EXPEDITION WEEK "When Crocs Ate Dinosaurs" on National Geographic Channel

Watch a sneak peek of EXPEDITION WEEK "When Crocs Ate Dinosaurs" which airs tonight, Saturday, November 21 at 9PM ET/PT on the National Geographic Channel.
Synopsis: EXPEDITION WEEK "When Crocs Ate Dinosaurs" - Some hundred million years ago, crocodiles were the ruling T. rexes of the waters. They galloped on land, ambushed prey at the river’s edge … even terrorized dinosaurs. And more, these swift predators evolved through the ages into the modern crocs we know today. Now, armed with newly discovered prehistoric crocodile bones, Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Paul Sereno is determined to bring the ancient creatures to life — and tell their fantastic untold story. Learn about a croc that pursued prey across land, a supercroc that locked its jaws around dinos, with a startlingly canine face. Blending art, forensics and biology, a team reanimates a lost world of strange Cretaceous crocs that paleontology forgot.

EXPEDITION WEEK "The First Jesus?" on National Geographic Channel

Watch a sneak peek of EXPEDITION WEEK "The First Jesus?" which airs tonight, Friday, November 20 at 9PM ET/PT on the National Geographic Channel.
Synopsis: EXPEDITION WEEK "The First Jesus?" - He was called the King of the Jews, believed to be a Messiah. Just before Passover, the Romans beheaded him and crucified many of his followers outside Jerusalem. But his name was not Jesus ... it was Simon, a self-proclaimed Messiah who died four years before Christ was born. Now, new analysis of a three-foot-tall stone tablet from the first century B.C., being hailed by scholars as a "Dead Sea Scroll on stone," speaks of an early Messiah and his resurrection. Was Simon of Peraea real? Did his life serve as the prototype of a Messiah for Jesus and his followers? And could this tablet shake up the basic premise of Christianity? We'll [...]

DOG WHISPERER "How To Raise a Puppy" Season 6 Premiere

The DOG WHISPERER returns for an all new season tonight on the National Geographic Channel with a special episode "How To Raise a Puppy" airing at 9pm.
This episode accompanies Cesar Millan's new book How to Raise the Perfect Dog: Through Puppyhood and Beyond (for which we'll have a review on Daemon's Books soon, so keep an eye out).
I am a huge fan of Dog Whisperer and this was one of my favorite episodes because it taught you so much about some of the things you need to do when you get a puppy. Plus seeing it in action is always better than simply reading about it. One of my friend actually just got a dog and I'm going to make sure she watches this episode, I think it'll be really helpful and instructive.
And if you're already a fan of the show, you're definitely going to enjoy this episode. If nothing [...]

Dog Whisperer Season 6 with Cesar Millan Debutes on Tuesday, October 6

[Press Release - Released by National Geographic Channel]
In five seasons and more than 100 episodes, Cesar has seen every canine case imaginable ― red-zone aggression, fearful anxiety and just plain weird. But never before has he shown viewers how they can avoid these problems from the very start! In the sixth season premiere of DOG WHISPERER WITH CESAR MILLAN: How to Raise the Perfect Dog, Cesar goes back to the basics, adopting four adorable pups and filming them living with him and his pack for their first eight months to show viewers how to avoid problems from the very start.
"I realize I may actually be putting myself out of business with this episode," joked the three-time Emmy nominee. "But I wanted to adopt four different breeds and work with them in my pack from the very beginning, showing that if you prevent bad behaviors in puppyhood, you [...]

National Geographic: Climbing Redwood Giants

[Press Release - Released by National Geographic]
They are living giants -- among Earth's largest and longest-lived trees. Some tower higher than 350 feet, or taller than the Statue of Liberty; some may have been seedlings when Jesus was born. These natural legends house secret-garden worlds high up in their canopies and shroud centuries-old mysteries.
This fall, National Geographic magazine and National Geographic Channel (NGC) journey deep into the great redwood forests on the American West Coast for an illuminating look at these magnificent wonders -- from the outermost edges of the forest to the tip of a single tree's crown. For the first time, we'll size up the health and future of the redwood range on foot and scale the trees' hulking limbs 30 stories up to glimpse rich canopy ecosystems in the clouds. Then, we'll see how state-of-the-art digital technology provides a never-before-seen perspective of a [...]

RESCUE INK UNLEASHED on The National Geographic Channel

Think Law And Order but for Animals.
[Press Release - Release By National Geographic Channel]
(WASHINGTON, D.C. -- AUGUST 18, 2009) In New York's war on animal abuse, some of the worst offenders are pursued by a group of tattooed motorcycle-riding tough guys on a mission to save animals in danger. They call themselves Rescue Ink, and these are their stories.
In a metropolitan area with more than 20 million residents, thousands of animals -- dogs, cats, and even chickens and piranhas -- are neglected, abused, hoarded or housed illegally. A few years ago, eight tough guys from the mean streets, who frequented hot rod shows and tattoo parlors, discovered their strongest bond was actually a passion for animals -- and they formed a rescue organization like no other. Some have violent and turbulent pasts, complete with run-ins with the law, but all are seeking redemption and solace in their [...]
