“The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the ability to kill prey many times its size”

A two-part documentary by naturalist John Ross which looks at some of the most elusive and remarkable creatures of North America.

Part 1: RIVER OTTER
This show is bound to provide a half hour of sheer joy and entertainment as John explores the wondrous and playful world of the Northern River Otter (Lontra canadensis). From hunting to simply surviving the River Otter seems to add a bit of 'play' into everything he does. A highly entertaining documentary about one of the most graceful swimmers on the planet.

Part 2: WOLVERINE
Ravenous, fearless and ferocious; the Wolverine (Gulo gulo) attacks and kills it’s prey with the same determination that it stands up to predators ten times it’s size. Watch the Wolverine face down a pack of wolves and chase a bear up a tree! See the Wolverine on the hunt, chasing and killing it’s quarry with surprising speed.

This documentary is part of the award-winning ‘Animal World’ series, a television series which set a new standard for wildlife documentaries during the late 1990s. (Animal World has been released on DVD around the globe and is also known as ‘Wildlife’ or ‘Safari’ in certain countries)

Animal World is hosted by naturalist John Ross, who devoted his life to exploring the natural world and documenting its secret treasures. As a wildlife expert, he provides a unique insider's look into the lives and behaviours of animals in the untamed reaches of the planet.
