Casey Anderson, looking more and more like Jason Mraz these days, returns to Nat Geo Wild this Sunday for the fourth season of America the Wild at 10:00. And this Sunday Casey will be tracking an animal he knows oh so well as they left some teeth in his leg a couple years ago. But the difference between wolves in captivity, which gave Casey his stitches) and wolves in the wild is that the wild ones do not attack humans, they keep their distance from us. Except on Canada’s West Coast where wolf attracts are on the rise and Case and his America the Wild team head there to find out why.
Casey theorizes that these wolves are actually half wolf / half dog called, surprisingly wolf dogs, who are not as scared of humans as their canine ancestors (just think of what happens when you try to take Fido’s food bowl away mid meal). This leads Casey to visit some wolf dogs in captivity who humorous take the fuzzy part of the boom mike from the camera operator and uses it as a chew toy. It is almost as funny as the way Casey tries to obtain DNA, to confirm his beliefs, from what he thinks is wolf dogs in the wild.
Later this season, Casey travels to the American West to see if there is a way for the mountain lion and the bighorn sheep to make peace. Later Casey goes south of the border to the banks of the Rio Usumacinta in Mexico on the hunt of vampire bats in a cave that one caver has dubbed “the torture chamber.” Just the name alone is the reason Casey Anderson has a television and I am content with watching from my couch.
America the Wild with Casey Anderson airs Sundays at 10:00 on Nat Geo Wild.
