Remember the horrible Eddie Murphy version of Dr. Doolittle
where he tried to adapt a circus bear into the wild to mildly humorous effect. That is kind of what is going on with Expedition Wild: Project Kodiak premiering tonight at 9:00 on Nat Geo Wild. Casey Anderson is traveling to Kodiak, Alaska to view grizzly bears in the wild so he can teach his 900 hundred pound buddy Brutus to live like his relatives do like swimming in water and even create a waterfall to reenact a bear trying to catch a salmon swimming upstream. Along the trip, we even get a cameo from one of the stars from Soul Plane
(no seriously, it took me a couple minutes to realize what I was seeing) who takes on Casey in a game of fly fishing. Future episodes of Expedition Wild will focus on the wild wolves of Yellowstone, a journey with Casey trekking through Yellowstone during two key seasons – winter and spring – documenting every living thing he encounters; and a one hour special with the complete history of his relationship with Brutus. Check out a preview of tonight’s episode below:
The other programming premiering tonight right after Expedition Wild is Mystery Gorillas at 10:00. The show follows explorer Mireya Mayor as she immerse herself in the jungles of Africa studying wild gorillas including one that they affectionately call Ugly. They even discover gorillas using tools for the first time viewed by a human. But my favorite part of show is how all the westerners are dressed in earth tones that border on camouflage while the native tour guide wears a very bright colored basketball jersey.
