Summary

As the sun rises over a frozen ocean, a herd of goats are illuminated, two screaming. A narrator regards the arctic as the "very first biome," saying it appeared not as a place, but as a climate. They go on to explain various species that have adapted to the climate, such as the rabbit, arguing they blend in with the snow. Very soon, a predator emerges, hiding behind grass. However, it does not end up provoking the rabbit, turning around after it hops.

Another predator appears as the first parts ways, the fox. Calling the rabbit "very unlucky, indeed!" the fox begins to chase after the rabbit, and then pounces onto it. In the end, the fox fails to catch the rabbit, or any others. It returns to its den, a small lush cave, sad that it can't feed its children as it and its kin slumber. The focus shifts to a mountain, "among the most hostile of places," where polar bears have had to adapt, which explains their fur. The narrator then says they are dangerous by nature, as a parent and cub make noises.

The fox returns, not hunting for food on icebergs. The polar bear, deeming it a threat to its cubs, begins an attack. Now, the fox is the prey, as it runs away and decides to hunt somewhere less dangerous. As the video begins to wrap up, the narrator ponders "what does the fox say?" as it screeches in pain.

Summary

The narrator fascinates over the depth and mystery of the ocean, welcoming the viewers into it. They highlight the diversity, highlighting amphibious species like turtles. After explaining how they're fast in the water and slow on land, they begin to explain mating rituals. A baby turtle is laid, and then long after born, the narrator praising their unique size. Shortly after hatching, the baby turtle meets its first predator, in the form of a cat. It manages to get away by swimming, others not being as lucky.

As the narrator looks into the emptiness of the sea, they find solace with dolphins. Calling it majestic, they explain the dolphin's neutral behavior. The subject changes to their adventurous nature, traveling long distances to find food, an exception being an ocean monument. Guardians are introduced by their commitment to the monuments, slaughtering several squids. Moving away from the monument, it's revealed that a cat (presumed to be the same as before, despite being a different type) is still searching for the turtle, now lost at sea.

Summary

Entering through an old growth taiga, the narrator introduces the viewer to the beauty of a lush cave. Calling the plentiful cave vines stunning, they concede it's easy to get mesmerized, showing several bats burning to death by a drip of lava. They then point out that glow berries make it harder for hostile mobs to spawn, if not impossible.

The topic changes to a gold axolotl, crawling over clay and diorite into an aquifer, before swimming through an expansive lake. The narrator boasts that they can survive on land for over "6,000 ticks!" and eat tropical fish. As a drowned appears, an axolotl plays dead, and defeats it. As more fights occur, the narrator takes an interest in an enderman, spying on the cave from afar. The feed apparently stares into the enderman's eyes, and is destroyed, before the narrator concludes the video like nothing happened, panning out of a mountain into the taiga once more.

Summary

A panda rolls around on grass and podzol, enjoying life. The narrator remarks life should be easy, but isn't in the jungle. The perspective shifts to an ocelot, prowling grounds in search of a chicken to prey on. The chicken manages to get away. As it rains, a strike of lightning starts a fire, as a panda worries. A skeleton walks by, scaring it further. Once the rain clears, a brown panda appears. Another panda sneezes.

Seemingly provoked, an aggressive panda begins following the camera. The focus changes to a red parrot, swimming in a puddle. The narrator then vents about the dangers and mystique of the jungle, before revealing that the chicken at the start has since become a chicken jockey, which it apparently enjoys.

Summary

In the depths of The Nether, far from sunlight, aggression and territorial defense dominate. To enter this realm, a portal must be built, opening the door to a hostile but intriguing environment filled with lava and danger. Survival requires adaptation, as seen with the strider, which thrives in extreme heat. Meanwhile, the piglins, obsessed with gold, patrol their territory and defend their treasures fiercely.

Unexpected alliances form in this unforgiving world, such as a zombified piglin riding a strider, a partnership that could be life-saving when faced with threats like the aggressive zoglin. The zoglin, driven by its instinct, fails in its attempt to attack, leaving uncertainty about its motives. The Nether is a dangerous but fascinating place, with much to explore, including the bastion and nether fortress. As the video concludes, it hints at the unknown mysteries that still await in "The Great Wild."

Summary

In the harsh desert, life persists against all odds, with camels—the nomads of nature—thriving in the sand. Desert villages serve as oases, where survival requires cooperation. A pair of camels, including a newborn calf, begins their journey across the desert, but danger follows in the form of a zoglin. The baby camel must flee, hiding in hope of reunion. Fortunately, the caravan is soon reunited, ready to continue their adventure.

The journey leads to the contrasting mangrove swamp, where life abounds. Here, roots rise above the water, and tadpoles embark on their life journeys. A clever frog hunts a small slime, demonstrating that even the smallest creatures have a part to play in the ecosystem. The desert and swamp are both filled with their own challenges and mysteries, but peace is often disrupted by new threats in this wild world.

    ]
}

Summary

In the dark void of The End, danger is ever-present for creatures like the Enderman, who are no strangers to threats. This mysterious realm, disconnected from space and time, appears desolate but is home to life. The chorus plant grows exclusively on end stone, while the simplistic flora contrasts with the complex end cities, which offer hidden treasures and dangers. Shulkers, masters of disguise, lie in wait to attack those who venture too close.

The End provides a comfortable environment for the teleporting endermen, a peaceful mob—most of the time. However, when disturbed, they move with purpose. Overseeing the realm is the ender dragon, the ruler of this unknown place. Dependent on end crystals for survival, the dragon allows no one to approach. Even when the endermen seem to unite, friendship with the dragon is not on the horizon.

Despite its emptiness, the End is filled with wonders, mysteries, and hidden treasures. The dragon fiercely protects something—perhaps the portal, or maybe something deeper. The End holds many secrets waiting to be uncovered in "The Great Wild."

Trivia

• The narrator asking "what does the fox say" is a reference to the electric dance song The Fox, which was created as an "anti-hit" song. Ironically, it would go on to become a viral sensation in 2013, leading to its reference in the video.^[1]
