America the Wild

Bracing himself against the fierce elements of the frozen wilds of Alaska and British Columbia, Casey Anderson finds himself on his own “mission impossible” – a quest to find and film an elusive animal whose legend is almost larger than life, the Wolverine.

To better understand their survival strategies, wildlife naturalist Casey Anderson lives alongside Yellowstone's endangered grizzly population for one year.

We set out with Casey Anderson on a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to the “bear paradise” of Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Kodiak Island where he learns the remarkable techniques and mind-blowing fishing strategies that he will teach to his best friend Brutus, a nine-hundred pound grizzly bear, in his backyard in Montana.

Casey Anderson heads to the legendary Grand Canyon for an adventure of truly epic proportions – a trek through this vast wilderness that will take him from the California Condor to the Grand Canyon Rattlesnake and back again – to profiling the rare and endangered wildlife living on the edge of the abyss.

Casey plunges headlong into a covert-ops wildlife stakeout to determine the ultimate scavenger in a gladiator-style contest surrounding a fresh deer kill in Yellowstone – activity reaches a fever pitch as Wolves, Mountain Lions, Skunks, Ravens, Eagles, and Maggots come “out of the woodwork” for a piece of the action.

Casey’s newest protégé, “Casey-Junior,” is a six-week old ambassador Black Bear cub who will learn to walk, swim, climb, and forage, all for the first time under Casey’s careful tutelage; but what starts out small doesn’t stay that way as Casey embarks on an all-out quest to find Black Bears in the wildest country east of the Mississippi: Maine’s “Big Woods.”

Naturalist Casey Anderson sets out to track one of North America’s most elusive ghosts: the mountain lion.

On the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone, naturalist Casey Anderson goes “inside the pack” with a stunning profile of Yellowstone’s apex predator, the gray wolf, at the height of its power during the brutal grip of winter.

A strange and puzzling story is swirling through the land of the midnight sun: Polar Bears and Brown Bears, isolated from one another for millennia by geography, climate, and behavior, are suddenly appearing side-by-side – prompting Casey Anderson to embark on a fact-finding mission in the hopes of solving one of the natural world’s most intriguing new mysteries.

With the brutal extremes of winter looming, Casey Anderson treks deep into Yellowstone’s wild backcountry, braving severe cold, freak snowstorms, and dangerous animal encounters to witness the drama that unfolds as the seasons change and animals fight to survive.

The saga of a bear becoming a star, an animal trainer following his dreams, and an entertaining educational mission to make the world a better place for all animals – both wild and tame.

Prepared to endure the unpredictable extremes of the season, naturalist Casey Anderson introduces the many faces of spring in the Yellowstone ecosystem.

Casey profiles a trio of legendary Yellowstone grizzly bear attack stories and offers up a playful “crash course” on everyday life living with bears at the edge of wilderness.
