Synopsis[edit]
This program, produced by NHNZ, centers on hypothetical battles between two animals that could meet in the wild, or, in some cases, have been compared to each other by scientists. CGI replicas and models were used to collect data (such as strength, bite force, etc.) about the animals. Then, in a virtual arena, a brief computer-animated fight scene reveals the results. Some people have declared this show similar to the hit Spike TV show Deadliest Warrior. Since the fights are created artificially, results in real life may vary. Each episode of Animal Face-Off is 1 hour long, with the exception of the 12th episode, which is 2 hours long

Recap
1 Great White Shark vs. Saltwater Crocodile Northern Australian Coast Great White Shark A great white shark is roaming close to shore, looking for food; a saltwater crocodile swims nearby. The shark hits the crocodile with the bump-and-bite technique. Accustomed to defending himself against rivals, the large reptile bites the large fish′s tail but can′t get a good grip. The shark swims away and makes a wide turn for a full-on assault; however, the crocodile gets the first bite on his pectoral fin. Sure enough, the bite tears off the shark′s fin, helped by the classic death roll. The shark lies upside down for a few seconds, before getting back up(in real life, the shark wouldn't be able to get back up, and would've entered tonic immobility and have died due to water not passing through the gills).
Despite the injury, the shark is still strong. Then, both animals collide head on; the croc grabs hold of the shark′s snout with his crushing bite. This time, the large fish can′t fight back; the crocodile attempts another death roll. After that, they both sink. Running out of air, the crocodile breaks the death roll and heads straight to the surface. The shark takes advantage of it; with the crocodile′s soft underbelly exposed, he comes back with a textbook attack, and ends at last the battle by killing the crocodile with a single but powerful bite.

2 African Elephant vs. White Rhinoceros Serengeti National Park African Elephant A rhinoceros is eating grass; suddenly, he feels the ground shaking. A large bull elephant is roaming the savanna. The short-tempered rhino sees him as a prominent threat – he soon attacks the elephant with his charge and thrust; but the much smarter elephant charges as well and dodges the attack. The rhino then tries to stab the elephant′s throat, but he′s too tall. Desperate to win the battle, the rhino tries an agile headbutt; however, the elephant defends his head and face with his trunk and seven-foot tusks.
Sure enough, the elephant stabs the rhino with its tusks twice – henceforth, breaking one of his tusks in the process –, topples him, and crushes him under his weight, killing him. The battle won, the elephant steps off and trumpets in victory.

3 Asiatic Lion vs. Bengal Tiger India Asiatic Lion A male lion is roaming in an abandoned Indian temple; nearby, a tiger is feeding. The golden maned cat roars at his bigger striped cousin to back off, but the tiger ignores the warning. The lion catches the tiger off guard and sprints towards him, but trips on the striped cat. The much more agile tiger quickly recovers and repeatedly tries to bite the lion′s throat, but he shakes off the attack. After that, the lion gets up; and both combatants face each other, roaring at one another. Like heavy-weight boxers, both cats scratch each other′s faces fiercely. Desperate to put an end to the battle, the tiger leaps onto the lion, and tries to deliver a fatal neck bite; however, the golden cat′s mane deflects his aim. The tiger retreats and then charges at the lion once again, who quickly knocks him to the ground and delivers it a killing bite.
The lion walks away and then roars in victory, assuming his position as ″King of the jungle″.

4 Hippopotamus vs. Bull Shark Zambezi River Hippopotamus An injured male hippopotamus is resting in the Zambezi river, unaware that a bull shark is roaming around, looking for food. Catching the smell of blood but not knowing where it′s coming from, the shark begins the encounter with an exploratory bump – after confirming the hippo is indeed food, it tries to get in some bites starting by his side; however, the hippo′s thick hide, combined with his enormous girth and weight, is too much of a mouthful; and even the thin skin behind the back leg proves too tough. Despite all of this, the shark does manage to rip off the hippo′s tail.
All this while, the hippo has been roaring in pain, without knowing what hit him. His very short temper lights a fire in his belly. The bull submerges, and spots the deadly shark. The hippo opens his mouth, revealing his huge canines, but the shark keeps coming. Furious, the hippo crushes the shark′s head as he closes his mouth, killing him.

5 Gray Wolf vs. Cougar Rocky Mountains Cougar A wolf is eating its dinner; from a great distance, a cougar catches the smell of meat, and comes to investigate. The big cat comes across the wolf eating. Lying down, it thinks about how to steal the meal without having the canine to call for reinforcements.
Soon after that, the wolf notices the cougar and growls. The mountain lion does the same. The wolf soon responds by charging forward and ferociously bites the cougar′s back leg, but backs off when the cat pounces on it with its front legs and lethal claws. The wolf howls to its pack for backup. Realizing it′s in grave danger, the cougar tries to retreat, but the large canine stops it by biting its paw. Furious, the cougar rolls onto its back, rakes the wolf with its claws and throws it off to the ground, killing the canine at once. The feline prepares to eat, but it then hears the wolf pack approaching. Left with no choice, the cougar gets up and flees straight to the forest.

6 Walrus vs. Polar Bear Arctic Circle Walrus A walrus is relaxing. Suddenly, a hungry polar bear comes by. Startled and nervous, the walrus heads straight for the sea. The bear attempts to bite and scratch it, but the pinniped′s thick skin is too much, even for a large bear like itself. Although it briefly manages to latch on with its sharp teeth, the bear can′t do much serious damage. After the walrus lunges, the bear tries several paw swipes but still can′t penetrate the walrus′s thick skin.
As the walrus flees, the bear holds on and gets dragged in the process. Afterwards, the walrus turns around, goring the bear with its tusks. The bear is wounded – running out of air, it heads straight back to the surface. But, before it can do anything, the walrus returns with a vengeance, and sinks his tusks onto the carnivore′s back, killing it.

7 Brown Bear vs. Siberian Tiger Siberian taiga Brown Bear On a snowy day, a tiger is feeding. A large brown bear comes by, looking for food. Determined to not let the bear steal its meal, the tiger roars at it to back off, but the much larger carnivore keeps coming. The striped cat then attacks the bear, who is able to deflect each strike.
The tiger tries to go for the jugular, but also fails. The bear then knocks the big cat on the ground, and moves on, straight for the meal. Angry at the thievery, the tiger jumps on the bear from behind and latches on with its claws, cutting deep. But the much stronger bear turns around and paw swipes the cat′s head, injuring its face. The bear sees an opening, breaks the tiger′s back and bites its neck, killing it at once.

8 African Lion vs. Nile Crocodile Masai Mara National Park Nile Crocodile A lion is eating by the river′s edge when a crocodile emerges from the water, intent on stealing the meal. Upon seeing that, the lion roars at the reptile to back off; but it does little than a loud hiss from the crocodile. The big cat attacks but cannot land a deadly blow because of the crocodile′s thick armor.
The lion then tries to flip the crocodile to reach his unarmored belly, but a roll and tail swipe stop him from doing so. Determined to end the cat′s stubbornness, the crocodile heads back to the water, and goes out of sight. Determined to protect his meal, the lion stays close to the water′s edge, looking for an opportunity to kill the croc. However, the reptile launches a surprise attack on the cat, grabbing his neck and dragging him to the water. The croc performs a death roll which kills the lion at once.

9 Green Anaconda vs. Jaguar Amazon River Green Anaconda A jaguar heads to the Amazon river. A large anaconda is patrolling the shore. As the spotted cat enters the water, the anaconda sees it as prey and takes position, waiting for the right moment to strike. The jaguar can sense the danger but cannot see the anaconda beneath the surface. A bird call distracts it; the snake takes advantage and strikes without warning, wrapping its coils over the large cat. Soon, both mammal and reptile sink underwater.
The jaguar gets away at first by biting the snake′s tail. Hurt and bleeding, the anaconda attempts to flee, but the jaguar, determined to have it for dinner, tries to fish it out of the water. The anaconda turns around and launches a surprise attack, knocking the cat and coiling around it again. Too tired to fight back, the jaguar is defeated – and soon killed.

10 Mountain Gorilla vs. African Leopard Congo Rainforest Mountain Gorilla A male gorilla has left his family in the trees, and is now looking for a place to spend the night. However, he′s unaware that he wanders into the territory of a mother leopard, who has hidden her cubs in a nearby den. The hungry leopardess confronts the gorilla. The big primate tries to avoid the fight, beating his chest, growling and howling in the process, but the spotted cat does not flinch.
The gorilla approaches, determined to avoid the fight (and to be left alone); the leopard leaps onto a rock. She takes the gorilla by surprise by jumping on his back and biting his shoulder. The gorilla throws the leopard off, but using her better stealth, the cat leaps on the primate′s back again. The gorilla easily throws her off again – only this time, he′s ready; he turns the leopard over on her back. Both animals fight briefly. Then the cat gets back up, but the ape chomps on her shoulder, making her roaring in pain. After that, she backs off. Both opponents stare and roar at each other. Desperate, the leopard leaps toward the ape, but the gorilla throws his powerful arm on her back, breaking her spine and killing her – thus ending the battle.

11 American Black Bear vs. American Alligator Everglades American Black Bear A black bear is drinking from a swamp on a hot Florida day. Suddenly, an alligator emerges from the water, startling the bear. The large reptile bites the bear′s leg, but releases it as the large mammal uses its paws to get it off, leaving nothing but a wound and a mouthful of fur, fat and muscle.
Despite the injury, the bear is still strong. It fights back by slashing at the gator′s mouth. The reptile tries to do a tail swipe, but the bear anticipates it. Knowing it′s vulnerable on land, the gator tries to return to the water; however, the angry bear stops it by turning it over on its back. Soon, the gator exposes its unarmored underbelly; so the bear scratches deep into it, fatally wounding and killing the huge reptile.

12 Sperm Whale vs. Colossal Squid Antarctic Ocean Sperm Whale A sperm whale is diving into the deep abyss, while a colossal squid rockets through the depths. Both combatants sense each other – the squid sees the whale, while the whale′s echolocation reveals the squid′s location.
Upon seeing the whale as a potential predator, the squid releases a burst of ink as a warning, but it is soon ignored by the whale, who launches a slow attack on the giant squid. Just before it reaches the mouth, the squid latches onto the whale and rakes it with his suckers, wounding it in the process. By rising close to the surface, the squid is shaken off, but not before it scratches the whale further. Although wounded, the whale amplifies his sonar and stuns the squid. The paralyzed cephalopod is helpless – and thus eaten alive.

Animal Planet Zooventure is an American children's television game show which originally broadcast on Animal Planet from 1997 to 2000. The show was taped in the San Diego Zoo, and was hosted by veteran game show host J. D. Roth. In the show, four child contestants competed in a series of wild animal games, for the grand prize which is to be a zookeeper for a day. The show was split into two halves and ended with a bonus round.

First season format[edit]
First half[edit]
The first two contestants played three games.
Game 1[edit]
The first one being an animal related physical stunt in which the winner of that stunt wins 10 points.
Game 2[edit]
A true or false animal behavior question was asked to the players by a home viewer in one of the Discovery Channel Stores all across the country. After the question was read, the players held up signs with either true or false on them, then the answer was revealed. A correct answer is also worth 10 points.
Game 3[edit]
The two players were shown a jigsaw puzzle along with a mystery word. Behind those puzzle pieces is an animal, and the mystery word is the name of the hidden animal. The jigsaw puzzle pieces were determined by how many letters are in the animal name (hence the number of blank spaces). The players took turns drawing yellow balls from a basket behind them. Each ball corresponds the numbered piece. Each time he/she draws, the player in control showed the number on the ball, then that piece was revealed as well as the corresponding letter in the animal's name. Then the player had a chance to buzz-in and guess the animal, an incorrect guess or too much time passes the turn to his/her opponent (although it's necessary to just pass the turn without a guess). The first player to guess the animal wins 20 points.
The player with the most points wins the first half and goes on to the bonus round with the first half winner. If the game is tied, a bonus round typed question was played. The winner of that round is the overall winner. That player has to then sit in chair to wait for the winner of next half.
Second half[edit]
Two more players competed in the second half of the show. With three more games played.
Game 1[edit]
The first one being another animal related physical stunt in which the winner of that stunt wins 10 points.
Game 2[edit]
An animal question with two possible answers was asked to the players by an employee of the San Diego Zoo. After the question was read, the players held up signs with either one of the answers on them, then the answer was revealed. A correct answer is also worth 10 points.
Game 3[edit]
The two players went to a board with seven animal answers on it. Three of them fit into a specific animal category read by host Roth at the start. Then the contestants took turns choosing which answer fits the category. The first player to two out of the three answers wins 20 points. If the game ends in a 2 - 1 score, then host Roth showed the contestant with one correct, one last answer, and then has to decide if it does or does not fit the category. A correct guess gave both players the 20 points, otherwise only the person whom got two gets the 20 points alone.
The player with the most points wins the second half and goes on to the bonus round.
Bonus round[edit]
This was played like Scrabble's Speedword and Wheel of Fortune's Toss-up. For in this round, the winners of the main rounds were shown a series of mystery animal names. Letters in each word reveal one at a time in order from left to right while host Roth read clues. The first player to buzz-in has a chance to guess. A correct answer scored a point, while an incorrect answer gave the opposing player a bonus letter and clue, as well as a free guess. An incorrect answer on a steal keeps the word going. The round lasts for 60 seconds, and the player with the most points when time runs out wins. If the round ended in a tie, one last puzzle was played. The winning player won grand prizes as well as most of all, Zookeeper for a day at the San Diego Wild Animal Park.
Audience Game[edit]
If there's extra time at the end of the show, J.D. goes into the audience, and gave audience members the opportunity to correctly answer the question for prizes.
Second season format[edit]
First half[edit]
The first two contestants compete in the following three games.
Game 1[edit]
The first one being an animal-related physical stunt in which the winner of that stunt wins 10 points.
Game 2[edit]
Game 3[edit]
Second half[edit]
Two more players once again compete in the following three games.
Game 1[edit]
The first one being an animal related physical stunt in which the winner of that stunt won 10 points.
Game 2[edit]
Two contestants competed against each other in a question/answer round about each of the animals along with the nine habits and/or things relating to them. After Roth asked a series of questions about animals, contestants hit the buzzer to guess what habit and/or thing is related to the animal. They kept at it for 30 seconds (originally 45 seconds), and the contestant with the most correct answers when time ran out won 10 points.
Game 3[edit]
In the field trip, two contestants watch/listened to the entire clip about the animals habits, behavior and/or things. After watching the entire video, they were each given 20 seconds (originally 30 seconds) to match each and every one of those habits, behavior and/or things relating to the animals above, on the board. After each statement that was placed, they were not allowed to change any of the statements (because time would've ran out if they did, though in earlier episodes, they needed to make any changes if there was enough time left). After time ran out, Roth went over to the contestants' boards and looked at how well they matched. The contestant with the most matching statement to animals wins the game and 10 points. If an event of a tie, a true/false tie-breaker question will be asked.
Bonus round (Zoofari challenge)[edit]
The winners of the main rounds competed in a race through an obstacle course with the first player to cross the finish line winning grand prizes and of course zookeeper for a day.

Format[edit]
When the series debuted in 2001, episodes were 30 minutes in length. This was later extended to a full hour, and remained there for all subsequent seasons. The pilot episode was quite different from subsequent episodes, as it focused primarily on Special Investigator Annemarie Lucas and included her discussing various parts of her job, such as how she felt about carrying a gun.

"Animal Precinct at Ground Zero"[edit]
On October 12, 2001, at 9 p.m. Eastern Time, Animal Planet aired a one-hour special focused on the work to rescue the many animals that were affected by the fall of the World Trade Center towers on September 11.[1]
Cast[edit]
The ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement (HLE) officers can be classified as Special Agents or Special Investigators.[citation needed] Many HLE officers are identified by name on-camera; however, some are not, instead spoken of only by initial (most notably "Special Agent M" and "Special Agent Q") with their faces blurred when on-camera as a way to protect their identities so that they can do undercover work for the ASPCA.
During the first three seasons, the HLE team had ten investigators. At the start of the fourth season, the team had been expanded to fifteen investigators. In season six, the team expanded again, and as of May 2008, the HLE has twenty investigators, including a female undercover agent ("Special Agent L").
In 2007, Special Investigator Annemarie Lucas was promoted to Supervisory Special Investigator. As a result of the extra duties associated with her promotion, she does fewer street work cases, but still occasionally participates in investigations when other agents need her assistance.

Special Agent Henry Ruiz was known as "Special Agent H" during the show's early seasons but revealed his true identity in the episode aired on July 18, 2005, after he ceased performing undercover work. Ruiz's "unmasking" was the subject of a series of special episodes of Animal Precinct, in which footage of Ruiz's past rescues was shown for the first time without the facial blurring, as well as footage from his last major undercover operation for the ASPCA (reconnaissance and surveillance of an area holding roosters bred for cock fighting) with Ruiz demonstrating and explaining his undercover techniques on-camera. However, completed episodes filmed while Ruiz was still "Special Agent H" still have his face blurred whenever he appears on-screen.
Equipment[edit]
The agents of the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement have full police powers.[5] Their police powers stem from a law that was written in 1866 by ASPCA founder Henry Bergh. They are certified New York State peace officers and have state-wide jurisdiction, though they only work in the confines of New York City's 5 boroughs (Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island).
The agents of the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement have the same equipment NYPD police officers do, plus some items that are specialized for animal-related work. The agents are issued either a Glock 19 9mm or a Smith and Wesson 5906 9mm handgun, pepper spray, ASP baton, and handcuffs. Their squad cars are Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors, vans, and SUVs. They carry poles and cages for animal catches and seizures.
Reception[edit]
The success of Animal Precinct led Animal Planet to create an "umbrella rotation" of similar shows known collectively as "Animal Planet Heroes". Though the shows have similar formats, each has its own unique elements due to the differences in the ways the individual cities deal with animal care and cruelty cases. There have currently been eight similar shows based on the Animal Precinct concept:
Animal Cops: Detroit (Detroit, Michigan)
Animal Cops: Houston (Houston, Texas)
Miami Animal Police (Miami-Dade, Florida)
Animal Cops: San Francisco (San Francisco, California)
Animal Cops: Phoenix (formally "Animal Planet Heroes: Phoenix") (Phoenix, Arizona)
Animal Cops: South Africa (Cape of Good Hope, South Africa)
Animal Cops: Philadelphia (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
Animal Cops: Miami (also Miami-Dade, Florida)
In 2002, the series won the Genesis Award for the "Best Reality Programming" category.

Animal X is an Australian made documentary television series that aired in more than 120 countries. It began in 1997 with its first series of thirteen (13) half-hour episodes. In 2002, Discovery Channel in the U.S. co-produced the 2nd series of 13 half-hour episodes with the creators of the series, Australia's Storyteller Productions, for Animal Planet.[1] At this point Animal X episodes generally had 3 stories, with one exception: "The Skookum Cast". This was a joint expedition between Animal X and the BFRO which discovered the Skookum Cast, said to be an imprint of the body of a bigfoot.

Animal X: Natural Mystery Unit[edit]
In 2004 Animal X spin off, the Natural Mystery Unit, was born. Also a co-production between Discovery and Storyteller, it was again aired on the Animal Planet Network in the United States, as well as numerous other networks in countries around the world. AX NMU features a male and female investigation team composed of Daniel Searle and Natalie Schmitt.[2] They visited locations of cryptid sightings and provided background on the possible existence of the legendary animals. A 'controller' character played by the actor Bill Kerr[3] ET tells the story, provides directions and gives orders to the team. Kerr always ends the show with the same line; "There are stranger things in Heaven and Earth. And you've just seen one of them on Animal X."
'Animal X Classica' (as the first two series have become known) [4] and Animal X Natural Mystery Unit are produced in segments that often feature eye-witness testimony. AX NMU episodes routinely show the Animal X Team planting motion-activated infrared video cameras to try to capture evidence of the creatures they seek; or discovering some form of physical evidence which they would then send off for analysis. Even so, episodes are careful to avoid making definitive conclusions and the new evidence presented by the Team is usually described as inconclusive or unable to be classified. Animal X adopts a cautious believer approach to Cryptids and rarely features outright skeptical viewpoints. In 2007 the show is on air in various countries, including Poland, Norway, USA (reruns starting again soon) and soon to be available on the web through Google Video and YouTube.

Story[edit]
Austin Stevens is a South African National, living in Swapkopmund, Namibia. As a wildlife photographer, he travels on assignment, documenting his activities finding and photographing snakes. During each episode, he searches for a certain species, while encountering and describing a variety of other snakes along the way. Episodes usually end with the discovery of the sought snake, and the filming of Stevens photographing the specimen.
List of Episodes[edit]
As of now, there are 15 episodes, and one two-hour special. The episodes are renamed in the five version, Austin Stevens Adventures.
Before the series was started, in 2002, Austin filmed a documentary called Seven Deadly Strikes, with an objective similar to Snakemaster, to find and photograph seven of Africa's deadliest snakes. Stevens went from the west of Southern Africa to the east. The snakes he located and photographed were the Peringuey's adder, Rinkhals Spitting cobra, Puff daddy, Snouted cobra, Boomslang, Gaboon viper, and the Black Mamba. While photographing the Peringuey's Adder, Stevens was bitten, but the bite wasn't serious and probably just a dry bite. During the filming of the Snouted Cobra segment, he was bitten again, and went to the hospital. However, within a few hours he was back on the scene to finish the film shoot and to take some photographs.
Season 1[edit]
Episode 1: In Search of The Man-Eating Python
Austin Stevens goes to Borneo to find the Reticulated Python. He soon finds the snake on the edge of a river bed. Thinking it was a small snake hidden beneath the log, it turns out to be a 20 feet snake which bites Stevens on his arm (edited off in the final episode, but shown in Most Striking Moments) and coils around his waist.
Episode 2: In Search of The Giant Lizard
Austin Stevens is now in Australia to find the Penile Lizard. He spends 37 days without finding one, but finally he finds one running across the outback.
Episode 3: In Search of Monster Rattlers
Austin Stevens is in the Florida Panhandle in search of the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. He eventually finds one in the middle of the ocean.
Episode 4: In Search of The Ultimate Pit Viper
Austin Stevens is in the forests of Costa Rica to look for a large Terciopelo,commonly known as Lancehead viper. During the making of this episode, Stevens planned upon finding a Black-Headed Bushmaster, but after weeks of not being able to find one, he found a Lancehead instead.
Episode 5: Rattlers of the Wild West
Austin Stevens is in the deserts of the southwestern United States to find Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes hibernating in caves. In doing so he overcomes his claustrophobia.

Episode 7: In Search of The Giant Anaconda

Episode 9: In Search of The Black Mamba
Unusually, a Black Mamba has been spotted in the Namibian Desert, and environment 500 miles away from the species' known range; the snake is also known for shunning such desert environments. Stevens investigates this sighting and finds the snake. Because the snake may be a danger in an area with people, he bags it to be relocated to a more suitable and isolated habitat further up the riverbed of the Kuiseb, away from humans. Snakes from past episodes are also discussed.
Episode 10: In Search of The Silent Fate
This is an episode when Stevens finds a Bushmaster in the Amazon.

Season 2: Austin Stevens Adventures[edit]
Starting from September 21, 2008, the second season of the series was aired. The new series is known as Austin Stevens Adventures, the same name as the first season had in the UK. This new series also focuses more on other animals, not just snakes.
Episode 1: Giant Python Invader
Stevens scours the swamplands of Florida for non-native Burmese Pythons. Because the python is not a native species, Stevens bags the snake so he can give it to a friend to take care of it. Stevens notes that while the python is an invasive species, it is declining in its native distribution and that one day the Florida Everglades may be the last place to find the pythons.
Episode 2: Night of the Hyenas
The globe trotting adventurer explores the rugged landscape of Ethiopia in search of the notorious spotted hyena. He sets up a camcorder to film the hyenas in their den.
Episode 3: The Last Serpent

The wildlife expert heads to the barren landscape of northern Australia, searching for some of the world's most dangerous reptiles.

Backyard Habitat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Backyard Habitat is an American television program about visiting families and amending backyards for the National Wildlife Federation. The show takes the form of a DIY-style program, with tips that are, it is suggested, easy for most viewers to achieve on their own. Within each episode, the hosts center on attracting a few specific varieties of wildlife (birds, animals, and insects); at the conclusion, the family is presented with a plaque, usually placed in the garden by the hosts, stating that the yard is now recognized by the NWF as a "backyard habitat". It is hosted by Molly Pesce (AKA Molly Scott) and David Mizejewski, a representative of the NWF. It is shown on the channel Animal Planet. Each episode runs approximately 30 minutes (including commercials). It was produced by RIVR Media.
Show structure[edit]
Beginning: The hosts introduce themselves and briefly explain the concept of the show and its mission: to create an "backyard habitat", officially recognized by the National Wildlife Federation, and introduce the family whose yard they are going to transform.
Middle: While David Mizejewski, the male co-host, helps the father of the household with the majority of the gruntwork, Molly Pesce and the mother of the household (usually along with the children) head to talk to a ranger, scientist, or some sort of expert on at least one of the species of wildlife they are hoping to attract with their modified yard or garden.
Conclusion: The hosts and family conclude working on the yard, at which point shortly thereafter the family is presented with an NWF "Backyard Wildlife Habitat" plaque. The hosts then invite the audience to view the garden, at which point various shots of the modified yard or garden are shown before and during the list of credits.

Big Cat Diary, also known as Big Cat Week or Big Cat Live according to the format of the show was a long-running nature documentary series on BBC television which follows the lives of African big cats in Kenya's Maasai Mara. The first series, broadcast on BBC One in 1996, was developed and jointly produced by Keith Scholey, who would go on to become Head of the BBC's Natural History Unit.[1] Eight further series have followed, most recently Big Cat Live, a live broadcast from the Mara in 2008.
The original presenters, Jonathan Scott and Simon King, were joined by Saba Douglas-Hamilton from 2002 onwards. Kate Silverton and Jackson Looseyia were added to the presenting team for Big Cat Live.

Background[edit]
The BBC Natural History Unit originally wanted to film in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, but when this proved too expensive, they switched to Kenya.[citation needed] Filming is timed to coincide with the arrival of the annual wildebeest migration in the Mara, which is when the most predators gather to take advantage of abundant prey.
Each series has followed the daily lives of a lion pride, a cheetah family and a leopard family. The crew, which can number up to 60 people,[2] use specially modified 4WD vehicles to travel around the Mara, tracking, spotting and filming the cats. The presenters also travel in the vehicles, addressing the camera as the action unfolds in front of them. They use names and develop personalities for particular cats to draw the audience into a relationship with them, creating empathy for the characters. The similarity to soap operas has led to Big Cat Diary being called "the original wildlife soap opera".[2]
Originally intended to be a one-off series, Big Cat Diary proved so popular that a further eight series have been broadcast to date, plus occasional specials. Recent series have drawn audiences of over 7 million viewers to BBC One,[3] and spawned a number of other programmes using the same 'Wildlife Diary' format, including Elephant Diaries (2005–2008), Chimp Week (2006), Big Bear Week (2006) and Orangutan Diary (2007–2009). For the first few series, the episodes were broadcast weekly, but since 2004, they have been shown on consecutive nights over the course of a single week. The 2004, 2005 and 2006 series were called Big Cat Week. Since 2005, the Big Cat Diary website has carried additional video footage from the field and in 2006, a spin-off series called Big Cat Uncut was broadcast on BBC Three immediately after the BBC One episodes.
On 5 October 2008, the series returned to British television screens as Big Cat Live, the BBC Natural History Unit's most ambitious live international broadcast. Host Kate Silverton and local Maasai guide Jackson Looseyia joined regular presenters King and Scott for two weeks of nightly live programmes on BBC One. Additional broadcast content included Little Big Cat on CBeebies and Big Cat Raw, a webcast hosted on BBC Online. An update programme with highlights was shown at Christmas 2008.[4]
The BBC have yet to announce whether the series will be recommissioned.
The Big Cat Stars[edit]
The Lion Prides[edit]
The Legacy of the Marsh Pride
They have been one of the most successful groups to be filmed for the entire big cat series. The longest-standing member of the pride to be featured on the show was Khali (died in 2004 at the age of 14 years old), who was eight years old when Big Cat Diary started in 1996.
As of 19 January 2010:
The surviving cubs of the 1998 buffalo attack were the oldest lionesses in the pride: White-Eye and the blonde sisters, Bibi and Lispy. There are also the "Three Graces", Joy, Charm and Beauty, three young females who had broken away from the main pride and formed a satellite group. Three Graces are the daughters of Notch and were born in 2005. The pride has had a succession of male leaders who were filmed during the series, Scar and Scruffy (1998-2000), Simba and Blondie (2000-2004), Notch and Light Male (2004-2007), Clawed and Romeo (2007-2011). The current leaders of the pride are four males known as the "Four Musketeers" named Scarface, Sikio, Morani, and Hunter. Jackson Looseyia reported in a blog entry that Red had died.
In 2003 Bibi was kicked out of the pride and was featured on the first series of Big Cat Week as she struggled to raise her two cubs without the support of the pride, though she was later accepted back into the main Marsh Pride).
Ridge Pride's Tale
This pride has only appeared in the more recent series. The main lions in this pride are Cheza and Sala. These two are young cubs that are growing up together despite having different parents. They were one of the main features of the 2004 series. As adults, they have since joined forces with another young lion from the Ridge pride and have taken over a nearby pride. Another former member of this pride was Solo, the only survivor of a litter of 3 or 4 cubs. He left his pride well before Cheza and Sala arrived; he teamed up with one of his older cousins to take over a pride. Solo was born in 2000 and was featured in the 3rd series of Big Cat Diary in 2000 and later in 4th series in 2002.
Tamu, the Lone Mother and and Her Four Cubs
The focus of the 2006 series was Tamu, a lone lioness with four cubs fathered by Notch of the Marsh Pride. In Swahili, her name means "the beautiful one" and indeed she was. Tamu was a social outcast and had to hunt and raise her cubs alone without benefits of pride protection and without help rearing her four cubs. Alone, she faced daily hostility from Marsh Pride lionesses, male subadults, and, most deadly, adult male rogue lions roaming Marsh territory. Her biggest test occurred when a solitary rogue male invaded her den to kill her cubs (which forces females into early estrus so that the rogue male can then mate and impregnate her with his own offspring). This attack, though defended by Tamu, left one cub fatally injured and the rest scattered among the bush. Tamu was only able to collect two cubs immediately following the aftermath (one being the injured cub who ultimately died), escaping with them to a distant new den space, forcing her to abandon the remaining two cubs without knowing their fate or location. Tamu, once establishing a new den site for the one injured and one healthy cub, then persisted in her instinct to find her lost two cubs, and was forced to leave the two survivors at the new site to return to the site of the attack and search for the missing. After multiple searches over the next two and a half days, Tamu's searching was successful, and the missing two cubs were reunited with the other sole surviving sibling to the new den site where the fourth deceased cub ultimately perished. The cause of death was a fatal wound inflicted by the rogue male, and the audience watched as Tamu and the cubs investigated, licked, and acknowledged the death of their sibling. After a day Tamu moved her young into the heart of Marsh territory to a den area most frequented by the rest of the pride, in spite of the danger of being so near the Marsh Pride lionesses, who ultimately tried to oust Tamu and her cubs in attempted attacks upon her. The rationale for this decision is that although she is endangered by this decision, her cubs would be spared by Notch, the pride male who fathered the cubs.
Lions of the Big Pride
Big Pride is also known as Acacia Pride or Gorge Pride and they were filmed in 1996, in the 1st series of the show with an incredible numbers of 27 lions.
Cheetahs in the Hostile World[edit]
Kidogo and Her Two Cubs
In the 1st series, the show followed first-time mother Kidogo and her adventures trying to protect her two 12-weeks old cubs. While most cheetahs focus their hunting during the day, Kidogo was noted for waking and hunting late in the day. In one of Big Cat Diary's few episodes filmed at night, Kidogo and cubs are watched as they come dangerously close to hunting lions. One of the most dramatic events in this series was when one of the cubs got its leg caught in a tree for several agonizing minutes. She eventually freed herself with no apparent damage to the leg.
Fundi and Her Two Cubs
Fundi was also part of the 1st series and continued for many years onwards. Fundi hunted regularly in thick acacia trees to keep her two adolescent cubs well-fed, unusual for cheetahs who usually hunt on open plains. Fundi means "craftsman" in Swahili and she really was a craftman in her unique hunting tecnique. Just after Simon noticed that the male cub was limping, the crew lost Fundi and cubs for a while.
Amber and Her Cubs (sometimes known as Queen)
Amber was first seen in the 2nd series of the show in September 1998 as mother to three cubs of 16 months old. She was habituated to use cars as vantage points to spot danger or prey. She was last seen and filmed in later October 2000 during the 3rd series of the show.
Kimbia,The Territorial Male
Kimbia was the territorial male cheetah of Amber's home range, filmed in in 3rd Big Cat Diary in September-October 2000.
Kike and Her Three Cubs
Amber's daughter Kike (pronounced "Keekay") returned in the first series of Big Cat Week in September 2003. Discovered at Rhino Ridge, Kike was mother to three cubs of nearly 9 months old. This was Kike's fourth litter, but she had not before raised even one cub successfully. Like her mother Amber had, Kike used the jeeps as vantage points to watch for danger or prey and even occasionally as toilets. The three cubs went on to appear in the 2004's Big Cat Week. In an October 2008 webcast of Big Cat Raw, Jonathan Scott explained that given Kike's age and that she had not been spotted recently, she had probably died. He confirmed that her three cubs have survived and that her daughter Itchy has raised cubs of her own. Itchy was filmed in the 1st series of Planet Earth and her another daughter was named as Serena who is mother of Malaika, the cheetah.
Honey and Her Cubs Including Toto
Honey first featured on Big Cat Diary in 2002, where she was struggling to raise three young cubs, even to the point of seeing off a male lion to keep them safe. For 2005's Big Cat Week, viewers were introduced to her young cub, Toto, a Swahili word meaning "the little one". Honey was not credited on screen as Toto's mother because this was not known until after the series was filmed.[5] When he was first filmed, it was estimated that Toto was only 6–8 weeks old, making him the youngest cheetah cub ever to be filmed on Big Cat Diary. Keeping Toto alive seemed to be a constant battle for his mother: he survived close encounters with baboons, lions, and other dangers. It is estimated that only 25% of cheetah cubs make it to maturity.
In the final episode of the series, Toto went missing overnight after a storm, and was not found. It was reported a few days later that Honey was found living alone. Nobody knows what exactly happened, but Toto had not survived. The end credits that year consisted entirely of footage of Toto.
Honey returned in the 2006, 4th series. When filming began, she had four cubs, but one, a female, was soon lost in a lion attack. The cub was last seen alive feasting when Jonathan Scott noted that Honey was being risky by letting her cubs feed for so long. The cub was found the next day by Honey, dead, in a thicket of grass.
In February 2007, nearly a year before she last appeared on screen, Honey was killed after a vet accidentally shot her in the wrong place with a tranquilizing dart. The dart did not go into the muscle but hit her in the stomach near her kidneys. Oblivious to his mistake, the vet went on to treat Honey's cub while she was left out in the scorching afternoon sun.[6]
In April 2008, Honey's three remaining cubs, all males, were still doing well and named as Snap (M-1), Crackle (M-2) and Pop (M-3). After her death, the Mara Conservancy had to provide food for them for several months. However, they were now fully grown and can hunt together and have become self-sufficient. It is believed they have even taken down an adult topi.[7] They have also been seen hunting zebra, a risky prey species for cheetah due to their kicking hooves.[8]
In October 2008, the three now fully grown sons of Honey were filmed during Big Cat Live. They had all formed a strong bond and are actively seeking to mate with females. Unfortunately, this led to them having a confrontation with Shakira and her cubs. Eventually, Crackle (M-2) was killed by lions in 2011 and just two years later in 2013, Pop (M-3)too became the victim of lions.S nap (M-1) was named as "Mjuzi" which means "the last survivor" in Swahili. He was last spotted in April 2013.
Shakira and Her Cubs Including Duma
In 2005's Big Cat Week, Jonathan Scott (while following the story of Honey and Toto) introduced viewers to Duma and her mother (later named Shakira). In Big Cat Diary: Family Histories, Duma and Toto's Story, Scott told the story of Duma in more detail, revealing the moment she left her mother to become independent.
In Big Cat Live in 2008, Scott again followed the story of Shakira. This time however, Shakira had 5 cubs of nearly 2 months old. They faced a terrible encounter with the some of the lions of Marsh pride including Romeo, the pride male. Just after this incident two of the cubs died during the series (possibly killed by hyenas). So far, the three remaining cubs, all female, have survived. The cubs have been called Moja, Mbili and Tatu, meaning "one", "two" and "three" in Swahili.
The Leopard Stars of Mara[edit]
Legacy of the Leopard Gorge
Big Cat Diary only followed one leopard family through each generation. This family started with Half-Tail, a 9 years old female in 1996, one of the most famous big cats who appeared on the show for quite a few years. She was named Half-Tail after a clash with baboons or lions in which she lost half her tail. This incident happened in 1993 when she was about 6 years old. She is the only leopard in the show who was not shown killing any large prey on screen. Half-Tail only ever managed to raise three cubs. Beauty (born in 1992) and Shadow (born in 1996) were her daughters and were both featured in the 1st series. She also raised a male cub called Mang'aa. Half-Tail had her sixth (final) litter of cubs in 1998 when she was nearly 11 years old but was killed when she attacked Maasai livestock. As her cubs were too young to feed themselves they died shortly afterwards. Shadow was to be the next leopard they followed and she went on to have a cub herself called Safi in 2000, who was rather shy of the cameras. Safi was born in January 2000. When the show returned in 2002, Shadow had a new litter of cubs. This was her 4th litter but, sadly, all of them died. In 2003 a new family was chosen, ending the line. Shadow was filmed briefly for Big Cat Week, Series-3 in 2005 (broadcast in 2006); however the footage was not shown during that series. The footage would later air in a special documentary called Big Cat Uncut.
Bella and Her Extended Family
Bella and her two cubs of 3 months old were found by presenter Saba Douglas-Hamilton in the 1st series of Big Cat Week in September,2003. Tiny Chui and his sister really provided a promising series. Months after filming ended, Chui's sister vanished. It later became clear she was dead, probably killed by lions. In 2005, the public and crew said goodbye to Chui and saw what should have been the final shots of them together, as he would leave Bella's side and protection sometime after filming. In October 2006, it was announced on their website that Chui had now been chased away by the resident male and Bella was now mating again. Chui has now been reported to have moved to a new territory downriver, where he was seen mating with a new female in Bella's adjacent territory. In Big Cat Live, viewers were introduced to Olive. Olive is Bella's daughter from 2000, before Chui was born. Olive has three cubs, one male, eight-month-old Kali, and two females, Ayah and Binti, independent from their mother. Bella, Olive, Ayah, Binti and Kali were nicknamed the "Jackson Five" after new presenter Jackson Looseyia, who was following their progress. The names Olive, Kali, Binti and Ayah were given to these leopards by Paul Kirui, veteran safari guide and a spotter for the leopard filming crew since 2006. The "Jackson Five" is intriguing because three generations of these normally solitary cats are living together.
On 2nd September 2009, Looseyia posted on his blog a picture of Olive carrying a cub in her mouth. She has a new litter of cubs. Looseyia stated it would appear to be two cubs. Kali has been chased away by Olive. Bella has since died.
Olive was killed by lions in September 2013.
Mara Triangle Conservancy has recently spotted Chui in Mara. He moved to Mara about 6 years ago and he is 10 yrs old now.

Chronology

Dogs 101
Breed All About It was a show that headlined one breed of dog, or a group of dogs, and presented facts and advice about that breed. It was aired Animal Planet. The series was hosted by Cam "Buzz" Brainard.
Earlier episodes of the series were significantly different from later episodes because they were produced for non-commercial broadcast on networks like the BBC networks and PBS.[citation needed] After the show moved to Animal Planet permanently, episodes became more structured, with specific segments dealing with different aspects of the dog breed. Sectioned included a general introduction, the breed's history, specific health concerns for that breed, an offbeat or humorous segment featuring the unique traits of the breed, and a summary guide for what prospective owners should know about the breed.
Occasionally segments within episodes would feature one or more celebrities who own the featured dog breed, including their testimonials about life with their dogs. Some of the celebrities featured on Breed All About It include Susan Ford and her Golden Retrievers, Greg Louganis and his Great Danes, Lorrie Morgan and her Japanese Chins, and Andrew Weil and his Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
It is unknown if Breed All About It will return to air after the show ended on January 1, 2010. However, the Animal Planet website has archived video clips of individual dog breeds.[1]

Call of the Wildman is an American reality television series that airs on the Animal Planet network. The third season of the series is currently airing. The show follows the exploits of Kentucky woodsman Ernie Brown, Jr., nicknamed "The Turtleman". Aided by his friend, Neal James, and his dog, Lolly, Brown operates a nuisance animal removal business, while he catches and releases nuisance animals. The series is primarily filmed near Brown's Lebanon, Kentucky, home.
Brown began catching snapping turtles from ponds near his home at the age of 7. He came to the attention of Animal Planet producers in part after an episode of Kentucky Educational Television's Kentucky Afield series that featured his bare-handed turtle-catching techniques was posted on YouTube and went viral. After personally visiting Brown and doing some initial filming, network executives decided to produce a 12-episode season of the series with the working title The Turtleman of Wild Kentucky. The title was soon changed to Call of the Wildman, a reference to Brown's distinctive yell that punctuates his actions throughout the series. The series was Animal Planet's most watched program in the fourth quarter of 2011 and was renewed for a second, 16-episode series that began airing in June 2012. On October 2012, Animal Planet has re-released the series with bonus features and trivia information known as Call of the Wildman: More Live Action.
Call of the Wildman has been compared to other reality series featuring individuals from the Southern United States such as Billy the Exterminator, Duck Dynasty, Swamp People, and Rocket City Rednecks. Because it depicts Brown's spartan existence in the backwoods of Kentucky, some poverty advocacy groups have expressed concerns that it exploits stereotypical views of Southerners as being poorly educated, poorly groomed, and impoverished. Network executives insist, however, that they have received no negative feedback about the program.
Season 4 will begin on August 24, 2014.

Development[edit]
In 2006, the Kentucky Educational Television series Kentucky Afield devoted a portion of their weekly hunting and fishing oriented show to Brown and his turtle catching.[citation needed] The segment was posted on YouTube and went viral; as of June 2012, it had garnered more than 4 million hits.[1] The video and a similar one posted on the web site of the Lexington Herald-Leader newspaper attracted the attention of television producer Matt Sharp of Sharp Entertainment.[2] Brown relates that, while performing as a sideshow at the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, a group of executives from Sharp Entertainment and Animal Planet, who were there on an unrelated assignment, approached him about doing a television show.[3] The executives told Brown that they had been trying to get in touch with him for over a year, but that his fellow performers had refused to deliver their messages to him.[3]
In November 2010, Sharp sent a camera crew to film some of Brown's exploits.[2] After seeing the footage, a producer from Animal Planet visited Brown and challenged him to "entertain [her] for 12 hours".[2] Brown told the Herald-Leader that he took the producer on an outing in which he caught 11 turtles and a catfish.[2] Following the producer's visit, Animal Planet decided to air a series of 12 half-hour episodes featuring Brown.[4] Originally given the working title The Turtleman of Wild Kentucky, the name was changed to Call of the Wildman – a reference to Brown's signature yell.[4][5] Brown describes the yell as "an Indian yell" and explains, "I got a quarter Shawnee and a quarter Cherokee. The other quarter is white man – that's a Yankee, Union – and another quarter is Confederate".[6] In addition, Brown frequently uses the catchphrase "Live action!" during the series.[5] He explains that "'Live action' means there’s no faking. People have been calling me fake, and there ain’t no fake. Go ahead and try it! We’re doing it live action."[5]
Premise[edit]
Despite his "Turtleman" nickname, Brown catches all types of nuisance animals, including raccoons, skunks, snakes, venomous spiders, and possums.[7] His animal catching technique is designed to protect both himself and the animal from harm.[8] Once he captures an animal, he relocates it to a safer location in the wild.[8] For his services, he typically only receives an amount sufficient to cover the cost of gasoline to drive to and from his destination.[8]
In each episode of Call of the Wildman, Brown is accompanied by his best friend, Neal James, and his dog, Lolly. James serves as the secretary for Brown's business, fielding telephone calls from individuals in need of his services.[9] Lolly has been Brown's pet ever since he rescued her from wandering the streets in the aftermath of a 2009 ice storm.[9] He doesn't know her exact breed, but he believes her to be part Border Collie and part Australian Cattle Dog.[9] Some episodes also feature other friends who help Brown – "Turtle Team" – including handyman Jake Ison and David "Squirrel" Brady.[10]
Detractors of the series have stated that while Ernie Brown does actually catch the animals with his hands (meaning it is not computer generated), the scenarios and animal catching scenes are scripted and faked using appropriated animals instead of naturally occurring events. In 2013, the city of Danville, Kentucky released a report an investigation which found that the city parks department and the crew failed to obtain the required approvals before they released poisonous snakes into a Danville public pool in order to stage an apparent infestation of poisonous snakes in the city pools there.[11] In addition, the director of the Kentucky Reptile Zoo, Jim Harrison, identified the species of snakes which were used in the scene which are not indigenous to the area where the scene was filmed, meaning that it was impossible for the scene to have occurred naturally.[12]
After a seven month investigation, Mother Jones published an expose of the show which includes testimony and supporting evidence that the crew obtained an opossum from a wildlife rescue in order to fake a supposed wildlife infestation at a fraternity house in Lexington, and that an infant raccoon died from an apparent lack of appropriate food and medical care after being in the possession of Ernie Brown for several days amongst numerous other actions alleged against Brown and crew.[13]
Reception[edit]
A 2012 press release from Animal Planet announced that Call of the Wildman was the network's most popular show in the fourth quarter of 2011, garnering almost 780,000 viewers, and had been renewed for a second season consisting of 16 episodes, including a special episode to air during the network's "Monster Week".[14] The release further noted that, in the second season, the show would film in locations other than Kentucky, naming Louisiana as an example.[10] The episode "Baby Mama Drama", which aired July 8, 2012, set a record for the show's largest audience ever, an estimated 1.6 million, according to the network.[15]
The popularity of Call of the Wildman has prompted Brown's appearance on several television programs, including two visits to The Tonight Show.[16] Shortly after telling his hometown newspaper, the Lebanon Enterprise that he wanted to meet CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper, Brown was invited to appear on an episode of Cooper's show, Anderson Cooper 360°.[16] He told the paper he still has a dream of being on the cover of Rolling Stone.[16]
Associated Press writer Dylan Lovan pointed out that Call of the Wildman was part of a growing number of similarly-themed reality shows that included Animal Planet's Hillbilly Handfishin', A&E's Billy the Exterminator and Duck Dynasty, and History's Swamp People.[1] The Washington Post's Roger Catlin pointed out that many of the shows feature individuals from the Southern United States and include pejorative terms like "redneck" and "hillbilly" in their titles; in addition to "Hillbilly Handfishin'", he cited National Geographic Channel's Rocket City Rednecks and CMT's My Big Redneck Vacation.[17] Lovan noted that "Brown fits the mold of the distinct Southern characters who populate cable TV", noting that he lives in a small home with no television or phone service, is missing his front teeth, and carries a foot-long Bowie knife he nicknamed "Thunder".[1]
Ted Ownby of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture stated that he believes producers of shows such as Call of the Wildman "build on preexisting stereotypes, so they don't need to build characters", and added that "people of the South get frustrated at the narrow range of representations [of them]".[17] Dee Davis, president of the Center for Rural Strategies, expressed his concern that the shows approach "the thin line between an honest documentary and exploitative reality show".[1] Animal Planet president Marjorie Kaplan insisted, "We haven't received any negative response at all" to the show.[17] Commenting on the potential for the show to advance negative stereotypes of Southerners, Animal Planet executive Dawn Sinsel added, "As with all shows that explore a subculture of America that people might not be familiar with, we're careful to make sure that we represent the talent in their true colors and not 'cover up' their natural character. Turtleman likes to catch all types of animals. We hope Ernie's carefree and loyal personality and love of animals will replace any stereotypes."[2] Brown himself commented "You either like the show and watch it, or you don't. I'm not doing anything wrong, just cheering people up."[1]
Legal issues[edit]
In August 2013, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife sent Ernie Brown a warning letter that some of his actions on the show were a violation of his Nuisance Wildlife Control Officer permit, and that any future violations could result in the revocation of his permit and/or a citation [18]
Since the release of the Mother Jones report on January 21, 2014 [13] Kentucky state agencies have increased scrutiny of Mr. Brown because some records filed with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife that detailed what was captured, released and euthanized on Call of the Wildman appear to have been falsified, according to the Mother Jones report. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is also reviewing the situation in order to determine whether violations of the Animal Welfare Act were made by the production company and film crew by not having appropriate federal licensing to display regulated animals on television according to a statement by Tanya Espinosa, a spokeswoman of the USDA.[19] Both the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have weighed in on the issue, and are demanding an immediate investigation by the USDA regarding the allegations of improper treatment of animals filmed for the program, and the lack of proper licensing during the filming of several episodes.[20] Plans are also underway to file state and local lawsuits with state and local wildlife humane officers regarding the mistreatment of animals alleged in the report.[19]
Because of the controversy, Call of the Wildman no longer airs in Canada.[21]

Vanessa Garnick[edit]
"Vanessa, a naturalist, goes on global adventures with Caught in the Moment co-host Tristan Bayer to film endangered species and animals in rare, beautiful and time-sensitive moments.
Caught in the Moment does not mark Vanessa’s first foray into the entertainment industry. At the early age of two, Vanessa sang and danced in front of 400 people at her parents’ Playhouse Theatre in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and she’s been entertaining ever since.
Vanessa grew up in Buffalo Valley on the outskirts of Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks in Wyoming. She was raised on a dude ranch 40 miles from the nearest store, and got her first horse at age 5. A combination of cowboy naturalists and artsy theater gurus, Vanessa’s parents nurtured her desires for a career incorporating stage, screen and music mixed with her love for the wild world of animals and exotic travel. Between cooking on pack trips for her family’s Triangle C Ranch and starring in off-Broadway musicals, Vanessa found a passion for language and art.
The eldest of eight children, Vanessa forged the way for her siblings. Her experiences with her large, close-knit family became the building blocks for her unique perspective on life and contributed to her vivacious and endearing personality.
During her eighth-grade year, Vanessa traveled to Africa for a half-year trip with her grandparents. Living in a cow-manure hut with the Masaai tribe, she discovered a deep love for Third World countries and exotic adventure. It was in Africa where she caught the travel bug, and her desire to see new places has only increased with time. Vanessa began scrapbooking, journaling, sketching and painting, and even wrote children’s books. Fluent in Spanish, she taught English as a second language to Spanish-speaking children.
Vanessa became a certified naturalist with the National Forest Service, taught art classes at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, and designed theater sets for multiple productions.
Vanessa has played several roles in independent films, wildlife and reality shows, and music videos. In addition, she travels the world as a freelance art and travel consultant. When she's not filming, Vanessa guides adventure tours in Brazil, Australia, Argentina, Chile, England, Japan, Costa Rica and throughout the United States. As part of the music group The SaddleRock Sisters, Vanessa, with four of her sisters, acquired a record deal with DreamWorks and recorded in London and Nashville. The SaddleRock Sisters now are creating their own label and record sassy country-rock harmonies in Wyoming.
In her spare time, Vanessa learns foreign languages, paints, creates graphic design and builds her worldwide travel company. She lives in Panama, but regularly heads to her family home in the Wyoming mountains to ride her painted pony, breathe fresh air and get back to nature."
Tristan Bayer[edit]
"Tristan, a young wildlife filmmaker, goes on global adventures with Caught in the Moment co-host naturalist Vanessa Garnick to film endangered species and animals in rare, beautiful and time-sensitive moments.
Tristan's first production experience occurred when he was just 2 weeks old and he began traveling with his parents, a wildlife filmmaking team that journeyed to the far corners of the world to shoot documentaries. He's never looked back.
When Tristan was 2 years old, he traveled with his parents to East Africa, where they were making a film. He began learning about other cultures and memorizing the Swahili names of animals while floating above the African landscape in hot air balloons and chasing elephants in Range Rovers. These experiences were the building blocks for his unique point of view while growing up in the small town of Jackson Hole, Wyo., on the outskirts of Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks.
Throughout his schooling, Tristan took advantage of every opportunity to skip class to work overseas as a crew member with his father, a renowned cinematographer, Wolfgang Bayer. They made wildlife films for such companies as Discovery Communications, Nature, Nova, National Geographic, ABC and PBS. Tristan started keeping written journals and sketches, and then took up still photography. Soon, he got his hands on a video camera. He began shooting behind-the-scenes video of his trips and presented his adventures to his classmates back in Wyoming. In junior high school, Tristan found himself creating multimedia "show-and-tell" presentations that entertained and educated his peers. Occasionally, Tristan's work was published in magazines such as Ranger Rick. In seventh grade, Tristan was named "Media Student of the Year" in recognition of his still photography and video achievements as well as his technical skills.
In eighth grade, after much soul searching, Tristan made up his mind that he wanted to be a painter, 3D animator, biologist, stuntman and, of course, an astronaut. In his spare time, he wanted to maintain his hobbies as a photographer and videographer. Little did he know that these experiences with media and the natural world would spawn a career that combined all his favorite disciplines into one.
Tristan is now the owner of *EarthNative Inc., a multimedia production company. EarthNative is dedicated to pushing the limits on the communication of ideas through creative storytelling and expression. Tristan has traveled the planet as a freelance director/cinematographer, worked on adventure races in Brazil, shot behind the scenes during the Academy Awards, directed music videos, worked as a director of photography on feature films, and appeared in front of the camera, as well. Tristan wrote, edited, narrated, co-directed a feature length film, Earthling with his father. Playing themselves, each member of the Bayer family revealed Earthling at its world premiere at the 2005 Seattle International Film Festival, and they will screen the film at festivals all over the world as a 35mm big-screen cinematic experience in digital surround sound.
In his spare time, Tristan works to develop ways of combining his new style of multimedia "show and tell" with his childhood dreams of space exploration. Tristan regularly heads back to beautiful Jackson Hole to recharge his mind, body and spirit with the fresh mountain air."
