Humans and dogs

[ 05:02 ]

Evolved from just a handful of wolves in Asia some 15 thousand years ago, dogs now come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and temperaments. Dogs aren’t the only domesticated animals, but somehow have become man’s best friend. Wild Chronicles follows an anthropologist as he explores one particular skill that perhaps only dogs possess that make them man’s closest companion.

Otter Babies

Colorado Mountain Lions
Colorado Division of Wildlife researchers have undertaken an ambitious study of mountain lions.

C-Cam Dugong
Australia’s Shark Bay is home to thousands of dugongs, as well as a major predator, the tiger shark. It seems a mismatch, but somehow the slow moving dugongs manage to evade the sharks. National Geographic’s Crittercam® team is on the scene to gather clues and…what they discover is surprising.

Bowhead Whales
The bowhead whale is one of the Arctic’s great mysteries, said to live up to two centuries or longer. Hunted to near extinction, no one really knows for sure how many are alive today. Off the coast of Greenland, researchers use Crittercam® to shed some light on the mysteries of these “old men of the sea.”
