more than 1,800 hours of footage. From a humpback whale that rescues a youngster from the jaws of a shark to a group of Australian peacock spiders in the midst of a colorful courtship dance, many of the scenes presented in the series were recorded for the first time ever in ultra HD, resulting in visual quality never before possible in a nature documentary.

SOBREVIVIR is a co-production of BBC/Discovery Channel/France Televisions in association with The Open University. Mike Gunton, Rupert Barrington and Sarah Spaniolo served as the series' producers.
