New National Geographic Channel Kicks Off with Yellowstone Grizzlies

News Nugget

National Geographic this week launches a new TV channel of 24/7 nature programming and one of the first programs to be featured is centered on the Yellowstone Grizzly.

Expedition Wild: Expedition Grizzlies follows naturalist Casey Anderson as he documents the in-peril Yellowstone grizzly population and tries to teach an orphan grizzly how to be a real bear.

Here’s a sneak peek from Hulu:

What’s really cool is Expedition Wild is produced in Montana by Montanans who know Yellowstone and its bears, Bozeman-based Grizzly Creek Films.

According to a story in the Christian Science Monitor, National Geographic hopes “Nat Geo WILD” will replace the Fox Reality Channel in some 50 million homes across the United States. We can only hope. Something tells me we might all be better off if 50 million homes opt for studying nature over studying the “Househusbands of Hollywood.”
