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.
