In celebration of Earth Month, we’re excited to share the trailers and stills for Disney+ Hotstar’s upcoming nature series and film, Secrets of the Penguins and Sea Lions of the Galápagos, premiering on 21st April and 22nd April 2025, respectively.
Secrets of the Penguins follows a group of over approximately 700 emperor penguin chicks on their first trip from colony to ocean only to find a 50-foot drop off a cliff blocking their path. In a stunning turn of events, the chicks began to leap from the summit, smashing into the icy ocean waters below – completely unscathed. This spectacular, heart-stopping moment has been witnessed by scientists before, but this is the first time the rare behavior has been filmed for television.
Meanwhile, Sea Lions of the Galápagos tracks Leo as he leaves his mother’s colony to find his own home, following swimming lessons, fishing expeditions, and some growing up. Male sea lions must fight to earn the best spots, and only the strongest will become beachmasters. Leo’s lifelong quest is fraught with challenges and filled with new encounters with an array of creatures, from marine iguanas and racer snakes to yellow fin tuna and huge Galapagos sharks.
