Parenthood

In this final episode, animals attempt to rear their offspring. A female turtle, returning to the island where she was born 30 years ago, hauls herself up the beach to lay her eggs in a safe place above the tide line. A mother bonobo chimpanzee lavishes care on her son for five years, deep in the forest. A mother zebra must decide where to lead her young foal across the river so that they can reach new grazing grounds. Elephants delicately stroke the bones of an ancestor in a communal experience that appears to draw the family members closer together.
