In case you hadn’t heard, today (March 3) is World Wildlife Day! Not that we need an excuse to celebrate the animals who share our home — Seven Worlds, One Planet has been ahead of the game, putting a spotlight on each continent’s extraordinary wildlife every week.

Before the gripping ‘Making Of’ episode airs this Saturday at 9/8c, let’s observe this holiday with a look back at seven creatures who've reminded us just how fascinatingly diverse and important our world’s wildlife really is.

North America: Manatee and Alligator Neighbors

What better way to celebrate your own holiday than at an underwater spa?! These manatees take a break from scrubbing to get up close and personal with alligators, who are (thankfully) not quite thawed out yet from the winter chill.

In one of the most intense nature scenes since lizard vs. snakes, an albatross chick is displaced from its nest and must attempt to claw back into safety. We know it's hard to watch, but... [SPOILER] it ends in well-earned triumph.

Asia: Snow Monkey Face-Off

Snub-nosed monkeys may be insanely adorable, but they're also insanely tough. They live in one of the most extreme habitats on Earth in Asia's high elevation forests, and when food is scarce, tribes must come together to fight for their keep.
