Porcupine Caribou Migration: Evavik Gauntlet and Caribou 88’s Last Push

Real Wild Guide 24 days ago

Description

100,000 pregnant caribou are late—and the Arctic won’t wait. In Evavik National Park, the Porcupine herd races a closing window to calve on time.

Guided by cutting-edge GPS collars and a veteran trailblazer known as Caribou 88, scientists and filmmakers track the herd through ice-choked rivers, predator bottlenecks, and snowbound plateaus. A lone wolf sparks chaos that invites a grizzly steal, a river crossing turns into a near-disaster, and a hidden force in the tundra dictates a narrow countdown to nutrient-rich cotton grass. Then, just when safety seems close, a billion tiny attackers change everything.

Witness how timing, terrain, and experience decide life and death on the longest land migration on Earth—and what new satellite data reveals about a 12,000-year-old journey. Watch to see the pivotal choices that keep the Porcupine herd moving, the moment the plains finally bloom, and why synchrony across 130 miles remains a mystery. Dive into the full story now.
