34: Amazing Animals - Rescue Stories from Parks Around the World

Bring a passport because this week we're not only going to more than one park, but we are traveling around the world to get to them. In this episode we will explore a series of short amazing stories from around the globe. We are exploring almost unbelievable incidents of animals who rescue people, other species than their own, and even the environment.

Join us as we head to Serengeti National Park for the Great Migration and an unlikely hero who resides there. Keep your toddler close as we head to the National forests of Montana where a grizzly bear is acused of abducting a child. Pack a life vest as we head into the most dangerous waters in the world, located in a New Zealand National Park, where being consumed by a shark is a real threat. Meet Lady, the only survivor of her kind after poachers demolished her pride. Join us for these stories, and so much more. These stories will make you really begin to think - Do animals have emotions and feelings? Can they sympathize with others? Are animals people too?
