4th October is WORLD ANIMAL DAY and National Geographic Wild is on the road with photographer Joel Sartore in Brazil and Indonesia as he photographs at-risk species to inspire people to save them. Whether he’s using a walk-in shower to photograph a giant armadillo, diving underwater with an Amazonian manatee, or hiking at ~12,000 feet in the Colorado Rockies for an American pika, Joel will do whatever it takes to get a good photograph.
The animals are definitely worth the effort: kangaroos that live in trees, 5-foot tall cassowary birds, and Kanzi the ‘speaking’ bonobo all make appearances. Expect all-day programming of the most amazing animals along with the UK premiere of PHOTO ARK: LOOK THEM IN THE EYE on Monday 4th at 8pm.
