"Rat Genius" ***NEW SPECIAL***
Friday, October 20 at 9:00 PM ET/PT (World Premiere)
Rats have been vilified and associated with disease and filth but why have
they been so successful in outsmarting our best efforts to combat them?
Now, the National Geographic Channel takes an in-depth look at these clever
creatures to reveal their supreme agility, remarkable adaptability, and
shockingly witty minds. In Rat Genius, see how scientists are trying to put
their intelligence to use in detecting landmines in Africa and sniffing out
disease in humans.
"The Animal Extractors: Raccoon Attack" ***SERIES PREMIERE moves to Monday,
Oct. 30 at 10 PM ET/PT***
Monday, October 30 at 10:00 PM ET/PT (World Premiere)
True stories of human-wildlife encounters in people's homes are becoming
more commonplace as the boundaries between cities and natural habitats blur.
The real question becomes-how do we keep the peace with our wild neighbors?
Now, NGC takes you to the front lines of wildlife recovery with its new
weekly series The Animal Extractors. First, in the series premiere,
wildlife control agents rush to a home where an extremely aggressive mother
raccoon and her litter are living in the attic. Next, a Nevada state field
biologist and a black bear expert respond to an emergency call about a bear
that entered a woman's kitchen through the "doggie door." Then, in Florida,
state alligator control agents are on the trail of a nine-foot male
alligator that's been terrorizing a lakeside community in West Palm Beach.
And finally, a husband and wife team responds to a call from a distressed
woman in a sleepy suburb of Auburn, California, who thought she heard a
sprinkler go off but then realized it was a large rattlesnake, shaking its
tail, less than two feet away.
"Dog Whisperer: Chip, Lucy, Hank & Betty, and Leo" ***Replaces "The Animal
Extractors" on Monday, Oct. 23 at 10 PM ET/PT***
Monday, October 23 at 10:00 PM ET/PT (Encore Presentation)
Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan comes to the rescue of former James Bond girl
Denise Richards. "Wild Things" actress turns to renowned dog behavior
expert Cesar Millan to learn how to be the "Pack Leader." At home, Denise
finds herself battling daily with a different pack of wild things... her
three dogs, Lucy, Hank and Betty. Denise has owned her dogs since they were
puppies, but they seem to be running the household now! Lucy the Boston
terrier, Hank the French bulldog and Betty the pug all have one thing in
common: they do whatever they want, whenever they want. Can Cesar help
Denise regain control of her pack? Viewers will also meet the Pack family
and their miniature pinscher Chip. Chip has a nasty habit of nipping at
visitors and after a failed attempt with a dog trainer, the Packs are at a
complete loss. Chip's nips have now turned into bites that have drawn blood
and even required stitches. Can Cesar show the Packs how to become pack
leaders and remove the mean streak in the mini pin? And finally, meet lazy
Leo, a 10-month-old basset hound that sometimes refuses to walk, forcing his
owner Linda to literally drag him home. To help out on this unusual case,
Cesar enlists two members of his pack: Coco the Chihuahua and Luigi, a
7-year-old Lhasa Apso belonging to Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith. Can
Cesar teach Linda to master the walk? And how will Leo react to Cesar's
pack?
"Struck by Genius" ***Moves from Monday, Oct. 16 at 10 PM ET/PT to Day and
Time TBD***
Day and Time TBD
Did Albert Einstein's extraordinary intelligence originate at birth? Was
his brain wired differently-allowing him to have a tremendous amount of
memory and creativity? Does this ability exist in all of us? In Struck by
Genius, NGC opens up a unique window into the human brain to better
understand the mysterious talents of genius' like Einstein.
