NATURE | Raccoon Nation | Living For the City | PBS
The raccoon's intelligence, adaptable nature, and omnivorous diet all help the species thrive in urban landscapes. When the lights go down in cities across North America, another world is revealed, populated by shady little characters that live alongside us, but exist in the margins. These pint-size problem solvers are smart, adaptable and omnivorous, and they love a good challenge. Welcome to the world of urban raccoons. With their busy little hands, they can do what other would-be urban animals can't %mdash open doors, get into attics, and raid secured trash cans. And they are especially fond of big cities, like Chicago, New York, and Toronto %mdash the raccoon capital of the world. In cities everywhere, wherever they've been introduced, they have done very, very well. It seems that the more obstacles you throw in their way, the smarter they get. In an effort to outwit raccoons, we may be pushing their brain development and perhaps even sending them down a new evolutionary path. One biologist who has been studying raccoons for 25 years believes the city life is in fact cultivating "%uumlber-raccoons," ready to take over the world. Only time will tell just how advanced this "nation" of urban raccoons will become. "Raccoon Nation" premieres on PBS Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 8/7c (check local listings) and is part of the 30th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET.ORG for PBS.

NATURE | Fortress of the Bears | A Heroic Return | PBS
See the full episode at video.pbs.org It's taken all spring and summer, but the salmon finally return to Admiralty Island to spawn. Alaska's Admiralty Island is home to an estimated 1800 brown bears, the largest concentration of bears in the world. Nearly 100 miles long and 20 miles wide, it is half the size of Yellowstone National Park, yet it sustains four times more grizzlies. The native Tling%iacutet people call this island "Kootznoowoo," meaning "Fortress of the Bears." It is a place where bears depend on fish, fish depend on trees, and the trees depend on fish-eating bears to spread the nitrogen rich bodies of salmon throughout the forest. Everything depends on the annual salmon run. When a change in the weather keeps the salmon from arriving, the entire ecosystem is affected. Enter a world shaped by bears, trees, and salmon, and explores the delicate balance of their interconnected lives. "Fortress of the Bears" premieres on PBS Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 8/7c (check local listings) and is part of the 30th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET.ORG for PBS.

NATURE | Jungle Eagle | A Hungry Harpy | PBS
After three days of rain, a harpy mother is desperate to feed her hungry chick. Harpy eagles are the most powerful birds of prey in the world. Standing three feet tall, with a six-foot wingspan and razor-sharp talons the size of bear claws, these birds are the heavyweight hunters of the South American rainforest. They are the top predators in the jungle canopy, feeding regularly on tree-dwelling mammals like monkeys and sloths. But scientists know very little about harpy eagles because their numbers are few and their habitat is large. Hidden in the branches of the canopy, they are rarely seen, let alone filmed. NATURE enters the secret world of the harpy, and provides a treasure trove of new information about this majestic species. "Jungle Eagle" premieres on PBS Wednesday November 9, 2011 at 8pm and is part of the 30th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET.ORG for PBS.

NATURE | Animal House | Preview | PBS
Why do some animals build structures and others don't? And how do animals decide where to build? Animal homes need to be safe and secure, protected from predators and the weather. An eagle's nest can weigh up to one ton, a termite mound can stand eight feet tall, and some falcon nest sites have been around for centuries. Going above ground and under, NATURE investigates just what goes into making a home when you're wild and cost is not a factor.
