0:00Bison slow their metabolism and plough through snow to reach grazing.
9:09A bull elk retreats into a freezing river, where the pursuing wolves won't follow.
17:03Winter pushes elk beyond the park's borders towards grassland refuges.
20:59A beaver reinforces its dam and stores branches underwater before the lake freezes.
25:16Summer wildfires leave nutrient-rich ashes that support fields of fireweed.
31:34Geothermal features help preserve open grazing land by preventing forests from overtaking the valley floor.

A bull elk retreats into a freezing river, and the wolves stop at the bank. In BBC Studios' most watched new upload of the week, survival can come down to knowing where your pursuers won't follow.

"The Extraordinary Wildlife Of Yellowstone | BBC Earth | BBC Studios" has reached roughly 18,000 views. Its winter scenes follow bison ploughing through snow to graze, elk moving into sheltered valleys and the Druid wolf pack playing together before the hunting begins. A lone male's attempt to find a mate brings another kind of tension: the pack's dominant male chases him away.

The film doesn't stay in the snow. A beaver builds an underwater food store, moose browse in its pond, and summer fires give way to fields of fireweed. Viewers pick out the contrast between Yellowstone's beauty and its unforgiving conditions, while one singles out that outsider wolf's risky courtship.

BBC Studios posted three videos altogether. A classic Top Gear episode pairs an intentional Renault Megane crash with Neil Morrissey's reasonably priced lap; Friday's Bronze Age compilation turns instead to Britain's tools and archaeological finds.

Across the channel, the week brought about 2.5 million views, with subscribers unchanged. Daily viewing is running above its usual level, though the strongest momentum among recent uploads belongs to the older Stonehenge film featuring Neil Oliver. David Attenborough's wildlife compilation and Brian Cox's space-frontier exploration are also drawing substantial daily audiences: three very different ways into the BBC archive's appetite for discovery.

Yellowstone in winter almost feels like another planet. Beautiful from a distance, absolutely unforgiving for anything that has to survive there
