Growing Up Animal

“Growing Up Animal” is an intimate and extraordinary adventure of baby animals, from the safety of the womb to the uncertainty of birth and their tentative first steps. The Disney+ original series from National Geographic is narrated by Emmy-nominated actress and star of “black-ish,” Tracee Ellis Ross. Each episode — baby chimps, sea lions, elephants, African wild dogs, lions and grizzlies — sees the incredible transformation of a different iconic animal, full of wonder and emotion. “Growing Up Animal” is the magical story of a mother’s instinct to nurture and her infant’s drive to survive.
