UNTAMED Season 4


#401 - The Greater Impact of Wildlife Patients
Every wildlife patient is offered state-of-the-art veterinary medical care; some are treated and released, while others may be too seriously injured to recover. Every single animal has a story to share, a story that illustrates the wider problems wildlife face.

Short:
Learn how wildlife patients that don’t survive still contribute to education and culture.

#402 - Predators
Humas have long had a complicated relationship with their native wild carnivores, often with attempts to actively eliminate these animals, leaving behind ecosystems in dire need of that natural control mechanism. With the absence of large apex predators, smaller meso-predators such as bobcats, foxes, and coyotes have begun to fill that ecological role.

Short:
Learn about the vital role predators play in a healthy ecosystem.

#403 - Citizen Science
Citizen Science is known as the collection and analysis of data relating to the natural world by members of the public. Those participating in citizen science projects and activities are not professional scientists; rather, this collaborative research is done by everyday people in a wide variety of settings around the world to help answer questions that scientists can’t answer by themselves.

Short:
Discover what citizen science is and how it helps in understanding our natural world.

#404 - Land Management
As humans continue to move across and dominate the open landscapes of North America, transforming diverse native ecosystems into managed areas for crops, livestock, or even simply for aesthetics, our native resident and transient wildlife lose habitat. Learn how sustainable land management leads to a more diverse and healthier environment.

Short:
Learn how sustainable land management leads to a more diverse and healthier environment.

#405 - Invasive Species
Although world ecosystems are in danger from a whole host of varied and distinct threats, there are few issues more difficult to tackle or more complex to understand than invasive species control. These species arrive in an ecosystem in which they are not native and have not evolved, with no existing space within the habitat.

Short:
Investigate invasive plant and animal species and how they disrupt natural ecosystems.

#406 - Watersheds
Water is the great architect of Earth and a defining factor for the location and movement of life on this planet. Without water, our world would look very different; without the watersheds which capture, coalesce, move, and recycle water throughout a natural system, human and wildlife habitats would not be the same.

Short:
Understand the challenges facing our watersheds and how we can protect them.

#407 - Pollinators
Pollinators are a vital part of our world and are essential for creating and maintaining habitats that many animals – including us! – rely on for food and shelter. The diversity of pollinators in a particular area is a key indicator to the health of an overall ecosystem.

Short:
Learn how the pollination process works, and helps maintain a healthy environment.

#408 - Wild Winter Worlds
How do wildlife survive the tougher winter months? With cold temperatures and fewer food resources, the winter season can be challenging for a variety of wild animals. Some animals migrate to different areas, some hunker down for a long winter’s nap, and some simply continue their daily activities.

Short:
Learn how a variety of wildlife species survive the often-harsh conditions of winter.
