When Genoveva opens her magic book, the screen is filled with feathers, beaks, horns, legs, wings, and snouts. Genoveva's magic book transports her to various habitats where she learns about the animals that live there. In this episode, Genoveva takes a crouching walk under the sun with the lions.
Gorongosa National Park was once famous for its lion population. However, during Mozambique’s struggle for independence and subsequent civil war, the park’s iconic wildlife was slaughtered. In 2008, a massive ecosystem restoration project began. Today, many animals are bouncing back in large numbers, but it is unclear if the lions are also making a strong recovery. Paola Bouley heads the “Gorongosa Lion Project,” an effort to document the lions’ response to the park’s restoration and identify any factors that may be limiting their recovery.

Wildlife expert Casey Anderson takes on the task of tracking and filming one of North America’s most elusive predators, the mountain lion. He and his hounds set out to track a mountain lion hoping to study its anatomy and leaping ability. Part of the "Expedition Wild" series.
A community of sea lions annually visits an island in the Gulf of California, where the babies are born and must be taught to swim. Compares seals and sea lions. Details physical characteristics, diet, behaviors, and enemies. The only enemy this "grizzly bear of the sea" cannot fight is fishing boats.
The unique hard bottom reefs off the coast of the Carolinas are home to a dynamic and delicately balanced ecosystem. A population of invasive lionfish has moved into the area. Their presence is disrupting this ecosystem and threatening the commercial fish industry.
Host Jeff Corwin races to the west coast to uncover the secrets behind a marine mammal disaster. Thousands of weak sea lion pups have been stranded along beaches throughout Southern California. Jeff is on a mission of research, rescue, and recovery.
A tale about a lion that was born to be king of the jungle and finds an enemy in the leopard that is the sultan. From the Kool Books series narrated by Hector Bonilla.
In 1898, two African lions began attacking railway workers in Tsavo, Kenya. First reports estimated that 135 people fell victim to these "man-eaters," but further research published in 2009 lessened that number to 35 individuals. Over the years, different theories as to what motivated these attacks have varied, and recently host Emily Graslie got to talk with two experts who are working towards finding an answer. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Lurking in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean is an unwelcome predator. The lionfish is an invader, and it is far from its home on coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific basin. The mystery of how they got here has slowly unraveled. A showy species for personal aquariums, they were likely dumped off the Florida coast when no longer wanted. Several small releases of lionfish have led to a population explosion that has increased 1,000 percent in less than 5 years.
With support from the National Science Foundation, wildlife ecologist Chris Wilmers and his team developed a collar to help them learn more about the behavior, metabolism and habitat preferences of mountain lions. In addition to its location, the animal’s behavior and physiology are recorded in unprecedented detail. They’re learning more about how the cats respond to different stimuli, such as climate, and interactions with other animals, and changes in the landscape created by development. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
In this episode, a team of vets helps a sea lion that has fishing gear tangled around its neck. At Delaware Bay, rescuers save a dolphin that is stranded. Part of the "Sea Rescue" series.
This episode highlights the story of an eight-year-old animal lover who comes to the rescue of a sea lion. Then, in Florida, a rescue team leaps into action to save an endangered leatherback sea turtle. Part of the "Sea Rescue" series.
The natural world is filled with "moments of impact"-the split seconds when animals come into contact with one another and the world around them. Previously many of these moments were too fast or too hidden for us to see. But now new camera technologies reveal what's behind these remarkable moments, and cutting edge animations illustrate the "inside story" of animal bioengineering that allows each moment of impact to take place.
In this episode, the Busch Gardens Tampa animal care team gives updates on all kinds of baby animals they have treated. Out on the Serengeti Plain, the team checks on a baby zebra named Stitch, a baby rhinoceros named Jasiri, and two giraffe calves Tina and Arrow.
