Episode 1: A Cheetah Story
2003-10-12Episode 2: The Ultimate Crocodile
2003-10-19Join National Geographic as they travel to the wilds of Africa to track the Nile crocodile, one of Earth's deadliest and most feared killers. The Nile crocodile is an ancient species-it has haunted Africa's waters since the age of dinosaurs. Yet in over 60 million years, this stealthy creature has changed little. A croc in its prime can reach 18 feet in length or longer, and weigh nearly a ton. It can lunge several feet in the blink of an eye and subdue prey as large as a buffalo. Once nearly decimated by hunters, these mighty giant crocodiles are making an amazing comeback. In a land where lions rule the savannah, Nile crocodiles are now reclaiming the rivers.

2007-12-02In China, archaeologists unearth ancient mummies with European facial features, blond hair and blue eyes. Where did these Caucasians come? Four bodies, a scattering of clues, a mystery whose solution could rewrite history. National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Spencer Wells, opens an ancient case of missing persons, using the latest advances in DNA technology to determine the origins of a group of enigmatic mummies found in western China. What he learns may change what we know about the world. The four individuals were part of a vanished world that existed in western China between 2600 and 4000 years ago - long before Marco Polo or the Silk Road. Yet these long-buried corpses look European and were found with tools that didn't exist yet in that part of the world. Who were they? Where did they come from? And how might they have affected the spread of culture and technology in prehistoric times?
