• 7/13 8:00AMQueen of the Everglades
  "Marlin and Jim take us into one of the wildest areas of the natural wild kingdom in the U.S., the vast Everglades."
• 7/13 8:30AMSurvival in the Sun
  "Even under searing temperatures of 120 degrees or more, life tenaciously takes hold in the Sonora Desert. This American Southwestern region is an arena of daily competition…between animals, plants and insects, struggling to survive the extremes and severities of the desert’s environment. It’s truly a “survival of the fittest,” and a ruggedly beautiful adventure. Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler are there observing as predator hunts its prey, be it the grey fox, badger or sidewinder snake. Then you’ll be part of the intense excitement as a peccary…the only true wild pig in the United States…becomes the target of Marlin’s capture gun, which shoots a harmless, sleep-inducing drug into the animal. The peccary is then tagged, so that its habits may be more carefully studied, and that life, under the difficult circumstances of the Sonora, may be more clearly understood by man."
• 7/13 9:00AMPoles Apart
  "Many animals dwell in the wild kingdom that literally are ‘poles apart’ in structure, habits and adaptations. In the laboratory and in the wild, Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler explore and explain such extreme contrasts such as: the slow heartbeat of the elephant and the rapid beat of a mouse; the alligators’ jaws built to crush and a tropical bird’s beak built to pry; birds that migrate and birds that ‘stay put’; a bird that flies a mile a minute and a sloth that travels a food a day."
